Never heard of anyone having our song - "I'd Die Without You" by PM Dawn. It was "our" song for a very long time while we were dating.





I loooooooooove that song!

Re: Spinoff to wedding songs... Who think they had a unique wedding song that you don't normally hear...

My was a poplalur song, but not played at weddings. I could be wrong. Best Thing That Ever Happened To Me by Gladys Knight & The Pips

I've had my share of life's ups and downs
But fate's been kind, the downs have been few
I guess you could say that I've been lucky
Well, I guess you could say that it's all because of you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Ooo, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Ah, you're the best thing that ever happened to me

Oh, there have been times when times were hard
But always somehow I made it, I made it through
'Cause for every moment that I've spent hurting
There was a moment that I spent, ah, just loving you

If anyone should ever write my life story
For whatever reason there might be
Oh, you'll be there between each line of pain and glory
'Cause you're the best thing that ever happened to me
Oh, you're the best thing that ever happened to me
I know, you're the best thing, oh, that ever happened to me

Ours was blue October - calling you. Unless you are a fan of the band, you probably haven't heard it.

It totally fits us.




I love Blue October!!

Mine was Heaven by Bryan Adams. Not too unique but we liked the lyrics.



Ours too!

We had our first kiss to that song.

Come What May from Moulin Rouge soundtrack.... unless you've seen the movie, you've never heard it so I think it's pretty unique.

DH and I picked it for it meaning- that no matter what happens we will love each other.




We used it too. Besides the two on here, I know of nobody who has used it. The first line "Never knew love could feel like this..." drew me in and we too chose it for the meaning. One of my friends came up to us afterwards and was like that is the best wedding song ever and that she never would have thought of it herself (she may have had too much champagne though

Plus, DH and I are huge Baz Luhrman fans!

Re: Spinoff to wedding songs... Who think they had a unique wedding song that you don't normally hear...

I don't think our song is popular as a wedding song at all, especially since it's not a single off their album so I guess only those who would have the album would know it.

The song is Walking After You by Foo Fighters.

ETA Lyrics:

Tonight I'm tangled in my blanket of clouds
Dreaming aloud
Things just won't do without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you'd accept surrender, I'll give up some more
Weren't you adored
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two, I'm on your back
I cannot be without you, matter of fact
I'm on your back, I'm on your back, I'm on your back
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
If you walk out on me, I'm walking after you
Another heart is cracked in two,
I'm on your back

Mine isnt uncommon or unique, its a pretty well known song... but i dont know anyone else personally that used it... there were 2 other people on the other thread that list it as theirs... and when i was planning my wedding on LIW i dont remember anyone else using that song....

it wasnt a song we just randomly picked, it actually was one of "our" songs...



Into The Mystic - Van Morrison

We were born before the wind
Also younger than the sun
Ere the bonnie boat was won as we sailed into the mystic
Hark, now hear the sailors cry
Smell the sea and feel the sky
Let your soul and spirit fly into the mystic

And when that fog horn blows I will be coming home
And when the fog horn blows I want to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And magnificently we will flow into the mystic

When that fog horn blows you know I will be coming home
And when that fog horn whistle blows I got to hear it
I don't have to fear it

And I want to rock your gypsy soul
Just like way back in the days of old
And together we will flow into the mystic
Come on girl...

Too late to stop now...




That was our wedding song!



I wanted to use that song but The Wallflowers version but DH didn't like it. Chat Icon

Calico Skies by Paul McCartney. We had never even heard of the song until like a week before our wedding! It was crunch time and we couldn't agree, but I found it during our search and we were both instantly sold! I was able to get "for the rest of my life..." engraved in my husband's ring as well.


It was written that I would love you
From the moment I opened my eyes
And the morning when I first saw you
Gave me life under calico skies.

I will hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life

Always looking for ways to love you
Never failing to fight at your side
While the angels of love protect us
From the innermost secrets we hide
I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life

Long live all of us crazy soldiers
Who were born under calico skies
May we never be called to handle
All the weapons of war we despise

I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll hold you for the rest of my life
I'll hold you for as long as you like
I'll love you for the rest of my...
For the rest of my life



OMG I wanted that song too! But again, DH wouldn't agree. Chat Icon

It is such a beautiful song! I first heard it at the McCartney concert at Citifield about 2 months before our wedding.

Ours was Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog. Totally us and a waltz, but the DJ was very concerned and confused... Thought it was unique, but have heard of a few people using it since....

Fields of Gold, the Sting song, sung by Eva Cassidy.

I think that's pretty unique... I've never heard of anyone using the song when it was sung by Sting, let alone Eva Chat Icon



That exact version is in my wedding video! It's a beautiful song.

I had a very common song, but a very uncommon version... we danced to a beautiful version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Ingrid Michaelson. I have never heard it any place except for my wedding and my iPod!!

Re: Spinoff to wedding songs... Who think they had a unique wedding song that you don't normally hear...

Thats all - by Ricky Nelson.( we actually hear it in Adam Sandlers the wedding singer - sung at the Barmitzvah scene with Drew Barrymore) and decided we wanted it.



I can only give you love that lasts forever,
And a promise to be near each time you call.
And the only heart I own
For you and you alone
That's all,
That's all...

I can only give you country walks in springtime
And a hand to hold when leaves begin to fall;
And a love whose burning light
Will warm the winter's night
That's all,
That's all.

There are those I am sure who have told you,
They would give you the world for a toy.
All I have are these arms to enfold you,
And a love even time can't destroy.

If you're wondering what I'm asking in return, dear,
You'll be glad to know that my demands are small.
Say it's me that you'll adore,
For now and evermore
That's all,
That's all.

Mine was not, but a friend used "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green and it was awesome.



This was our song while dating but our wedding song trumped it!
