Master  1668     Cinnaminson, NJ |  Subject: Help me pick my wedding songhelp me pick a wedding song. We can't pick one so maybe you guys can help us decide. We like them all but just can't pick one. Sade -- By Your Side Chantal Kreviazuk -- Feels like Home Lauren Wood -- Fallen Sting -- My one and only Love i didn't make these videos just using them so you can hear the song |

| Champion 5615 | Subject: RE: Help me pick my wedding song I would recommend using the Imperial March from Star Wars for the walk down the aisle. For a wedding song, go with something classic. You don't want to end up like a lot of people in the 80s going 'Why the hell did we pick Rick Astley for our wedding?' |

| Champion 6742 The Green Between Philadelphia and Pittsburgh | Subject: RE: Help me pick my wedding song Maybe something with a long music intro with a lot of drums or sounds like they are stomping and maybe even some mandolin (or it should at least sound like it) with the the music having a Spanish feel to it... I can't think of a specific name for the song or the artist but I hope that helps.

| Buttercup 14334 | Subject: RE: Help me pick my wedding song Ok, I read the lyrics for all the songs and I voted for Sting's song. I liked these lines: You fill my eager heart with The other songs, while romantic, speak too much of being in darkness or lost and relying on the other to bring light/rescue. It's romantic to think of your other as your savior/rescuer but at least Sting gets it right by saying that joining to another person is more of a surrender than a rescue - though it emphasizes desire/passion and that ain't what's gonna get you through the tough spots. However, I think Tracy Chapman has a great song for the occassion, called Wedding Song. Don't let the title fool you. I've been having dreams and visions Edited by Renee 2007-08-22 10:49 AM |

| Expert 773 Alexandria, NH | Subject: RE: Help me pick my wedding song Here's a good one... my best man got married in the islands and apparently the video guys "no speak such good English" and when he slapped in the DVD they are running down the beach and up comes the super romantic "With or Without You" by U2. Well it sounded nice anyway. |

| Champion 11641 Fairport, NY | Subject: RE: Help me pick my wedding song Well there's that song that starts with some drums and an acoustic guitar. No wait, it was a piano. I think... The song is from the mid-90's... or maybe early 70's, I'm not sure. And it wasn't really on the radio much but it was on that mix tape my friend Bill made for me. Or maybe it was the mix tape Rita gave me... Anyway, you know the song I mean. You should use that one.

| Extreme Veteran 832 Podunk County, MN | Subject: RE: Help me pick my wedding song The most romantic lyrics I can think of right now... of course it might have something to do with living in the frigid North. The last line gets me every time. Winter's Song, by the Cowboy Junkies She says, 'it's cold where you brought me' He says, 'Darling, don't worry you can stay in my arms until the springtime comes We'll let the snow drift around us and wait for the robin and the crocus to tell us that our love has again found the sun' Lone oak stands tall, bare arms scratch the sky, dry leaves cracking beneath our feet Hand in hand we've watched the autumn fires burn - Summer's dreams collapsing, chestnuts in need of gathering, the whole world lies rotting in the street Soon we will walk with collars high like ramparts raised for the siege We'll bow to her beauty, cower from her fury sent as a judgement for a slight long past forgotten Winter's love once again unrequited Winter's love once again unrequited She says, 'Babe are you sleeping?' He says, 'No, wide awake and thinking of a dream I just had about the two of us He takes his hand to her cheek now, his lips to her brow, their whispers pile softly by the foot of the bed Or another one by them: Hold On To Me If you offered me a shade of blue would I return it saying that it was too dark or light? Or would I see it for the precious thing that it might one day be? Hold on to me If you offered me a point of view would I dismiss it saying that it was too black and white? Or would I see it as the special thing That it would no doubt be? Hold on to me I'll hold on to this gift we share it is as slippery as it is rare I'll hold on to that feeling of waking and finding you there I'll hold on to you and you hold on to me If I asked you for a simple thing Would you do it without too much thinking or fuss? Would you see it for the precious thing that it would surely be? Hold on to me Or even better... Anniversary Song Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful as that of the rain-soaked purple of the white birch in spring? Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful than on a warm fall night under a Mackerel sky, the smell of grapes on the wind? Well I have known all these things and the joys that they can bring And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee and to wear your ring Have you ever had the pleasure of watching a quiet winter's snow slowly gathering like simple moments adding up? Have you ever satisfied a gut feeling to follow a dry dirt road that's beckoning you to the heart of a shimmering summer's day? Well I have known all these things and the joys that they can bring And I'll share them all for a cup of coffee and to wear your ring And I don't know how I survived those days before I held your hand Well I never thought that I would be the one to admit that the moon and the sun shine so much more brighter when seen through two pairs of eyes than when seen through just one Have you ever seen a sight as beautiful as a face in a crowd of people that lights up just for you? Have you ever felt more fresh or wonderful as when you wake by the side of that boy or girl who has pledged their love to you? Well I have known all these things and the joys that they can bring And now every morning there's a cup of coffee and I wear your ring Signing off as the unabashed romantic that I am! |

| Champion 4942 Richmond, VA | Subject: RE: Help me pick my wedding song Since no one else seems to be taking this very MAJOR decision seriously...  Here's my take: I think you have to analyze this from 2 different persepctives. The first is the gravity of the song and what it says or imparts on your wedding. I think that you need to understand the words and have a feeling that the words accurately reflect and capture the way you feel when you think of your wife / husband / life partner / or for our Southern viewers - Cousin. I think the song needs to be an audio expression of the words in your heart, only the song says it better. Now, I want you take this first persepctive. Wrap it up in a tiny little piece of paper. Jam that paper in an empty wine bottle. Place the cork on the bottle. Toss that bottle in a canister of gasoline and then toss the gasoline canister into a raging inferno. The second perspective is length of song. I've been married for almost 8 full years. I've heard my wedding song upwards of 16.4 million times since deciding on a song. That song is burned somewhere in the back of my brain. Assuming that you listen to your wedding song 1000 times over the course of your marriage and that song is 5 minutes long versus 3.5 minutes long - you have just lost 1500 minutes, approximately 25 hours that you can never get back. Therefore, I recommend you pick the Sting song which looked to be 3:30, versus the Sade which was close to 5 minutes. You're welcome.  |

| Elite 3067 Cheesehead, WI | Subject: RE: Help me pick my wedding song is this the song you guys will dance to at the reception???? If so, I recommend it have a beat and that you can in fact dance to it. Part of our song was really sort of ad libbed because it was dang hard to dance to Somewhere Over The Rainbow/What A Wonderful World by IZ (Hawaiian dude). |
