Wedding Party/Groom Processional: A Thousand Years - The Piano Guys (instrumental)

Bride Processional: Marry Me - Train

Recessional: This will Be An Everlasting Love - Natalie Cole

Mother/Son Dance: Mama - Boyz II Men

Father/Daughter Dance: Isn't She Lovely - Stevie Wonder

Bride/Groom Dance: Perfect - Ed Sheeran


What are your choices? Still looking for ideas.

    Eye to Eye -- I love it!! My fiancee actually has a Powerline "concert tour" shirt he got from Target

    and I LOVE "I believe in a thing called loved"!! He hates it. But it will be played during the reception. haha

    We still have some of this to sort but this is what we have decided on.

    Bride walks down the aisle to I found you

    First Dance - Let's Stay Together


    We may do something a bit geeky for the recessional, as we are both Dr. Who fans and FH suggested we use the theme song... I love the idea in concept but the music is really ominous sounding so I am not sure...

    We aren't doing parent dances (I don't think)... and we still need to come up with the Wedding Party / Groom Processional music...
