Definitely love this thread...great songs that I wouldn't have even thought of!

[HotTamale]

A must have wedding song that I think everyone should have is: First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes

[hammerb44]

Wow! This is a pretty comprehensive post. The only ones I would add that I didn's see are:

 

So Right - Dave Matthews

I melt - Rascal Flatts

 

And if you like "Your Love" by the Outfield, Katy Perry did a remake of it which is pretty cool.

[litl_april]

What an awesome thread! We're in a time crunch so this is helping a lot!

One that I love, that I know have been in a lot of wedding videos is "Better Together" by Jack Johnson.

[ashey063009]

Alrightly, so FI and I are just nailing down the fundamentals and I thought I'd share

 

Seating:

 

- "better together" Jack Johnson

- "I'm Yours" Jason Mraz

- "Is this Love" Bob Marley

- "Reggae Love Songs" Assortment found on Itunes.

 

Processional (Aisle Walk)

 

- "Canon in D" Keith Kubena (great beachy guitar version)

 

Signing of the Registry

 

- TBD

 

Recessional

 

- "All I want is You" Barry Louis-Poliser

 

First Dance

 

- "Now we are Man and Wife" Michelle Featherstone

 

Father Daughter Dance

 

- "It's my Life" Bon Jovi (acoustic version-- very important song to my dad and I, he was super excited when I found an acoustic version.)

 

Cake Cutting

 

- "Eat It" Wierd Al Yankovic

 

Garter Toss

 

- "feelin' Good" Michael Buble

 

Bouquet Toss

 

- CAN'T Remember, but my mom had a GREAT suggestion, so I will edit when I hear back from her.

[ashey063009]

Haha, oh I forgot to mention-- my family has this tradition at weddings called "The Gator." It's this hilarious dance that my dad's family made up YEARS ago, where they all get into a circle and do this whole routine with their tie's around their heads-- halfway through my dad does a back flip in the middle of it all *fingers crossed he doesn't hurt himself*

 

 

Anyway, this is always done to "White wedding" by BIlly Idol. LMAO! I can't wait!

I completely agree.. I love bright eyes and that is my favorite song!! I wanted to have that as my first dance but my FI feels it will be too sappy and will get people crying

[courtney_b00]

Great post...I am going to have to jot down some of these songs for my list....which I have not made yet.

Cartoons and Forever Plans - Maria Taylor
