posted this in another thread - thought it could be useful to some of you.
my FH is rather picky and doesn't like cheesy songs and i didn't want songs that were too common (didn't want my guests to feel 'aiyah same wedding song as the wedding i attended last week). my requirements were that the lyrics, if any, had to be meaningful
so in the end we settled on:
lullabye by bond (which is a nice upbeat version of canon. cos i love canon but it's so overused) - my walk down the aisle song
more by frank sinatra - our first song as mr & mrs
for once in my life by stevie wonder - our first march in
but you may also wish to consider less conventional songs (and some are really quite nice when you listen to the lyrics), songs like:
- this magic moment by the drifters
- sh-boom by i dunno who
- the wonder of you by elvis presley
- quando quando quando by engelbert humberdink
- something tells me i'm into something good by hermans hermits
- cheek to cheek by frank astarie
- you to me are everything by the real thing
- my love by petula clark
- i just want to be your everything by the beegees
(you can see i'm quite an oldies person)
you can search for lyrics on

i'm sorry i can't send any songs cos i run on slow systems both at home and at the office but good luck with your song search anyhow. cheers
