I love all of his songs, but I so far can't think of one to play at a wedding, I'll keep thinking, there has to be one out there.

My wife and I danced to Slow Boat To China. Not a Buffett original, but it fit the occasion.

Anything, Anytime, Anywhere
By Bruce Cockburn
( Mike on accordion, Sonny on slide )

Tomorrow may come
It usually does
Don’t know what it brings
To the two of us
I just want you to know
What I’m ready to do
Anything, anytime, anywhere, for you

When I’m holding you tight
You give me the power
To burn like a torch
In the darkest hour
Tell me what you need
I will surely come through
Anything, anytime, anywhere for you

VERSE INSTRUMENTAL

Passion runs deep
It’s scary sometime
When it’s larger than life
For your piece of mind
It’s got me all insane
I’m not sorry that’s true
Anything, anytime, anywhere for you
Anything, anytime, anywhere for you
Anything, anytime, anywhere for you

I sent my wife these lyrics when she was going through chemo. It reminds me what being in love and married is all about, you never know what's going to happen but you'll always be there for each other.

One Particular Harbor because you're each others "one particular harbor"???

Love and Luck???? because with "a little love and luck you will survive"?


Floridays? because your marriage will be as sunny as "Floridays"

Changes in Latitude? because you're new marriage is a change in latitude/attitude????

Knees of My Heart because your spouse has granted your request to:
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart
Take me from the knees of my heart

Jimmy's songs don't necessarily fit into the prototypical 1st song like "At Last" (which never gets old) or "Unforgettable" but they can be more fun. Don't forget, your guests WILL NOT remember your 1st song but you will for the rest of your life.

Congratulations!

Who's the Blonde Stranger?

Nothing like starting out a marriage with a song about cheating :pirate:

Barometer Soup is an upbeat song with a positive message
and a nice calypso sound.

Totally agree. It's a great song, and if another country star would have recorded it, it would be a top hit. Hope all is well with your wife.

I WAS GOING TO USE THE SONG. "BLUE HEAVEN RENDEZVUEZ" FROM THE ALBUM BAROMETER SOUP. BUT THEN I REALIZED I WAS GETTING MARRRIED AND RAN LIKE HELL. BUT STILL A VERY GOOD FIRST DANCE SONG.

You may want to check out this thread that has some good suggestions of Wedding Songs.

(We burned a bunch of songs to CD & gave them to the DJ.)
We also used Brown Eyed Girl, because our Daughter has, well.... :wink: )

BTW, Our daughter chose "Over The Rainbow" for her first dance, but she's a huge WoOz fan.

I've got a bunch of romantic song's on our playlist (old/new, etc...)
Let me know if you'd like some more ideas.

But back to BUFFETT!

Don't know about a 1st Dance, but a good JB tune to play at a wedding...

Love and Luck

Better days are in the cards I feel
I feel it in the changing winds
I feel it when I fly
So talk to me
Listen to this story
I've been around enough to know
That there's more than meets the eye

Everbody needs a little good luck charm
A little gris-gris keeps you safe from harm
Rub yours on me and I'll rub mine on you
Luckiest couple on the avenue

With a little love and luck you will get by
With a little love and luck we'll take the sky
In this megalo modern world you've got to try
Try a little love and luck and you'll get by

Mysteries
Don't ever try to change em'
We're just players in this game
And No ones keepin' score
So have your fun
Go aheadand tell your story
Find yourself a lover who will glue you to the floor

Everbody needs a little good luck charm
A little gris-gris keeps you safe from harm
Rub yours on me and I'll rub mine on you
Luckiest couple on the avenue

With a little love and luck you will get by
With a little love and luck we'll take the sky
In this megalo-moern world you've got to try
Try a little love and luck and you'll get by

Kole sere
