Wedding song was Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton. It was the theme of MH’s senior prom in 1996. We were set up on a blind date about a month before his prom because my friend wanted me to be able to go to their prom (different school). So we used it for our first dance at our wedding also.

We danced to Beautiful Mess by Diamond Rio. We dated all through high school and were constantly getting in trouble for being together when we shouldn't. So it became our song lol. I walked down the aisle to Marry Me by Train. I still tear up when it comes on.

Cute story, lfig! Our song was the acoustic version of Everlong by Foo Fighters. I wanted "I Will Follow You Into The Dark" by Death Cab for Cutie. Pete thought it was too morbid. Pete wanted "Stand Inside Your Love" by Smashing Pumpkins but that was too up tempo. |

After discussing it a lot, Dh did not want a first dance (introvert, didn’t want all the eyes on him). We had very specific music ideas and put together a list, but when someone from the venue told us to play the last songs one of DH’s friends put in ‘lean on me’ by Bill Withers and the crowd organically made a circle and before Dh or me knowing we had a last dance, which included me dancing with my dad & Dh dancing with his mom. That song meant very little to me before that moment, it is now very special.

I can't remember our reception entrance song.
Bridal Procession song was the instrumental into to November Rain.
Bridal party procession was acoustic version of Such Great Heights by Iron and Wine, then the precession song was Such Great Heights by Postal Service.
During cocktail hour we played Portishead, My Bloody Valentine, Mazzy Star, stuff like that.

1st dance was Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong. MH and I have VERY different music tastes and had to go old school to find something we could agree on.
His brother is a musician, and I walked down the aisle to him playing a slower version of one of his songs (all acoustic) on the guitar, so that was pretty cool.
First dance with my dad was the Beatles, In my Life.
We made specific play lists for prior to the wedding (while guests were arriving), as people were leaving and heading into cocktail hour, and cocktail hour. We spent quite a bit of time on that and I'm sure no one really noticed...

H and I got married in our back yard...I don't even remember the song that played during the wedding. We didn't do a first dance or any of that, but 2nd wedding.
I have no clue what songs were played when I got married the first time...in 2001.
ETA: I remembered the song we played during the wedding, Christina Perri - A Thousand Years. Because I had a crush on H when he went to HS with my brother and he didn't know I existed.

I didn’t have a dance at my reception so no first dance song. For the candle lighting we played “Love Me Tender” by Norah Jones and we walked out to “All I Want Is You” by Barry Louis Polisar (it’s from the movie Juno). I walked down the aisle to the instrumental beginning of “Hoppipolla” by Sigur Ros.

MH and I just sat here trying to remember how everything went-- we failed. I had to look back in my emails.
We walked down the aisle to Breezin' by George Benson
We walked out to What a Wonderful World by Sam Cooke
We were introduced to Lovely Day by Bill Withers
Our official wedding song & first dance was to Suddenly by Billy Ocean
And we cut the cake to Kissing my Love by Bill Withers
Other songs we like played throughout the night. This list is still
growing...
