-When I Fall in Love (The Nat King Cole version, NOT Celine Dion)
-Nature Boy (Nat King Cole)
-What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)
-Grow Old Along with Me (John Lennon)
-The Way you Look Tonight (Sinatra, yes a cliche...but it was one of our "first songs")
-And I Love Her (The Beatles)
-Overjoyed (Stevie Wonder)
-The Very Thought of You (Nat King Cole)
-Wonderful Tonight (Eric Clapton)

I love all of these, too, but What a Wonderful World is used more frequently for things like mother/son dances or father/daughter dances.
Let me ask my boyfriend... he DJ's wedding receptions on the weekends for fun (well he gets paid, but he enjoys doing it). He probably could name a million for you!

Our first song is definitely going to be something by DMB.  Maybe we will look back and cringe, our kids will make fun of us.....but Dave shaped my life during college almost as much as Mr. Mox.

another one i like is the duet with celine dion and ol blue eyes "all the way".....it's super pretty.
celine has excellent mushy love songs, so just check her out for good ones, really......
also, what is that new song out? "if you're not the one," or something? how sweet is that? who sings it?
my sister and her now ex danced to the song from moulin rouge, the lil secret song. names are escaping me........
"from this moment" by shania twain with brian white is such a wedding song

I like Kenny Latimore's For You
For you I'd make a promise of fidelity,
Now and for eternity
No one could replace this vow
For you I'd take your hand and heart and everything
And add to them a wedding ring
'Cause this life is no good alone,
Since we've become one you're all I know
And if this feeling should leave I'd die
And here's why
All I am is for you

A couple of really romantic, slightly less well known ones:
"To Make you Feel my Love" sung by either Garth Brooks or Bob Dylan
"If you Love me" rare duet with Van Morrison and B.B. King. Really, really gorgeous song.

I'm not married (yet...) but I know that I want my wedding song to be either "Amazed" by Lonestar or "You've got a Way" by Shania Twain.

We did "She has a way" and "Wind Beneath My Wings" - the first was "our" song, and the second had a lot to do with how I met my wife - she was Miss Deaf Colorado (yes, somehow, I managed to marry a beauty queen!) - and did Wind in sign language. The most beautiful thing I have ever seen.

Ivory, do you mean "If I Should Fall Behind"?
I'm a HUGE Springsteen fan and I love, love, LOVE that song! Its on our wedding video. Makes me teary every time.
We said we'd walk together baby come what may
That come the twilight should we lose our way
If as we're walkin a hand should slip free
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
We swore we'd travel darlin' side by side
We'd help each other stay in stride
But each lover's steps fall so differently
But I'll wait for you
And if I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now everyone dreams of a love lasting and true
But you and I know what this world can do
So let's make our steps clear that the other may see
And I'll wait for you
If I should fall behind
Wait for me
Now there's a beautiful river in the valley ahead
There 'neath the oak's bough soon we will be wed
Should we lose each other in the shadow of the evening trees
I'll wait for you
And should I fall behind
Wait for me
Darlin' I'll wait for you
Should I fall behind
Wait for me

Good luck deciding. I know it was tough for us.

I LOVE "In My Life"!!! That is my favorite Beatles song...just the absolute best, and I had thought of that one too...

Our first dance at out wedding was an oldie called "Hold me, Thrill me, Kiss me". I can't remember who sang it, but it is a pretty song.
I sang "Power of Love" for our friends' first dance about 10 or 11 years ago. I love that song, and I was so honored they wanted me to sing for them

Our first dance is going to be to James Taylor's "How Sweet it Is to be Loved by You"
Its always been "our song" and its such a happy, upbeat non-mushy song
Another song we're going to use is Jimmy Buffett's "Love and Luck" its our "other" song.
