Non-cheesy wedding music (Page 2)

This is a great song. Don't be confused by the title - it really is perfect for a wedding. I'll send the mp3 to you if you like.

Wedding Song, by Tracy Chapman 

I’ve been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me

For you I don the veil
By your light
Others pale by comparison
I place my faith in love
My fate in this communication

I’ve been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me

To you I give my pledge
I honor all that’s good
In this life we’re living
To think not only of myself
But of the greater union

Can I get a witness
There is salvation and rapture for the lonely
Can I get a witness
Bless this day sacred and holy
Sacred and holy

I’ve been having dreams and visions
In them you are always standing
Right beside me
I reach out for your hand
To see your arms extending
Outstretched towards me

With you I am revealed
All my shame all my faults and virtues
Behold body mind and spirit
Heart and soul devoted all to you

Can I get a witness
Bless this day sacred and holy
Sacred and holy

LOL! Yeah, mine is a case not of having found some one to put up with me 'at last'. It's more like 'so soon?'. NOT that I'm complaining.

Sent to your hotmail (the old one I had).

Let me know if I win! I mean... if you're gonna use it at the wedding.

Great suggestion! That's such a cute song!

Carrie Newcomer's Silver is similar to When I'm 64--

try it.  

I am becoming a justice of the peace this summer bc my brother and his future wife have asked me to perform the ceremony (yikes!) and this is a song they might use. 

Oh...hey...how about "We're Going to be Friends", by the WHite Stripes. Simple, sweet and anyone can play it on guitar (even me):

 Fall is here,hear the yell
back to school,ring the bell
brand new shoes,walking blues
climb the fence,books and pens
I can tell that we're going to be friends

Walk with me,Suzy Lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
then safely walk to school
without a sound

Well here we are,no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers,letters,learn to spell
nouns,and books,and show and tell
at playtime we will throw the ball
back to class,through the hall
teacher marks our height
against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while I'm in bed
when silly thoughts go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
and when I wake tommorow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
cause I can tell that we're going to be friends

"What a Wonderful World" by Louis (Sachmo) Armsrong would be a perfect song to end the evening with.

As for Pachelbel's Cannon in "D" having been played too much, I say "so what", it is still a brilliant piece of music. 

Israel Kabbbbblaaaaaaablaaaaaaa what's his name has a great version of Wonderful World/Somewhere over the Rainbow that was a friend of mine's first dance song-- I cried my eyes out:

LOL! I'll put that on the list right next to Iron Butterfly.

I don't think that would be prudent at my wedding. I'd probably try to seduce him.

You're getting hitched as well? Cool. June 24th is our wedding day, although we're already legally married. Well, at least there's a lot of really great classical and religious music out there!
