Atticus Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 "The Nearness of You," sung a la the Keith Richards demo that's never been commercially available, which the engineer of the tune sent to me via email one magical afternoon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

borracho Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 got married in a Church of Christ, so there was no dancing at the reception... but the first song sung at the wedding was "If" by Bread... WTF? i should've paid more attention to the actual wedding details, methinks... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Scalzunfield Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I'm pushing for Via Chicago. She's not really goin' for it... Seriously though I do suggest it as a joke and it gets a major roll of the eyes to which I of course have to (poorly) sing the first few lines. Really, I don't know what song it'll be. Just as long as she doesn't want some lame Jack Johnson number, I'm cool. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
bleedorange Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 In the weeks leading up to the wedding, I was constantly suggesting to my wife that we dance to "Under My Thumb." Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Alan Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 L.M.L.Y.P by Ween but no, really, i'd like to use Kinks - Strangers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
TimRoss Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 This gem from Watercolor was our first dance song. I have some Super8 film from the wedding cut to this song. If I can figure out how to rip it from DVD to youtube, I'll up it. Joe Pisapia of Guster is half of Watercolor. Father/Daughter, Mother/Son dance was Please Tell My Brother, but that was because we were moving to Colorado three weeks after the wedding. Good times. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
junkiesmile Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 I don't know what the first song was but my wife and I danced to Mystifies Me from Son Volt's Trace. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Speed Racer Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 but no, really, i'd like to use Kinks - Strangers Ditto, but I think I'd rather go with the Golden Smog version on account of it doesn't sound so much like it was recorded in a bathtub. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Katie3 Posted March 11, 2008 Share Posted March 11, 2008 Not married yet, but I want to walk up the aisle to two of my friends playing Sunken Treasure, and have our first dance to One True Vine. That is, with whom I am with now, because those songs are significant to us. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
anthony Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 My first song was "My Funny Valentine". We had the Susie Hansen Band play at our wedding. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 "I Knew the Bride When She Used to Rock n Roll" was the first fun dance. I insisted on that Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco Worshipper Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Mine was "Always and Forever" by Heatwave. I had it picked out since I was 11 years old. If I were to marry the guy I'm sorta with now, it would be "Woman" by John Lennon. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poppydawn Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 "I Knew the Bride When She Used to Rock n Roll" was the first fun dance. I insisted on that That's awesome! I love that song. Had we done a more traditional reception, I definitely would have kicked things off with that, too. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
poppydawn Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 The Beach Boys - God Only Knows That was on the mix CD I listened to when I was in labor with my daughter. One of my friends put together a great mix of songs for the occasion, and now every single one of them makes me sob like a baby. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Wilco Worshipper Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 God Only Knows and What a Wonderful World always break me... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
hardwood floor Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 got married in a Church of Christ, so there was no dancing at the reception... but the first song sung at the wedding was "If" by Bread... WTF? i should've paid more attention to the actual wedding details, methinks... "If" is actually a great song better than anything on Sky Blue Sky! had a girlfriend in college who loved Bread. yep, seriously. I laughed at her but later realized, damn, they're actually pretty good listen to "Everything I Own". great mid-tempo pop ballad Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Analogman Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 You slay me A-man. This makes me think of Westinghouse Company picnics. I was married once - almost 18 years ago. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saut Crapaud Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 I've Fallen In Love off Bap Kennedy's first record on Steve Earle's e-squared label. A really beautiful, simple love song that my wife adored and we hadn't heard at a wedding before or since. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
parisisstale Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 Harvest Moon I've always respected your opinions and dug your taste, and this one seals the deal. I'd love to copy you, unfortunately the one I love is currently unattainable. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RaspberryJam Posted March 12, 2008 Share Posted March 12, 2008 We walked out of the church with "I Got You," James Brown, played by a friend on piano. Kind of fun. The best wedding I ever went to had "Ring Of Fire" for their first dance, It was awesome! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
