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...

Ours was Thank You by Led Zeppelin

ETA Lyrics
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
when mountains crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.

Kind woman, I give you my all, Kind woman, nothing more.

Little drops of rain whisper of the pain, tears of loves lost in the days gone by.
Our love is strong, with you there is no wrong,
together we shall go until we die. My, my, my.
Inspiration's what you are to me, inspiration, look... see.

And so today, my world it smiles, your hand in mine, we walk the miles,
Thanks to you it will be done, for you to me are the only one.
Happiness, no more be sad, happiness....I'm glad.
If the sun refused to shine, I would still be loving you.
If the mountains should crumble to the sea, there would still be you and me.

I think ours is pretty unique. I don't know anyone who used it and most people don't even know the song unless your into country!

Keeper of the Stars - Tracy Byrd

It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew
Now I just can't believe you're in my life
Heaven's smilin' down on me
As I look at you tonight

I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars

Soft moonlight on your face oh how you shine
It takes my breath away
Just to look into your eyes
I know I don't deserve a treasure like you
There really are no words
To show my gratitude

So I tip my hat to the keeper of the stars
He sure knew what he was doin'
When he joined these two hearts
I hold everything
When I hold you in my arms
I've got all I'll ever need
Thanks to the keeper of the stars

It was no accident me finding you
Someone had a hand in it
Long before we ever knew

I think ours was pretty unique. It was: That's How Strong My Love Is by Otis Redding. Apparently, it was pretty sexy too because we had some people (incl. my mom Chat Icon) who yelled out "get a room" as we were dancing to it.

DH suggested that for us, but I wasn't too familiar with it & before I got a chance to listen to it, we found soemthing else. We were in the car on the way home from a really bad band showcase, and were listening to an Allison Krauss album he had just bought & as soon as we heard " When you Say Nothing at All", we were were done.

I had never heard it before, so I thought it was pretty unique, and our band had to learn it, but I know a few people on LIW/LIF have used it, or the other version that was in some movie I have never seen.

If we had a DJ, and not a band we would have used either Be Mine or At My Most Beautiful both by R.E.M, but we didn't think we didn't want to use a wedding band cover version.

At Last by Etta James. When we got married it was unique & wasn't one you'd normally hear. I had to get a copy for the DJ. I feel like everyone has it now.

When I got married, our song was "Back at One" by Brian McKnight. It came out the year we started dating and was always "our song" so it was a no brainer when choosing our wedding song.

Look at me, I'm in love

Spend my nights with, share my life with

Look at me, look at me, I'm so happy

I'm saying "I do" for the rest of my life
And I think it's so nice, she's gonna be my Wife

(Look at me, I'm in love)
Look at me, can't ya see, I'm beaming all over
(Look at me, I'm in love)
Love, I'm in love

Jewel of love is in the air
And love has blossomed 'round us, it's everywhere
Oh how happy you have made me
Let's stick together till Eternity

Hey

Our first dance song was So Nice by Bebel Gilberto. We saw her perform live and she played this song.
Bebel Gilberto

Our other favorite song is Stay Forever by Ween. We've seen them countless times, and this is still my favorite song.
We danced to this at our wedding too, but we weren't "on display" as husband and wife, as we were for our first song. This song was just for us.

I really don't think most people have ever even heard our song. It's "I Could Write a Book" written by Rodgers and Hart (and originally from the Broadway show Pal Joey). We danced to the Frank Sinatra version; some may know it from the Harry Connick version (was it instrumental only?) in When Harry Met Sally. We were close friends before we started dating...

I Could Write a Book

If they asked me, I could write a book;
About the way you walk, and whisper;
And look.
I could write a preface;
On how we met;
That the world will never forget.

And the simple;
Secret of the plot;
Is just to tell them;
That I love you, a lot.
Then the world discovers;
As my book ends;
How to make two lovers of friends

I've never heard of anyone using our song, so I think it is pretty unique... Hold You In My Arms by Ray LaMontagne. Our videographer used it in our wedding video too. I love it! Chat Icon

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

And I want to rock your gypsy soul

I wanted Otis Redding's "
I've Been Loving You Too Long"

DH wanted Andy Williams "Speak Softly Love" which is the theme from the godfather but has incredibly beautiful lyrics.



We ended up with Brian Adams "Have you ever Loved A Women" we were pretty peeved.

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

off topic, but I also LLOOVVEEE her version of Song Bird. if I ever get married again (to someone I love and not just for the money)Chat Icon I will use that version.

I also love Into the Mystic, Thank You, and A Kiss to Build A Dream On. Chat Icon

ours was By Your Side, which is a beautiful song...but we sort of came to our decision. most songs that I would consider to be "ours" arent really love/first dance songs.

I had them play "Ice Cream" by Sarah M. for dh during our dessert hour, when they brought in the BK Ice Cream Bar (we met while working at Haagen Dazs) Chat Icon

Your love is better than ice cream
better than anything else that I've tried
and your love is better than ice cream
but everyone here knows how to Cry

and it's a long way down
it's a long way down
it's a long way down to the place
where we started from

Your love is better than chocolate
better than anything else that I've tried
Oh love is better than chocolate
everyone here knows how to Fight

And it's a long way down
it's a long way down
it's a long way down to the place
where we started from...

I am actually happy with the way it turned out that we didn't use some of my favorite dh songs b/c they can't be tainted by anything that has or could happen to us in the future.
