What song was your....

Michelle, on January 14, 2016 at 8:24 PM Posted in Community Conversations 0 28

So I have loved reading all of the fabulous choices you all have had for walking down the aisle. So many I never thought of!

That got me thinking about other songs that made memories on your day. I thought it would be fun to share:

First dance song

Father daughter dance

Mother son dance

Any other song you especially remember or plan to use for your day!

    Our first dance/our song is AL Green's "Let's Stay Together". Dad and I will dance to "My girl", being announced to "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" and cutting the cake to "Come and get your love".

    Introduced to Shut up and Dance. First dance: Better Together by Jack Johnson. My dad and I danced to House at Pooh Corner. I walked down the aisle to trumpet voluntary.

    Our first dance was "Come Rain or Come Shine" (Ray Charles version). Mother/daughter dance: "O Sole Mio" (Neapolitan song that carries a lot of meaning for me); Mother/son dance: "God Only Knows"; recessional: "How Sweet It Is" (think this was my favorite song of the night).

    1st dance: U2 - All I Want is You

    Father/daughter: Heartland- I Loved Her First

    Mother/Son - The Beatles - In My Life

    ETA: we didn't dance the entire length of the U2 song (7 minutes). We cut it at 2 minutes and 15 seconds

    First dance: "Into the Mystic" - Van Morrison

    Father/daughter: Michelle - The Beatles (Michelle is my real first name)

    I'm walking down the aisle to "How Long Will I Love You" - Ellie Goulding. FH really wants our recessional to be light and funny, so we are probably going with "Never Gonna Give You Up" - Rick Astley. Yup, FH wants to Rick Roll the wedding!

    I'm trying to walk down the aisle to Lost in This Moment by Big & Rich but I'm having a hard time finding a piano version. I found a cover on YouTube by some random guy. It's really good but I doubt my DJ would/could use it. Our first dance will be to Amazed by Lonestar and if my brother agrees to do the "father daughter" dance with me I'm thinking I'll use You Should be Here by Cole Swindell. We're not sure about a mother son song yet.

    FutureMrsHigh - weird question but how are you dancing to that song?? Just traditional or choreographed? FH and I absolutely adore that song, but we look ridiculous trying to dance to it since it's a little faster paced, trying to think of how to incorporate it.

    First dance - "You and Me" by Dave Matthews Band

    Daddy/Daughter- "My Girl"

    Other memorable songs: our recessional song was "Ain't that a Kick in the Head" and we actually started dancing to it after walking down the aisle, one of our favorite moments from the day

    Also, our big reception exit song was the theme from Firefly, one of our nerdy touches.
