Wedding songs

grapfruit wrote: Ok, I'm trying to decide "wedding songs" I figured I'd let Tim pick "our" song. If he doesn't want to then I think it'll be Eric Clapton "Wonderful Tonight", which is what I *think* he'll pick anyway.

*Our song (first song?): Eric Clapton - Wonderful Tonight or Matthew West - You Are Everything

*Dad Dance - Stephen Curtis Chapman - Cinderella (this is on recommendation from my brother. While I REALLY like the song, I don't think it's appropriate for my dad and my relationship, so I'm still really up in the air)

*Mom Dance (b/c my mom is just like that) - James Taylor - Sweet Baby James

Are there others I need to pick???

What'd YOU have for your wedding???

Danalana replied: We had "I Will be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman, "If You Could See What I See" by Geoff Moore and the Distance (you should definitely listen to that one), and "When God Made You (He must have been thinking about me)", by Selah. Gosh, I love those songs! That Matthew West song is a good one too

grapfruit replied: Thanks Dana! I'll download them all and listen!

Danalana replied: Here's the lyrics to "If You Could See What I Could See"

all of my life
i have dreamed
that somehow love would find me
now i can't believe you're standing here

If beauty is all
in the eye
of the beholder then i
wish you could see
the love for you that lives in me

(Chorus)
And you would know you have my heart
If you could see, what i see
that a treasure's what you are
if you could see, what i see
Created to be
the only one for me
If you could see, what i see

I know there are days
when you feel
so much less than ideal
wondering what i see in you

It's all of the light
and the grace
your belief in me drives me to say
that i promise you
a faithful love, forever true

(Chorus)

if you could see
then you'd understand
why i fall down to my knees
and i pray my love
will be worthy of
the one who gave his life
so our love could be

if you could see
what i see(x2)

You're created to be
The perfect one for me
If you could see
What i see

if beauty is all
in the eye
of the beholder then i
am beholding...
true beauty

grapfruit replied: Oh wow, totally need to listen to that one!

Danalana replied:
Yeah, I'm crying just remembering it!

I guess I just like a little edgier wedding songs...

mckayleesmom replied: Making memories of Us....by Keith Urban

msoulz replied: OK, remembering this was 16 years ago, my favorite song from our wedding was All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera. My SIL and her brother sang it for us and they were AMAZING. Of course, my name not being Christine, that was left out!


No more talk
of darkness,
Forget these
wide-eyed fears.
I'm here,
nothing can harm you -
my words will
warm and calm you.
Let me be
your freedom,
let daylight
dry -your tears.
I'm here,
with you, beside you,
to guard you
and to guide you . . .

Say you love me
every
waking moment,
turn my head
with talk of summertime . . .
Say you need me
with you,
now and always . . .
promise me that all
you say is true -
that's all I ask
of you . . .

Let me be
your shelter,
let me
be your light.
You're safe:
No-one will find you
your fears are
far behind you . . .

All I want
is freedom,
a world with
no more night . . .
and you
always beside me
to hold me
and to hide me . . .

Then say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
Iet me lead you
from your solitude . . .
Say you need me
with you
here, beside you . . .
anywhere you go,
let me go too -
Christine,
that's all I ask
of you . . .

Say you'll share with
me one
love, one lifetime . . .
say the word
and I will follow you . . .
BOTH
Share each day with
me, each
night, each morning . . .

Say you love me . . .

You know I do . . .

Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . . .
Anywhere you go
let me go too . . .
Love me -
that's all I ask
of you . .

Danalana replied: Casey, I forgot to add that "Wonderful Tonight" is one of my favorite songs What a great idea!

Danalana replied:
Oh, how beautiful!

msoulz replied: Thank you, and if you could hear how the SIL sings it, oh can she belt it out!! She is amazing.

The other one is The Theme from Ice Castles (Through the Eyes of Love). This is the one that really made me think of DH and that day.

Please don't let this feeling end
It's everything I am
everything I want to be.
I can see what's mine now,
finding out what's true since
I found you
looking through the eyes of love.

And now, I can take the time
I can see my life
As it comes up shining now
Reaching out to touch you
I can feel so much
Since I found you
looking through the eyes of love.

And now I do believe
that even in the storm
we'll find some light
Knowing you're beside me
I'm all right.

Please don't let this feeling end
It might not come again
and I want to remember
How it feels to touch you
how I feel so much
since I found you
looking through the eyes of love.

Danalana replied: Wow, those are great choices!

lovemy2 replied: OK - this is sad - I have been married almost seven years but I have forgotten te songs we had at our wedding I mean I know the tunes, etc. but can't for the life of me remember what they are titled................................. I will have to watch my video and get back to ya

Our Lil' Family replied: Me & Dad danced to Isn't She Lovely by Stevie Wonder
We also used James Taylor's How Sweet it is to be loved by you.
I can't remember the wedding party dance...

Celestrina replied: "At Last" by Etta James. Definitely one to listen to.

TheOaf66 replied: depending on your DJ

you may want a Bridal Party song


We had "Don't wanna miss a thing" by Aerosmith as our Wedding Song

my Mom's dance was "Jesus and Mama" by Confedrate Railroad

DillsMommy replied:
I was going to suggest this song. I absolutely LOVE it. If I was ever to get married again, I would want this to be "our song"
