Bridal Waltz - what was your song?

[floggadog]

I know this has been asked before - quite'a while ago, but I just heard mine & hubbys' song we had our first dance to & it got me wondering what yours was?
Ours was 'Into my arms ' by Nick Cave & the Bad Seeds then 'Even When I'm Sleeping' by Leonardos Bride.
I still get misty eyed & emotional when I hear these songs , strange after 8 years.
So , did you go traditional, obscure or mainstream for your first dance as husband & wife & do you get misty eyed when you hear it?
Even better question - does your hubby recognise that song as your bridal waltz song?;)

[k2ma]

'The Wonder of You' by Elvis.

No DH does not recognise the title...i seriously doubt he would recognise the song without prompting!

I don't get misty eyed but naturally it bring back lovely memories...I write the words in DH's anniversary cards each year...he likes the lyrics...


(Was going to post them but am not sure if we are allowed to!!)

[Lollie]

We had 3.

Thank you for loving me - Bon Jovi
Love is all aorund - Wet Wet Wet
Unchained Melody - Righteous Brothers

[floggadog]

Can't say I know that one, k2ma, & I like your idea of writing the words in a card *mental note*.
Yeah I was thinking of posting words too but you're probably right, we'd prob. get busted.

ooo & I like Wet Wet Wet - what ever happened to them?

[Mamaduke]

'The Wonder of You' by Elvis.

(Was going to post them but am not sure if we are allowed to!!)

I love that song! What a great choice!

I walked down the aisle to First TIme Ever I Saw Your Face by Roberta Flack. I get teary every time I hear it (like I did on the day!).

Our first dance was Let's Stay Together by Al Green (it's an old song, from the Pulp Fiction soundtrack). The second one was Dreaming My Dreams with You by the Cranberries.

One of my close friends had Amazed too.

Another friend had U2 and Frank Sinatara singing Got You Under My Skin, it rocked!

[DivinelySophistimicated]

Beautiful by Darren Hayes,

I cry everytime I hear it cause its so true, he makes me feel so beautiful...

[mum_inlove]

We danced to 'Stick Wit You' by the Pussycat Dolls. It was romantic..and the lyrics reflects our relationship perfectly, even until now..I still have the warm fuzzy feeling whenever I hear the song...:o

[jasesmum]

We had "Heaven" the candlelight version by DJ SAMMY and then unchained melody - righteous Brothers (this was played also at my parents and sisters wedding...bit of a tradition thing).

Beautiful songs....DH is not the sentimental type but I'm sure he would recognise the songs, however I don't get to listen to radio much these days more kiddie songs:laughing: so haven't heard 'em in a while....might need to bring out the CD!

[Mummy2Noah]

We had 3 songs
Me and My Daddy Butterfly kisses

It is a beautiful song....specially considering he wrote it for his best mate who's wife is living in aged care at the age of 28 with MS....all proceeds of the single go towards opening up permanant care facilities for young people. :hugs:

[cindye]

We had a great band who played "How Sweet it is to be loved by you" as our first dance - it was perfect!

[Uniquey]

We were introduced into the reception to George Michael's 'Amazing' and our first bridal waltz was to Cindi Lauper's 'Time after Time' and then Madonna's 'Crazy for You'. Probably showing my age now:laughing:

[DivinelySophistimicated]

Has anyone heard Westlifes version of BUtterfly kisses?? Much prefer it to the Bob Carlisle version...

[sueliz]

Our first dance was to 'This Magic Moment' by Lou Reed. And our second song was 'The Two of Us' which is a Beatles song but we had a live band do this wonderful bluesy version of it.
Sigh....

[misskittyfantastico]

"Into My Arms" is one of my favourite songs, Flogga.

We had

"Throw your arms around me" - DAAS version. Followed by
"Fields of Gold" - Eva Cassidy version.

[blubber]

I walked in to - Aretha Franklin, Natural Woman.

We walked out to - Paul Kelly, "till death do us part.

We entered the reception to - Praise you by Fat Bot Slim.

...and we danced to - KD Lang's Air That I Breathe

We both still love them all and we get that look in our eye when we hear them played.

[Mischief]

We had.... Still the One by Shania Twain! LOL

[Flicka]

We had "The way you look tonight" - Tony Bennet. I know, I know sounds old and corny but was actually VERY romantic!

[MrsTyd]

Our song was "A Touch of Paradise" by John Farnham...and we don't get misty-eyed when we hear it, the wedding was only two days ago!

I'm sure if we hear it sometime in the future it'll hit us.

[earthfairy]

I walked down the aisle to....
"All i want is you" by U2

Signed The Registry....
"Forever Now" by Cold Chisel

Entered the Reception...
"Chase The Sun" by Planet Funk

Cut The Cake....
"Romeo & Juliet" bY Dire Straits

Bridal Waltz...
"Have I told you Lately?" by Van Morrison

Garter...
"The Spy" by The Doors

Left Reception
"Thank You" by Dido...

Such a wonderful day! We had friends make up a cd of all our music for us. I listen to it in the carValentine

[Roxy]

Ours was "The Colour of my Love (http://www.lyricsfreak.com/c/celine+dion/the+colour+of+my+love_20028431.html)" by Celine Dion...

[demeter]

We didn't have a bridal dance, not our thing, plus we were on a boat so there was little space for dancing, the two of us did get up and do some funky standing on the spot moves to "How to Save a Life" because that was a big hit at the time of the wedding.

We used our song for walking into the ceremony together, you can listen to it/watch it on my zoints profile, it's called Heartbeats by Jose Gonzalez, but he covered it, the original was by a Swedish techno band called The Knife, and it's totally crazy compared to the version we love (I also put that on my profile if you want a listen)

Everytime I hear the Jose Gonzaelz version I get this overwhelming feel of love, all those wonderful feelings from when we first started dating, to those exciting/happy feelings of the day we celebrated our union with friends and family *sigh*

EDIT added: The lyrics are not happy in love lyrics at all! It's a break-up song, but for us it's all about the guitar music, not lyrics.
