[HaloAngel]

Hi everyone,
I have been totally MIA due to new house & wedding craziness.....I cannot believe that I am only 9 days away!
We are just working on final details like the seating chart & DJ song "must haves".....that''s where my fellow PSers come in!
I want to email the DJ a list of slow songs to play throughout the evening & I am having touble coming up with my favorite romantic songs! Here''s what I have so far:
Faithfully - Journey
At Last - Etta James
Somewhere over the Rainbow - Isreal K (idontknowhowtospellthislonglasname)
Lucky - Jason Mraz & Colbie Caillat

Please leave me your suggestions!
Thank you

What era/music style do you like?
Here are some of the "typicals"

Unchained Melody -
Wonderful Tonight - Eric Clapton
You''re the Inspiration -- Chicago
When I Fall in Love -- Nat King Cole
Live for Loving You -- Gloria Estefan
In Your Eyes -- Peter Gabriel
Rod Stewart-- Have I Told You Lately?
U2-- All I Want is You
Shania Twain-- From This Moment On
Have I Told You Lately that I Love You - Van Morrison or other version

What A Wonderful World- Louis Armstrong
Moonlight Serenade- Glenn Miller (there''s also a Frank Sinatra version)

a list of ''wedding'' songs

These might not all qualify as "slow," but here are some of my personal favorites:

"It Had to Be You" -- Harry Connick, Jr. (this might be our first dance song!)
"Better Together" -- Jack Johnson
"Dream a Little Dream of Me" -- I like the duet by Ella Fitzgerald and Louis Armstrong
"Dancing Cheek to Cheek" -- also love the duet by Ella and Louis
"Our Love Is Here to Stay" -- Harry Connick, Jr.
"La Vie en Rose" -- Edith Piaf
"Only Have Eyes for You" -- Billie Holliday
"Ballad for My One True Love" -- Mason Jennings (if you have not heard this, please listen to it!)
"Can''t Help Falling in Love" -- Michael Buble

Funny story: I was at a wedding recently where the DJ played Kanye West''s "Golddigger." It made things awkward, to put it mildly, especially since the groom was a successful lawyer and the bride did not have a job. Don''t forget to put that on your "do not play" list

LOL Kittybean! We definitely have a "Do not play list"...and we also said to feel free to not play any terrible requests from guests....and we limited the amount of "group" dances we will allow (lol, I don''t want the chicken dance, the macarena, the hustle, etc allllll to be played!)

Thank you all for the suggestions so far! I have a few more to add to our list:
"Blackbird" - Beatles
"Feels like home" - Chantal Kreviazuk
"Finally Forever" - Chris Cornell
"By your side" - Sade

Does that help with getting a feel for our taste in music? Keep the suggestions coming!

 

[Squirrly]

i suppose if you''re doing Blackbird you won''t be doing Something by the Beatles? i''m a little sad i forgot about Something, but i suppose better late than never

This has been one of my favourite things since getting engaged.. finding beautiful songs for important moments on our day

So far my favourite is Everything- Lifehouse

I can''t forget Lovely Tonight and Today by Joshua Radin.. they are both lovely.

Hmmm...I personally love The Luckiest by Ben Folds and Halo by Beyonce.

I am not a bride to be but I am in love with the song "Memories are made of this" by Dean Martin.
