Help with Wedding songs

[lennet93]

Our first dance was to "If I ain't got you" by Alicia Keys...I still can't hear that song without tearing up...DH gets all teary eyed when he hears it too..

 

[Reslnt1]

What is that song they played at Toni Childs (Girlfriends) wedding. Something about "have I found my soul mate?"

I tried to find this song and could not find it anywhere

 

[Belle Du Jour]

"Feels Like Home to Me" by Chantal K

 

[Shell4624]

Ribbon in the Sky by Stevie Wonder
Back at One by Brian McKnight
Greatest Love by Musiq Soulchild

 

[Laginappe]

My iPod reminded me of another one. “I’m Gon’ Be Ready” by Yolanda Adams.

It’s a little unusual because she’s not specifically speaking about marriage, but she’s talking to God about His plans for her life. And I don’t know why but the first time I ever heard this song I thought about how beautiful it would be for a wedding. The song itself is pretty even without the lyrics.

I say a prayer every night, whatever I do, I'll get it right
With no regret, no guilt or shame this time, no not this time
Once I surrender, I won't dare look back, cause if I do, I'll get off track
Move ahead in faith, and patiently await your answer,
What will it be?

[Chorus:]
Sight beyond what I see
You know what's best for me
Prepare my mind, prepare my heart
For whatever comes, I'm gone' be ready

Strength to pass any test
I feel like I'm so blessed
With you in control, I can't go wrong
'Cause I always know, I'm gonna be ready…

No offense to anyone, but "Ribbon in the Sky" and "At Last" have been done a billion times. There are SO many songs out there that can be more personal and unique to you as a couple. One of the songs I like is "Look at Me, I'm in Love" by The Moments. Another good one is "So Much In Love" by the Flamingos, or if you want an updated version All 4 One. Hope your day is a special one!

You will probably get a million suggestions for this song, but my DH and I danced to Etta James singing "At Last." It wasn't the same ole, same ole for us. The song's lyrics hold special meaning and the discovery of the song was special as well but I digress, I don't want to hijack your thread!

HTH

At last
my love has come along
my lonely days over
and life is like a song

Ooh At last
the skies above are blue
well my heart was wrapped up in clover
the night I looked at you

I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known

well

You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last

I found a dream
that I could speak to
a dream that I
could call my own
I found a thrill
to press my cheek to
a thrill that I have never known

well

You smile
you smile
oh and then the spell was cast
and here we are in heaven
for you are mine at last

ooo yea
you are mine

you are mine
at last
at last
at last
at last


There wasn't a dry eye in the place when we finished dancing. (at least from our close family and friends, they all knew the back story)

I love this song and I would definitely use this as the "first dance". The words are so incredible!

FH & I decided to use this song for our first dance: "After All Is Said And Done", by Marc Nelson & Beyonce. It's on "The Best Man" Soundtrack, and was the song that was played when Morris Chestnut and Monica Calhoun were getting married.

"After All Is Said And Done"

[Beyonce]

Here I am, looking in the mirror
An open face, the pain erased
And now the sky is clearer
I can see the sun
Now that all, all is said and done, oh

[Marc]

There you are
Always strong when I need you
You let me give
And now I live, fearless and protected
With the one I will love
After all is, all is said and done

[Beyonce (Marc)]

I once believe that hearts were made to bleed
(Inside I once believed that hearts were made to bleed, oh baby)
But now I'm not afraid to say

[Beyonce & Marc]

I need you, I need you so stay with me

[Beyonce (Marc)]

These precious (precious) hours (yeah)
Spend each hour in open arms
And dream into, into tomorrow

[Beyonce & Marc]

Where there's only love
After all is, all is said and done

[Beyonce (Marc)]

(Yeah baby) Oh baby
(Inside I once believed, that hearts were meant to bleed)

[Beyone & Marc]

I'll never be afraid to say I need you, I need you, so here

[Beyonce]

So here we are in the still of the moment
Fear is gone, hope lives on

[Beyone & Marc]

We found our happy ending
For there's only love
And this sweet, sweet love
After all is, all is said and done

[Marc (Beyonce)]

Yeah baby after all is (all is)

[Marc & Beyonce]

All is said and done.
