I've got friends getting married, any (new) suggestions?

When I got married 2 years ago that was our first dance. I always said it would be. :D

I had the DJ play "For You I Will" by Monica at my sister's wedding and she really liked it. Me, I want "When I fall in love" I think that's on the first page of this post. I thought it'd be cool to sing that to my husband at our reception...when I get over my stage fright...and when I find a man...:)

Here are the songs I had for my wedding last year:

Order My Steps - seating of grandparents
Give Us This Day - entrance of parents/candle lighting
Still In Love (Brian McKnight) - entrance of wedding party
So Amazing (Luther)-entrance of the bride (didn't want the traditional march)
Overjoyed (Stevie)
You (Jesse Powell) - 1st dance
Wildflower (Newbirth) - dance with my dad (it's his favorite song)

If the CD had been out at the time, I would have used John Legend's songs (Stay with You and Cloud Nine) somewhere!

Come Away with Me ~~Norah Jones

Here are some of the songs I had at my wedding.

You and I (Can Conquer the world)- Steve Wonder (I walk down the ale to this song. Not a dry eye was in the house.)

At Last - Etta James

Back At One - Brian McKnight

Time Will Reveal - Debarge

Perfect Combination - Johnny Gill & Stacy Latisaw


If you need help with music, I am the queen of old school love songs!

Some ideas from my wedding:

Brazilian Wedding Song-Quincy Jones-Bridal Party Entrance
So Amazing-Luther-Bridal Entrance
I Feel Good-James Brown-Exit Song (It was too fun!)
By Your Side-Sade-First Song
My Girl-The Temptations-Dance with Dad

Ceremony was short, sweet and on a tropical island. Highly recommended!

I agree. I don't understand why some people pay so much $$$ for a wedding to a point where they have a wedding note afterwards. If I could have gone to an island to have my wedding, I would have but my grandparents are so elderly, I didn't want them to travel like that. I had a nice wedding but allot of our money went on building our house because after the wedding you have to have a place to live. Don't let those high consultants fool you. You can have a beautiful, classy wedding with a modest budget.

Preach! I am telling you, it was the best decision I ever made. It was VERY little stress, I paid about a tenth (maybe a little more) of what the national avereage wedding costs. The cons are, getting people out to where you want to have your wedding. You may have to give up the idea of EVERYONE being able to go. But that is also a pro. You won't have to worry about paying $30 per plate (or more) for your mama's cousin's auntie's best friends's mailman who you have never met to come to your wedding. I really suggest for any bride, whether they are having their wedding in the US or abroad to KISS. Keep It Simple, Stupid!
That is, unless you are ballin' like that!:D

Mine has to be "For You" by Kenny Lattimore.
