I heard Christopher Williams- Not A Perfect Man.... and that would be a great song for a groom to sing to his bride.....

I am not sure of the title but the song is by Musiq - I think "Don't Change" or something like that. I had that as my first dance.

I think his name is Tony Terry - Every Lasting Love is good.

There are so many songs, it is hard to chose.

I also had "Spend my life with you" Eric Benet and Tamia BEAUTIFUL!!!

My friend had "Love" by Kirk Franklin and the Family. I think it is on his first CD. These young girls sang it and they could blow - OMG!!!

Okay, sorry to butt in but I have to tell you what happened when hubby and I were looking for wedding songs.

Song: Where Sheeps May Softly Graze (instrumental)
Artist: V. Wolfe

We were laughing so hard people were staring at us. We did play it at the wedding as an inside joke. :D

For my wedding I used:

Usher Me into the Presence of the Lord (T.D. Jakes Sacred Loves Song) and Jesus You're the Center of my Joy- Prenuptial Music

I Love the Lord (Preacher's Wife soundtrack), for setting of the mothers

Total Praise (Richard Smallwood) for bridal party

Jesus Is Love (Lionel Richie)- me walking down the aisle

The Lord's Prayer- candle lighting

I wanted all Christian Songs and it was lovely.

I'm surprised I haven't seen anyone suggest this one yet, but John P. Kee has a relatively older so called "Wedding Song." It's not cheesy and overplayed at weddings like a lot of wedding songs, but it's actually wedding-themed and has elements of being brought together by God in it, too.

Other songs I thought of:

"It's a New Season" - celebrating a new season in the couples' life

"Eye On the Sparrow" - signifying the Lord watching over the new union

"We Made It" (Hezekiah Walker) - song of divine victory

Look at totalpraise.net for more songs with lyrics!

Well I love these songs

"After All is Said and Done"- Beyonce and Marc Nelson (they played it in The Best Man)

" Every Time You Go Away" - Brian McKnight

"Breathe" - Faith Hill

"Dance With My Father" - Luther Vandross or "Daddy" By Beyonce for father daughter dance

" Never Gonna Let You Go" - Faith Evans

Lovely choices. I think I am afraid of the big wedding concept. So if/when I do get married, I'll be going to the islands somewhere and it will only be me and my groom. NO one else.

I don't like the idea of a big wedding either. It scares me.

Great post.

This gives me ideas of songs I could use at my ceremony.

The bride and groom dance, we've decided to do Eric Benet and Tamia "Spend my life with you"

I have always loved "AS" by Stevie Wonder. Best. song. ever.

I Call It Love ** Lionel Richie

We had a small wedding in the Bahamas. Here are the songs we used:

My bridal party - Ribbon In The Sky-Intro (version)
Me- Ribbon In The Sky - Stevie Wonder(version)
Bride & Mother - If I Could - Nancy Wilson
Groom & Mother - I'll Always Love My Momma

Another good song is the one used in the movie The Wood.

My wedding will have gospel songs. A few that I love are:

Show Me Your Face-Fred Hammond
I Need You Now-Smokie Norful


Wedding reception, totally different story! I will be strolling at the reception with my Sawrahs!

I really like that song "You're The One" I've heard it on the radio a couple of times. I wish that song was out when I got married.
