Wedding Songs...

[Dezdmona]

I'm looking for "1st Dance" songs for my Daughter's wedding.
What I'd like is some suggestions of more "current" songs...i.e., songs of the last 15 years.

I know, I'm dating myself, but the only ones I can think of are old songs. (not that that's a bad thing. )
We'll play those, too.

Thanks.

Are we talking in terms of Buffett songs, or all songs in general?

For your daughter and her dad?

I Loved Her First ~Heartland

Look at the two of you dancing that way
Lost in the moment and each others face
So much in love your alone in this place
Like there's nobody else in the world
I was enough for her not long ago
I was her number one
She told me so
And she still means the world to me
Just so you know
So be careful when you hold my girl
Time changes everything
Life must go on
And I'm not gonna stand in your way

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But it still hard to give her away
I loved her first

How could that beautiful women with you
Be the same freckle face kid that I knew
The one that I read all those fairy tales to
And tucked into bed all those nights
And I knew the first time I saw you with her
It was only a matter of time

But I loved her first and I held her first
And a place in my heart will always be hers
From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
And I prayed that she'd find you someday
But its still hard to give her away
I loved her first

From the first breath she breathed
When she first smiled at me
I knew the love of a father runs deep
Someday you might know what I'm going through
When a miracle smiles up at you
I loved her first

I think I'd go with O.P.P. instead.

If it is for the bride and groom i like "True Companion" by Marc Cohn. friends of mine used it as their wedding song last year! as one of the gifts to the guests the bride burned it on a cd along with a bunch of other songs that she had the dj play! it is great to listen to the cd and recall the great time we had at their wedding!!!!

I did wedding photography for almost 10 years and I still think the best first dance song is " You Look Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton. It still holds up to the test of time and it always reminds me of how wonderful my bride is everytime I hear it.

Darden Smith- Perfect Moment

Rain falls down on the desert sand
And the flowers cover the land
They’ve been waiting patiently
For the right raindrop to set them free
Well ain’t it just like love
I thought there was none
That was when I found one
On a dark night in a southern town
You called to me and I turned around
In a perfect moment when the stars aligned
You couldn’t have come at a better time
And every day of my life had led me to
That perfect moment with you
Lucky that we did not meet
Ten years back on the street
So many pages yet to turn
So many dreams still to burn
Oh but I don’t cry for the wasted years
Or the twisted roads that got me here
I have been to the end of the earth
And I know what standing still is worth
In a perfect moment when the stars aligned
Love don’t travel in straight lines
And every day of my life had led me to
That perfect moment with you
Well the wheel of fortune is going round and round
I never thought I would come up when I was down
But a perfect moment when the stars aligned
When you put your hand in mine
And every day of my life has led me to
That perfect moment
Every day of my life has led me to
This perfect moment with you

And Anything, Anytime, Anywhere.

You're my peace of mind in this crazy world.
You're everything I've tried to find, your love is a pearl.
You're my Mona Lisa, you're my rainbow skies,
And my only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.

The world will turn and the seasons will change,
And all the lessons we will learn will be beautiful and strange.
We'll have our fill of tears, our share of sighs.
My only prayer is that you realize
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.


You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
That you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.


When there are lines upon my face from a lifetime of smiles,
And when the time comes to embrace for one long last while,
We can laugh about how time really flies.
We won't say goodbye 'cause true love never dies.
You'll always be beautiful in my eyes.


You will always be beautiful in my eyes.
And the passing years will show
that you will always grow ever more beautiful in my eyes.
The passing years will show that you will always grow
ever more beautiful in my eyes.

Just the Way You
~ Billy Joel


Don't go changing, to try and please me
You never let me down before
Don't imagine you're too familiar
And I don't see you anymore
I wouldn't leave you in times of trouble
We never could have come this far
I took the good times, I'll take the bad times
I'll take you just the way you are

Don't go trying some new fashion
Don't change the color of your hair
You always have my unspoken passion
Although I might not seem to care

I don't want clever conversation
I never want to work that hard
I just want someone that I can talk to
I want you just the way you are.

I need to know that you will always be
The same old someone that I knew
What will it take 'till you believe in me
The way that I believe in you.

I said I love you, and that's forever
And this I promise from the heart
I could not love you any better
I love you just the way you are.

The Chair- George Strait

Well, excuse me, but I think youve got my chair.
No, that ones not taken, I dont mind

Oh, if you dont mind, could I talk you out of a light.

Well, thank you, could I drink you a buy?
Oh, listen to me, what I mean is can I buy you a drink?
Anything you please.
Oh, youre welcome, well, I dont think I caught your name.
Are you waiting for someone to meet you here?
Well, that makes two of us glad you came.

No, I dont know the name of the band, but theyre good.
Arent they, would you like to dance?
Yeah, I like this song too, it reminds me of you and me.
Well, baby do you think theres a chance
That later on I could drive you home?
No, I dont mind at all.

Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth
That wasnt my chair after all.
Oh, I like you too, and to tell you the truth
That wasnt my chair after all.

Yea, but somehow I think the grandma's would loose their cookies if we played that one at the church...

....maybe I should make a CD for their "afterparty" and put that one on it for them.
