Suggestions for Wedding Songs?

[mathias1979]

I didn't know what forum would be be best for this thread, so if any moderators see the need to move this, please do.

My fiance and I are trying to find a good song for our first dance at our wedding. Just looking for some additional suggestions. Doesn't necessarily have to be God related. The top runners thus far are:

Wedding Song (There is Love) - Gordon Lightfoot
Now and Forever - Richard Marx

-Matt

Adam Sandler:Wedding singer: "I wanna grow old with you"

Classic and easy to play.

"I Promise You Forever" by Jill Parr

---I promise you forever and I vow that I will never walk away,
and when forever's done, if I could hold you for just one more day... I'll find a way...."---

aww... so cute, so cute!

I sang this during our wedding ceremony! It is a beautiful song.

For our first dance we played "The Nearness of You." It's an older song from the forties. It was on Norah Jones' first album. There's also a great duet of it with Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong.

I also love "Someone like you" by Van Morrison for a first dance.

I LOVE this song! I think it's perfect!

The Lightfoot song is better suited for the ceremony in my opinion. Can you dance to that song anyway?

Edwin McCain - I'll Be
Eric Clapton - Change the World
Shania Twain - You're Still The One
Norah Jones - Just about all of it

wow almost no christian music. praise God. I know hes excited about that. [sarcasm]

I always liked that michael w smith song. love of my life. thats a good one for a wedding song.

Maybe I missed where the OP was asking for specifically Christian songs?

Just because a song isn't by a Christian artist doesn't mean that it is a bad song or going against God. Most of the songs suggested talk about sharing your life with the one you love. I have a feeling that God is going to be shining through the couple - no matter what song they dance to. Lighten up!



To the OP - another nice song is For the Rest of My Life by BeBe Winans.

Oh gosh... :o

Anyways, you also can never go wrong with instrumental stuff... like Kenny G stuff.. very good stuff cheesy, but good. "Forever in Love" is a really good one of his.

P.S. Congrats by the way!

Actually...I specifically mentioned they did NOT need to be christian. Thanks for all the suggestions. I know some of the songs, not all. I'll definitely need to check out the Geoff Moore song. And yeah...the Lightfoot song is danceable...but it just doesn't seem to fit the mood of a wedding reception...so that's why we're still looking.

Fine Ill say it...
Its country.
Tim McGraw Faith Hill, "Its your love", danceable and fits the mood... DOH none christian though *WP avoids lighting bolts*..... I figured sorry Man.

We're doing "Love in Any Language" by Sandi Patti at my wedding (my sister used to sing it when she was teenager in front of the church. She refused to sing at my wedding cause she doesn't think her voice will hold out without crying. But I've got someone else to sing it. I love the message. And I love that it reminds me of my sister.)

"We Will Dance" Stephan Curtis Chapman.

He wrote MANY beautiful songs to his wife, this being one of them. This is another song that will be played during my wedding ceremony.
