    First Dance- Only you can love me this way Keith Urban

    Last Dance- When I said I do - Clint and Lisa Black

    I have a list of must plays for the DJ. I am so anal about music, my poor DJ probably thinks I am a total nut or a control freak! LOL

    First Dance: "In your eyes" - Peter Gabriel

    Father/ Daughter: "Daughter"- Louis Wainwright

    Mother/ Son: "Somewhere over the rainbow" - Eva Cassidy

    Considering "Don't you forget about me" as our last song. Our wedding has a movie theme. Can you tell? all the songs are from soundtracks. LOL

    That's all I got so far.

    I thought about using 'After All Is Said & Done' for my processional too! That is such a beautiful song!

    'Never Felt This Way' is my entrance song at the ceremony :-)

    Here are just a couple of songs we are thinking about:

    1. Everytime I close my eyes- Babyface and Mariah

    2. Don't Change- Musiq Soulchild

    3. Everything- LifeHouse

    4. I Care about you- Babyface feat. K-Ci & JoJo

    5. Save the best for last- Vanessa Williams

    6. Tell me it's Real- K-Ci & JoJo

    7. Tonight I Celebrate my Love- Peabo Bryson & Roberta Flack

    8. Until the End of Time- Justin Timberlake & Beyonce

    9. With this Ring- Platters

    10. You for Me- Johnny Gill (more than likely will be first dance)

    11. This Very Moment- K-Ci & JoJo (more than likely will be last dance)

    Because we both like the show Mike & Molly we stole their theme song

    1. I See Love by Keb Mo

    And because he loves Alicia Keys we also chose to add her on the list

    1. No One

    As far as reception music goes, we only have two songs for certain, and were not sure when one of them will be played.

    Entrance: Company of Fools - Great Big Sea

    Not sure: Mermaid Song - Great Big Sea (our song)

    This thread got me to finally sit down and start thinking about this, thanks!

    This is one of the things FH has been spending all his wedding energy on. He has a lot of ideas about general reception music, I have carefully picked the specifics (with his approval).

    Processional - 1, 2, 3, 4 by Plain White T's or Ours by Taylor Swift

    My Entrance - Grow Old With You - Adam Sandler

    Signing song - The Story - Brandi Carlile

    Processional - End of The World - Great Big Sea

    Reception Entrance - The theme song from the Office (we met at work and love the show)

    First Dance - When I'm 64 - The Beatles

    Father/Daughter Dance - You Are So Beautiful - Joe Cocker interrupted by Ain't Nobody Here But Us Chickens

    Hadn't really thought about the last dance, but I'm now thinking When I Saw Her Standing There by the Beatles might be a good choice.
