Hi all,
I am getting married in June and was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for songs:

1) Processional
2) Recessional
3) First Dance
4) Reception songs

Would love to hear your thoughts!!
thanks,
Hclare

p.s. We are a little punk/indie/oldies kind of crowd. Not too much on the sappy...

1) Processional -

I touch myself (The Divinyls)

Quote:
"When I think about you
I touch myself"


or

White Wedding (Billy Idol) ... sorry obvious one there ... d'oh


2) Recessional -

Baby Got Back (Sir Mix-a-Lot)

Quote:
"I like big butts and I cannot lie"

or

This Is The End (The Doors)


3) First Dance -

Jailbird (Primal Scream) ... I wish we had this as our first song instead of Spandau Ballet's "True"

Quote:
"Im yours, youre mine
Gimme more of that jailbird pie"

or

The Drugs don't work (The Verve) [friends actually had that as their first song!!!]


4) Reception songs -

Fight For Your Right (The Beatie Boys)

Quote:
"You gotta fight, for your right,
to paaaaaaaaaarty"

or

Lets Get This Party Started (Pink)

billy idle nice day for a white wedding a must for a wedding lol

south parks chef singing simutaniuos loving
im feeling good by muse good track
put your hands on reef

im now gonna add your requests ok ;-)

Congratulations by the way HClare.

I used to be involved with the music business (ten years ago) and my partner and I were developing an act at the time called Kate Tunstall (KT Tunstall) - you might have heard of her?

I got Kate to do an acoustic set for friends of mine for their wedding ... they really like The Cowboy Junkies' version of Lou Reed's "Sweet Jane" - so their first song was KT Tunstall singing and playing that on her acoustic guitar along with a cello player and a bongo player in the background. They loved it.

It was a great wedding at a secluded castle in the Scottish Borders that the Rolling Stones used to hang out in during the seventies.

I offered to get Kate to sing during the wedding (which was outside in the gardens) but they had gypsy fiddlers instead ... d'oh.

just been thinking while i added your songs to jukebox if youu want i can add 1 here for your wedding songs ideas and you can give them a listen i can add what ppl suggest and youll be able to listen while you play hows that for you sound good?

i hope that works ok without interupting the jukebox im not 100% if it does ill have to remove it and repost it from an alternate account i have with project playlist hope you enjoy. pandaflesh's and my songs are there ready ;-)

Seriously it has to be Amazed by Lone Star for the first dance. Good luck

Cool, thanks lordhood and all! Keep 'em coming!!

I like Amazed by Lonestar but my fiance would never ever allow that one ;-)

We had Love lifts us up where we belong by Joe Cocker and Jennifer warnes. Should have had run away

Now I think it would be If I could turn back time by cher

Joking - have a great day and a happy future

sure is easier to think of inappropriate lyrics for the occasion...Still Haven't FOund What I'm Looking For probably not a good one

Panda's suggestions were hilarious

will the ceremony be in a church or outside or where? (bagpipes vs organ vs polkaband vs guitar for the processional) ..lots of beautiful classical stuff I can suggest if you are interested in that for processional...or choose some indy tune you both find meaningful and get an organist or classical guitarist to do a version...

i like 70's funk so Cut the Cake might be something for the reception...

I'm thinking "I Wanna Grow Old With You" from the wedding singer.

I'm thinking "I Wanna Grow Old With You" from the wedding singer.

Sweeeeet.

The ceremony will be indoors. The Secret Society Ballroom - it's very cool, kind of gothicy.

Not so much into the classical, but that may be the way to go.

i was in a function band for a while wihtout fail lonestar amazed and also extreme more than words were requested for every wedding.

p.s-i despise kt tunstall!!

all of the above has been added if you have any songs offered not from the site hclare add them here ill add them for you aswell then you and your future hubby can go through and make your minds up you could also use a laptop and speakers make your wedding songs list on project playlist and save your self some money instead of hirering a dj/band for your big day. all the best and congrats n good luck

Congrats Hclare, found the pefect song for your 3rd choice, its Anne Murray - Could I Have This Dance

hey Lordhood, don't forget to add the suggested song above, thanks

am getting married in June and was wondering if anyone here had any suggestions for songs


Hi Hclare - have you decided on the songs for your wedding yet?

Lmao panda.. u took mine..

Baby got back... sir mix alot

First dance ..When you tell me that you love me ....Diana Ross

I had this song as my first dance and boy how true it turned out to be.

Chris Rea-The Road To Hell.

First dance? Bon Jovi- Always, surely no other alternative apart from maybe another level-let me lick you up and down

oh and btw in my youth I was in a locally famous band called 'the plops' and our ballad 'plop the nation' was a favourite at novelty animal weddings..
