First Dance Song at your wedding

[Im_just_me]

The song I'm listening to right now is just perfect for a wedding. The name of the song is "Crazy Over You" by 112. It was never relaesed to radio, but, it is a beautiful song off of their second CD, Room 112. Just to give you a feel for the song, here are the words...



I fell in love with you,
T'was like a dream come true
And my love for you will never end oh no
Was such a special night
You lay right by my side
And I told you things I never ever told

And now that I have you babe
I promise I'll never leave
Cuz you are the only one that makes my love complete...

[Chorus:]
And I'm,
Crazy over you,
I dont know what to do,
I'm Crazy over you...

A love that never ends
You're more than just a friend
And my heart and soul I'll always give to you,
The only in my life
Someday you'll be my wife,
And I'll be with you until the end of time...

And now that I have you babe
I promise I'll never leave
Cuz you are the only one that makes my love complete...

[Chorus]

It doesnt matter what you say or do
Because I love you (And I know you love me too)
Love me, kiss me, and hold me in your arms
Lets me know you're crazy over me
And I'm Crazy over you
Cuz you are the only one,
To make my life complete...

[Chorus until end]

I'll be back with others later on today...

Can someone help me out on that?

I like "Unforgettable" for a father-daughter/mother-son song. "It Had to be you" is also another good first dance song--I prefer Tony Bennett, but the Harry Connick Jr. version is equally good.

[Betarulz!]

Haven't seen that many of the "misunderstood" songs except for one....

"Crash into Me" by DMB...it's a song about a peeping tom - so unless that is how you met (eww) probably not a good choice. If you really listen to the lyrics you'll realize that you don't want grandma hearing that (sample lyric: Oh, I watch you there
Through the window
And I stare at you
You wear nothing, but you
Wear it so well AND hike up your skirt a little more, show your world to me


Also, no one has mentioned this but The Police's "Every Breath You take" is another rather dark song that is often used...but the song has really a rather scary possesive/stalker vibe to it.


Just make sure whatever song you pick that the lyrics really say what you want.

I want mine to be "Someone Like You" by Van Morrison, although I won't be getting married for a very very long time.

[kstar]

With my future husband - It's a duet between Olivia Newton John and Gene Kelly in the musical Xanadu. It has that old big band style, and easy to dance to.

"No other face could take you off my mind
You're so refined - you're much too kind
I have to warn you I'm never gonna set you free
'Cause I was born to love you for eternity
Whenever you're away from me, wherever you go
You're never far away from me, I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear, and suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray, 'cause I'll never be far away
On every breeze I seem to hear your name
My heart's aflame - I feel the same
I'd fall apart dear, if you let the feelin' end
Don't break a heart dear nobody else could mend
Whenever you're away from me, wherever you go
You're never far away from me, I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear, and suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray, 'cause I'll never be far away
(Instrumental break)
Whenever you're away from me, wherever you go
You're never far away from me, I want you to know
I only have to close my eyes dear, and suddenly I'm where you are
You better never stray, 'cause I'll never be far away
You better never stray, 'cos I'll never be far away"

And then, with my Daddy, I want his favorite song (by the Platters):

"Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Pretending I'm doing well
My need is such I pretend too much
I'm lonely but no one can tell
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Adrift in a world of my own
I play the game but to my real shame
You've left me to dream all alone
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart
can't conceal
Ooh Ooh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not (you see)
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around
Yeah ooh hoo
Too real is this feeling of make believe
Too real when I feel what my heart
can't conceal
Oh yes I'm the great pretender
Just laughing and gay like a clown
I seem to be what I'm not you see
I'm wearing my heart like a crown
Pretending that you're still around"

[GeekyPenguin]

My roomie and her fiancee are dancing to "Fishin' in the Dark" because one of their first dates was fishing!

I just told GPBoy that if we get married we're doing the Chicken Dance for the mother/son father/daughter dance because his mom hate smiling, but you HAVE to smile for the chicken dance!

[ladyj39]

I LOVE this song, and hopefully one day it will be my first dance:

Edwin McCain - I Don't Know How I Got By

How did I wake up each day
Before that moment I saw your face
Where was I before your touch
Nowhere is where I was without you
Without you in it
My life was just a lie
Before you I don't how I got by

Before I met you
Before I held you in the night
I don't know how I survived
Before I found you
Before you made everything right
I was half alive
I wasn't really living
Till you came into my life
I got through baby
But I don't know how I got by

And how did I get through those nights
Before that moment I held you tight
And where was I before your kiss
How did I exist without you
Life had no meaning
No reason and no rhyme
And before you I don't know how I got by

Before I met you
Before I held you in the night
I don't know how I survived
Before I found you
Before you made everything right
I was half alive
I wasn't really living
Till you came into my life
I got through baby
But I don't know I got by

I think of when I wake each day
Of waking next to you
I don't know what I was living for
Before you, before you

Before I met you
Before I held you in the night
I don't know how I survived
Before I found you
Before you made everything right
I was half alive
I wasn't really living
Till you came into my life
I got through baby
But I don't know I got by
Before I met you
I don't know how I got by


It's from the movie "Family Man"

[James]

"50 ways to leave your lover" Was thata choice?

LOL

[chitownxo]

Mr. Chitownxo and I have discussed this topic. If we don't decide to elope to Las Vegas, our first song is going to be "True Companion" by Marc Cohen. Well, he'd probably be happy with
"Baby Got Back", but anyhoo....

Baby I've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I'm an angel
And sometimes I'm cruel
And when it comes to love
I'm just another fool
Yes, I'll climb a mountain
I'm gonna swim the sea
There ain't no act of God girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I'm asking you to be my true companion
True companion
True companion

So don't you dare and try to walk away
I've got my heart set on our wedding day
I've got this vision of a girl in white
Made my decision that it's you allright
And when I take your hand
I'll watch my heart set sail
I'll take my trembling fingers
And I'll lift up your veil
Then I'll take you home
And with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
True companion

When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like the couple on the corner do
'Cause girl I will always be in love with you
And when I look in your eyes
I'll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when I leave this Earth
I'll be with the angels standin'
I'll be out there waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion

I love that song!

see and Mr. Jaggerboy and I were thinking about Prince's "P*ssy Control" but I don't know how grandma would like it.

So we'd probably go classic. Maybe something from Sinatra. Young at Heart?

[sororitygirl2]

The two that people have mentioned on here that I have considered in the past:

"At Last" by Etta James

The "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World" medley

I think it is important to have something that means something to the couple but I am also a strong believer in a very classy, traditional wedding ceremony and reception so I really like the jazz and oldie choices... no hip hop at my wedding, no DJ either... I want a big band or an orchestra... or both!

[ansturge]

hmm what about that tim mcgraw song my best friend -- doesnt seem like its a slow song, but i hope my hubbie is my best friend

[sororitygirl2]

I had a friend dance to that "My Best Friend" song at her wedding. It was cute because it was totally them.

[Winterbloom]

I want "Night and Day" for my wedding by Mr. Sinatra. My young man is a Jersey boy, and much of our courting has taken place in New Jersey and New York, so Ol' Blue Eyes will definitely feature in my wedding. I'm such a lover of big band and swing, and so that will probably be the theme of the wedding, if we even have a reception. At this point, we've seriously discussed just having a tiny church wedding, then having a big ol' byob barbeque in the backyard! We're not too stuffy of folks down here, in case you haven't noticed!

My Grandbig just got married a few weeks ago, and one of their dance songs that was really sweet was "Unanswered Prayers" by Garth Brooks. I really love that song, too.

I think everyone's talking weddings because the bride's month itself--June--is coming up, and everyone seems to want to get married in the spring/early summer.
