Lol I made the CD for our wedding right before the ceremony and my brother raced it to the venue about 10 mins before we left, so I was not very organised!!! But I walked in to Amazed by Lonestar. ------------- Lisa mummy to Ryan http://www.alterna-tickers.com">

A friend of mine walked down the aisle to "From this moment" by Shania Twain, which while I'm not a fan of Shania's, it was a gorgeous song.

I love that song KA
Mine doesn't help much, as it was all traditional (church wedding), but one of my best friends sang "At Your Side" by The Corrs during the signing of the register. My BIL and SIL had a country and western themed wedding (spit roast for dinner, and we all sat on hay bales), and she walked down the 'aisle' to "Breathe" by Faith Hill and they walked back out again to the theme music to "Bonanza" 
Friends had "It Had To Be You" (Harry Connick Jnr) and "Better Together" (Jack Johnson) - and "Happy To Be Stuck With You" for their first dance -------------

I walked down the aisle to This Years Love - David Grey. We signed the register to Come Away With Me and The Nearness of You - Norah Jones. We had our first dance to Drive - Incubus. Oh, Kelly! You're going to have a FABULOUS day! I would re-live my wedding day over and over, if I could -------------

weegee-Bonanza theme..awesome! great someone has heard of Katie Melua!..DH got so much jib for picking a song with a title like that but he loved this part:
There are nine million bicycles in Beijing That's a fact, It's a thing we can't deny Like the fact that I will love you till I die. We are twelve billion light years from the edge, That's a guess, No-one can ever say it's true But I know that I will always be with you. and he's not normally romantic!!:) anyway so best wishes for the weekend Kelly!:) ------------- Mum to two amazing boys! |

I had shania's from this moment down the isle. I tried not to, but it summed it up perfectly. Looks like we made it (Also Shania) for register signing, (by gee I mucked that up! Then I swore - loudly - at a Christian church wedding, go me!) And I'm walking on sunshine for the other way.
I like Jack Johnson's Better Together. That would have been cool. -------------  http://lilypie.com"> |

I walked down the aisle to Pachelbel's Canon (talk about organised I knew I was walking down the aisle to it since the first time I heard it, I was about 12yo, I told DH about it and so he bought a cd with Canon on it and played it in the background when he proposed to me). When we were pronounced man and wife "Morning has Broken" started playing (I have a really talented friend who played the Cat Stevens version on the piano) and we signed the register to Ave Maria played on the organ by a different friend and sung beautifully by another friend. We had a bagpiper play as we left the church and again when we entered the reception venue later in the day. -------------

My sisters wedding was cool I can't remember the song she walk down the isle to (it was actually a garden) but after the ceremony as they were leaving they played Sugar pie Honey bunch by the Temptations. Its was very cute and memorable. It put a light spin on something serious. -------------

Can't see what your first dance song is Kelly!
I always thought I'd like to walk down the aisle to 'Lets stay together' by Al Green, and my ex-dp and I both thought 'Lets get it on' by Marvin Gaye would be our first dance. |

our first dance song was meant to be Lets Stay Together by Al Green... DJ had a little problem LOL - only hick up for the whole day so we just danced away to a song that i cant even remember..
One of my BM clicked on and asked the DJ to play it for our last song of the night so that was nice  ------------- http://lb2f.lilypie.com/TikiPic.php/RPaODBg.jpg |

I walked down the aisle to "Have I told you lately?" by Van Morrison but it was sung by a friend of the family. I can't remember what songs played while we signed the register, my parents organised it with the friend.
Our first dance was to "(I've had) the time of my life" from the Dirty Dancing movie ------------- Lindsey

I walked down the aisle to "can't help falling in love" by Elvis.
We walked back down the aisle to "counting the beat" by the swingers, only cos i like these lyrics: Thinking about just you and me, la da de de, there ain't no place I'd rather be La da de da, la da de da, la da de da, la da de da... and so on. And our first dance was "Wonderful World" by Louis Armstrong. ------------- http://lilypie.com">  http://lilypie.com">

I walked down the aisle to Coldplays "fix you". Made my grand entrance as it says "lights will guide you...." Makes me cry every time I hear it.
We walked back down to "Beautiful Day" U2. (DH's pick) My friend sung during the signing of the register - "I'll be" by edwin mccain. Sounded beautiful with just her voice and the guitar. Our first dance was "You give me something" James Morrison. ------------- Mummy to two beauties... Formerly Kaiz. |

Oooh I loved this part of wedding preparations!!
I walked to Ben Harper "beloved one' 'My beloved one, my beloved one Your eyes shine through me You are so divine to me Your heart has a home in mine We won't have to say a word With a touch all shall be heard When I search my heart it's you I find My beloved one, my beloved one, my beloved one You were meant for me, I believe you were sent to me from a dream straight into to my heart Hold your body close to me You mean the most to me We will keep each other safe from harm My beloved one, my beloved one, my beloved one' Gone all goosebumpy now - that was nearly 5 years ago and I love that song. -------------

ETA: I must be stalking this thread but it bugged me too much so had to watch (and fast forward) wedding dvd to find out what it was and its http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BgxkYOxE9w&feature=related - Give Me Forever (I Do) by James Ingram And actually it has lovely lyrics... Our Wedding Song and first dance http://www.ilike.com/artist/Van+Morrison/track/Someone+Like+You - Someone like you by Van the man (Van Morrison) I do like a westlife song and if I can find the cover I shall let you know it (its not one of their popular ones - but it depends if you are into Westlife and your DH doesn't mind - my DH didn't want westlife) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0BgxkYOxE9w&feature=related - Give Me Forever (I Do) ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I walked down the aisle to Westlife - Unbreakable, really pretty song. We signed the register to Ronan Keating songs.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bnUhFlxsDhw - Thats where you find love by westlife Lyrics: "That's Where You Find Love" In your eyes, I found the greatest prize You and I could not be closer And in your arms, is everything I want Now I know my search is over And I don't know where you take me But it's exactly where I wanna be [Chorus:] It's where the stars line up It's where the ocean's touch It's in a place you've never been that feels like home It's in the air right now It's when you give your all, and give a little more I've never been so sure, that's where you find love People pass, and listen to us laugh Wishing that they had the same thing And our friends they ask, how we made it last I just smile and say the same thing I'm not sure how we got here Baby I'm just glad that we got here [Chorus:] It's where the stars line up It's where the ocean's touch It's in a place you've never been that feels like home It's in the air right now It's when you give your all, and give a little more I've never been so sure, that's where you find love That's where you find love It's where the stars line up It's where the ocean's touch It's in a place you've never been that feels like home It's in the air right now It's when you give your all, and give a little more I've never been this sure, that's where you find love Find love That's where you find love ------------- http://lilypie.com">

I cant even remember the song we walked into It was a really pretty musical piece which still send shivers down my spine (good shivers!)
We also had Brooke Fraser's Without You. Her songs were so popular when we got married, we had to keep changing it as we would go to friends weddings and they would have the song we planned on having. Our wedding was a bit of a rushed job and music was one of the things that was left to the very last minute, I loved the songs we had but wondered if we could have found songs with more meaning to us. -------------

We had http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1g3YN8qIifM - You Take My Breath Away by Eva Cassidy for walking in. It fit so nicely with the spacing - one sister walked in at the start of verse 1, then the second at verse 2, then me at chorus, and reached the front of the church right at the musical bit before verse 3.
Signed the register to Uncle Sam's http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PR0bIvPGsUc - When I See You Smile and had a slide show of pics from us growing up. I knew I wanted this song since I was in my teens and heard it on the Touched By an Angel Soundtrack that my mum had. Walked out again to Counting Crows Accidentally in Love, it just seemed to fit
Didn't have a first dance (had no dancing at all, afternoon tea reception and a BBQ at mum & dad's afterwards). |

Before I arrived we had an instrumental drums/violins by The Corrs. I also walked down the aisle to The Corrs (a violin instrumental).
Brooke Fraser for signing the register. Nothing Else Matters - Metallica for when we were announced Husbo and Wife. Our first dance was The Eagles (can't remember the song) and then we had another Brooke Fraser one (can't remember the name either).... Staind have a beautiful song that would be perfect for a wedding and if I ever divorce husbo and marry him again I want this song. It's from their latest album. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=58ohuUw1lBg&feature=related - Staind You’re my world You’re my shelter from the rain You’re the pills That takes away my pain You’re the sun That shines upon my face You’re the thing That I won’t compromise In a world where nothing else is true Here I am still Tangled Up In You Up in you You’re the fire That warms me when I’m cold You’re the hand To hold as I grow old You’re the light That’s still showing me the way [ Tangled Up In You lyrics from http://www.lyricsyoulove.com/ ] This is my time for me to say In a world where nothing else is true Here I am still tangled up in you You’re the pills That takes away my pain Without you Life wouldn’t be the same In this world where nothing else is true Here I am still tangled up in you Up in you I’m still tangled up in you I’m still tangled up in you ------------- Mr Mellow (16) Miss Attitude (8) Destructa Kid (3)
