We will be in touch
Me and Mrs. S enjoyed our first dance to Swimming in Your Ocean from the great album shown below.
Not sure many of our guests had ever heard the track before - but it was for us not them.
What did you lot choose for your first dance?

She Sells Sanctuary - The Cult.
The older members of our families weren't particularly appreciative. 😀
Moldy Peaches - Anyone else but you 😀
Didn't have a 'first dance' but Marriage ceremony started with "It must be love" by Madness and ended with "Shine on", a clubby track from the mid 90s that I can't remember who did.
It wasn't and we didn't...
good album that 🙂 ours was also not know by many or any lol. Will you be my rose by paal flaata
Didn't have a first dance song, but one of our friends was playing an accoustic set as we signed the register, I'd arranged for him to play "Can't take my Eyes off you" told all of our guests and asked a few of them to learn the words...
When it got to the Chorus, everybody spontaneously joined in..it was great
Roddy Woomble - I Came In From The Mountain
'What Are You Doing The Rest of Your Life', first heard it on the Alison Moyet album 'Voice'
Sung live at the reception by a great jazz singerist, just short of 4 years ago..
Heaven knows I'm miserable now 'Morissey'

IGMC 😉
"Shine on", a clubby track from the mid 90s that I can't remember who did.
Either:
The Cooks
House of Love
or Degrees of Motion
There were a few "shine ons"
I was going to start a 'recommend me a wedding song thread' for 3 weeks time.
I'll see how this pans out...
Wifey walked into the registry office to Walking on Sunshine, and we signed the register The Soul's Electric by the Oysterband.
We had a ceilidh and the first dance was a Canadian barn dance.
Nothing Else Matters by Metallica although performed with acoustic guitar live by the band we had
I think the 'Shine On' mentioned above is by Degrees of Motion.
We had Apocalyptica's version of Nothing Else Matters at the start of the ceremony and we left to Bring me Sunshine by Morecambe and Wise and Wonderful World by Joey Ramone at the end as everyone left.
We didn't have a first dance. We didn't have a dance at all, just a pub and some background music (a selection of the less heavy stuff from our music collection)

Mr Mackenzie: Now We Are Married[/url]
Super Furry Animals - Fire in my heart. Quality!
Super Furry Animals - Fire in my heart.
I love that song!
We chose Saturday Sun by Nick Drake, which is a beautiful song.
We didn't have a first dance but we were going to have I Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For.
LOL @ Shaggy 😉
I believe when i fall in love by Stevie Wonder
i picked it because it was used at the end of:

and my wife thinks i'm a music snob (probably true to be honest)
We had 'Something Changed' by Pulp. Our meeting was pure chance and this summed it up (plus we both love Pulp)
We then followed up with Baby I Love You by the Ramones which filled the floor.
And we left the reception to 'We have all the time in the world' by the Fun Lovin' Criminals.
Yes, it was the Degrees of Motion one. Still like it.
"Everybody's gotta learn sometimes" by Beck
Minnie Riperton - Loving You
18 years and three kids later it still gets me everytime i hear it
First time it was 'Happy? You Must Be Joking' by the Howling Sleepers, must have been portentious, lasted 2 years 😕 Second time it was 'Here Comes the Sun' and still happy 6 years later 🙂
Crazy Love - Van Morrison
November Rain - Guns n Roses raised a few eyebrows!
Ian Brown - Lovebug
Frank Sinatra, Come fly with me. I still smile every time I hear it.
it had to be you, Harry C JR then
you do something to me, Paul Weller
and i slipped In speak to me someone by Gene
I was at a wedding recently where things kicked off with "I believe in a thing called love" by the Darkness. RAWK AND RAWL!
The love walrus' my first my last my everything. We fancied a first dance but couldn't take it seriously like some seem to so figured that this was a song that always made us laugh 🙂
Something Changed by Pulp (metoo jonv), sung by the band we had. They did a brilliant job.
White Wedding - Billy Idol for the walk down the aisle bit
then
Vangelis - Prelude
Allways look on the bright side of life!
Prince - Purple Rain
Runrig - The Greatest Flame
Someone like you- Van the man
How Sweet It Is To Be Loved By You - by James Taylor - bit cheesy, yeah, but we've seen him live so many times and You've Got A Friend makes both of us cry, so thought HSIITBLBY might be a little more upbeat given the occasion. Ah...happy memories 🙂
EDIT:
Someone like you- Van the man
Aye, class track that...
We had Robbie Williams She's the One as my wife walked down the aisle; Wives and Lovers sung by Jack Jones as we signed the register; and Praise you by Fatboy Slim as we left.
Our first Dance was Fun Loving Criminals singing 'We Have All the Time in the World'
we had "secret smile" by semisonic. Our lass needs a stick to walk, but i chucked it off the dance floor saying "you don't need that, I've got ya wifey!"
Some good choices above. All the right reasons by The Jayhawks for us. Followed by God Only Knows by the Beach Boys, which it turns out is actually really difficult to dance to...
RobS - The Mackenzies , classic. Led me onto the Rattler and a whole flood of youthful memories of seeing them play in Edinburgh. Best gig was up Sth Clerk St, can;t remember the name of the place, fire alarm went off and we were at the front, ended up in the dresing room drinking Becks with the band !!
Anyway, ours was [url=
get Married by The Proclaimers[/url] cos we sort of decided to do it halfway through this song the year before in a circus big top in Inverness !
"Not given lightly" by Chris Knox. A bit more mellow than his work with Toylove or Tall Dwarves, but still a classic.
" I knew I loved you " by Savage Garden
[i]I knew I loved you before I met you
I think I dreamed you into life
I knew I loved you before I met you
I have been waiting all my life

mrs and I met on the internet and it was about 6mnths before we met in real life. ( just fyi.. that was 13years ago and we've been married 10 this year )
