    We are doing a split dance. First part is going to be all slow to Edge of Forever by Richard Marx and then it will cut into In Control by Nemesea.

    "Love of a Lifetime" by Firehouse. My bridesmaid also played it on her violin as I walked down the aisle, so it was perfect!

    Forever - by Ben Harper  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHzAVDg4m1Q

     

    Lyrics

     

    Not talking about a year , no not three of four
    I don't want that kind of forever in my life any more
    forever allways seem to be around when things begin
    but , forever never seems to be around when things end
    (ch)
    So give me your forever
    please your forever
    not another day less will do
    from you

    People spend so much of there time every single day
    running 'round all over town giving there forever away
    but no ,not me i won't let my for ever roam
    and now i hope that i can find my forever a home
    (ch)
    like a handless clockwith numbers on an infinte of time
    no not the forever found only in the mind
    forever allways seems to be around when things begin
    but forever never seems to be around when things end

    @TinyTina: That's an awesome song.  would've never thought to use it for our first dance, but definitely a great choice for "us rockers"  lol

    We're doing Seal-Kiss from a rose.  And being introduced with Seal singing the beginning.  Its gonna be interesting ....

    @simpleandchic: Such a great song! We're using it for our processional.

    We've been debating this since before we were engaged and we're still not 100% settled on a song. The only one we've both been able to agree on is "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele so that's what I'm considering our first dance song to be at this point.

    We are going to dance to Carbon Leave- Life Less Ordinary.... it could be a little fast but it is totally our relationship.  He knew and said I love you first, and it totally freaked me out .... but i stayed!  I hope it works out as our first dance.

    Little Big Town  "Bring it on home"

     

    You've got someone here
    Wants to make it all right
    Someone that loves you more
    Than life right here
    You've got willing arms that'll hold you tight
    A hand to lead you on through the night right here
    I know your heart can get
    All tangled up inside
    But don't you keep it to yourself

    When your long day is over
    And you can barely drag your feet
    The weight of the world
    Is on your shoulders
    I know what you need
    Bring it on home to me

    You know I know you
    Like the back of my hand
    You know I'm gonna do
    All that I can right here
    Gonna lie with you
    Till you fall asleep
    When the morning comes
    I'm still gonna be right here
    Yes, I am
    (Ooooooooooooo)
    So take your worries and
    Just drop them at the door
    Baby, leave it all behind

    When your long day is over
    And you can barely drag your feet
    The weight of the world
    Is on your shoulders
    I know what you need
    Bring it on home to me

    Baby, let me be your safe harbor
    Don't let the water come
    And carry you away

    When your long day is over
    And you can barely drag your feet
    The weight of the world
    Is on your shoulders
    I know what you need
    Bring it on home to me

    Oh, bring it on home
    Yeah, bring it on home to me
    Home to me
    Oh, bring it on, bring it on home
    to me

    You've got someone here wants
    To make it all right
    Someone that loves you more
    Than life right here

     

     

    LOVE THIS SONG  I GET ALL EMOTIONAL WHEN I HEAR IT HAHAH  :)

    The Very Thought of You by Etta James.  Very old school jazzy.  This is the one genre of music we both can agree on, so the song is perfect!

    @MrsMaine: I want "Then" to be our first song too! I'm trying to convince my FI who only recently started liking country music. I'm trying to picture how dancing to it would go though... you aren't doing a ballroom type dance, are you?

    We chose You and Me, by Lifehouse.  I love country music, but my hubby doesn't. I would have loved "Then" by Brad Paisley.

    This was a song we both liked and I still love to listen to it about once or twice a month. It "takes me back" to our first dance. :)

    We are doing the L.O.V.E song from the Parent Trap. (I know that's not the origin of the song but that's where I first heard it years ago and fell in love with the song then and am still in love with it now.) I'm way too excited for it.

    We danced to "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz.  I loved that it was contemporary and that I'd never heard it at another wedding before.

    Still working out the details (we just got engaged 6 days ago!) but I keep coming back to "Blue Eyes" by Cary Brothers. It's a beautiful, unique, 4 minute song that I can just visualize dancing with him to.  Plus he has these ridiculous blue eyes... it works.

    @Miss Beaumont: No, and we're totally winging it! We're pretty natural-looking dancers anyway, so I hope all goes well! Just want to do what feels right in the moment :)

    PS- Get that boy on the country train!! ;)

    We started with "The Way You Look Tonight" by Frank Sinatra. About 1 minute in, we cut to "Thriller" by Michael Jackson and did actual Thriller choreography. Then it mixed into "Now that We Found Love" by Heavy D and some of the wedding party joined us for a dance line. Then it ended back with "The Way You Look Tonight" for the big finish and dip! I mixed the mash-up myself, courtesy of some freeware sound editing software! It was a big hit, the cameras were out everywhere and the crowd was hooting and hollering.

    It was going to be Ottis Redding- That's how strong my love is...then I found this song and LOVE IT

    Sanders Bohlke- Till my days are through

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmH67zYYrBI

    My love for you Is as wide, as the day is long
    Your love for me is the reason I carry on
    No need for worry to weigh heavy on your mind
    Cause I don't worry
    You're there when I close my eyes
    So don't lose hope
    We got love on our sides

    Oh and I'll be alright
    With your faith so strong and true
    Oh and I'll be alright
    With your hands to hold onto
    Oh and I'll be alright
    As long as you love me til my days are through

    Storms will come
    And the rain it shall pass
    And our hearts they will shatter just like glass
    But rest easy, cause our souls they were made to last

    Oh and I'll be alright
    With your faith so strong and true
    Oh and I'll be alright
    With your hands to hold onto
    Oh and I'll be alright
    As long as you love til my days are through

    And as long as you're breathing,
    As long as your heart is beating,
    I'm gonna show you what I'm feelin'
    I'm feelin'

    Oh and I'll be alright
    With your faith so strong and true
    Oh and I'll be alright
    With your hands to hold onto
    Oh and I'll be alright
    As long as you love til my days are through...
