Please Help! My fiancee and I are struggling with what to have, (cant really agree) so could do with a few suggestions. This is my first posting on here so please be gentle.
Thanks
My precious love, Lenny Kravitz.
We're still together 8 years later and I love her to bits. It's a shit song though.
Ours was -Songs of Love by divine Comedy - a.k.a. theme music of Father Ted
This was ours.
My friends choice was excellent. It was this. 😀
ours was wonderful tonight by eric clapton
fantastic.. just made me have the biggest smile 😀
We had a live 6 piece swing band for our evening entertainment - and this was our first song 🙂
[color=blue]We had this (or at least the slightly shorter Radio Edit) - not really your usual wedding fare though I guess?
(Can't find the official video on YouTube)

MESSAGE!
slow bit at the start for you an the mrs, then the congregation join in the dancing as the chorus kicks in 🙂
My little brother had James Brown's I Feel Good.
Something Changed by Pulp.
Followed by Baby I Love You by The Ramones, which filled the floor.
Let's Get Married by The Proclaimers followed by the dance version of Quando Quando. We also mulled over having Tony Christie's Reno as a follow up but didn't think folks would see the funny side.
Snow patrol chasing cars then boom, straight into queen don't stop me now !
How Sweet It Is, James Taylor version.
We learnt an Argentinian Tango (4 steps essentially, repeated)Suprised everyone and we had to practice quite a bit to get it looking good.
Then had a ceilidh. Had to audition the band as living in Englandshire there are a few ropey ones though.
It's great as gets everyone up and dancing though prob only really works if you have some scottish connection and a reasonable proportion of the guests can do the dances.
we skipped the dance/disco/party evening thing.
much more relaxing just to let everyone chill out & drink at their own pace
although bruk, I like your style 🙂
second choice song was this
True Companion - Marc Cohn
A more fitting set of words I couldn't imagine...
We ain't married but if we were we would use this.
But this is the best I have heard of!
Friends had 'The lovecats' by the cure, thought it was really nice

make me feel so young[/url]
We had this:
Brilliant song, and very apt lyrics.. but we didn't really think about how to dance to it so it was a bit more awkward shuffling.
I had other things on my mind though, I may even have got something in my eye 😉
Dave
Smack my Bitch Up - Proidgy
No, actually it was Van Morrison - Have I told you lately...
[url=www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwoM5fLITfk]I got 99 problems but ......[/url]
😆
nobody does it better - carly simon
We had ella and Louis, let's call the whole thing off.
Secret Garden by The Boss followed by All Night Long by Lionel RichTea to get everyone dancing.
Actually, reading that back it looks as though we've been married twenty years. It was last year. 😳
Have I told you lately - Van the man, followed by Come What May from Moulin Rouge. Was q close run thing though between that and Question of Lust - Depeche Mode. Seven years this year! Good luck to you both!
Crazy Love - Van Morrison
Van the Man here as well.
"Jesus Built My Hotrod" by Ministry
Eels, "My beloved monster"
OR
Taj Mahal "Lovin' in my Baby's eyes"
Stereophonics - step on my old size nines
"Stand by me" it's a great song and full of meaning, but most importantly, it was only 2:30min long!
Elbow - on a day like this
What Are You Doing The Rest Of Your Life. Beautifully sung by the lady jazz singer we booked..
Madness - "Must be love"
Shed Seven - Chasing Rainbows.
Miss Jones (1930's Rogers and Hart jazz classic ruined by Robbie Williams on"Swing while you're winning").
We did a quickstep after a few lessons - let's face the music and dance (ie "there may be trouble ahead...") Honestly don't think my wife saw the joke at all
Some more ideas for you ... 🙂
The first time ever I saw your face
