I really don't think most people have ever even heard our song. It's "I Could Write a Book" written by Rodgers and Hart (and originally from the Broadway show Pal Joey). We danced to the Frank Sinatra version; some may know it from the Harry Connick version (was it instrumental only?) in When Harry Met Sally. We were close friends before we started dating...

I Could Write a Book

If they asked me, I could write a book;
About the way you walk, and whisper;
And look.
I could write a preface;
On how we met;
That the world will never forget.

And the simple;
Secret of the plot;
Is just to tell them;
That I love you, a lot.
Then the world discovers;
As my book ends;
How to make two lovers of friends



This is such a great song. HCJ did a GREAT remake of it.

Ous was "When the Stars Go Blue" by Ryan Adams. Pretty uncommon, we loved it.

I went to a wedding this weekend and their song was "All I Need" by Radiohead. Pretty amazing.

I wanted Otis Redding's "
I've Been Loving You Too Long"



Ooh, I first heard this song a couple of years ago and thought it was the most romantic thing I'd ever heard. I listened to it 3 times in a row!

Our wedding song was the Divine Comedy's "Perfect Love Song." DH has the most amazing CD collection and when we were first dating, he'd try to impress me by bringing me CDs to borrow. The Divine Comedy was one of the first CDs he brought me, and I remember thinking that if it ever worked out with this guy, "Perfect Love Song" would be a great wedding song.

Our song was "You Make me Feel Brand new" by Simply Red.
It was a remake from the Stylistics.
You do not hear that too often. As a matter of fact my husbands aunt said it was her song and they were married like 30 something years.

Our actual song wasn't very popular but it was 'acceptable.'

But our entrance song was Korn - Blind. Chat Icon

Had some people scratching their heads, but hey that's what we like and that was our compromise.

DH and I had "At Last" by Etta James as our first song.
It was quite fitting for us, as 41 and 45 year old first time marrieds.

It was my song too but it was because we had been dating for 10+ years before we got married. My friends thought it was hilarious and fitting Chat Icon

Re: Spinoff to wedding songs... Who think they had a unique wedding song that you don't normally hear...

Ours was Everything by Lifehouse

It took us forever to agree on a song, and I'm so glad we picked something uncommon. The lyrics are perfect for us.





Find Me Here
Speak To Me
I want to feel you
I need to hear you
You are the light
That's leading me
To the place where I find peace again.

You are the strength, that keeps me walking.
You are the hope, that keeps me trusting.
You are the light to my soul.
You are my purpose...you're everything.

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

You calm the storms, and you give me rest.
You hold me in your hands, you won't let me fall.
You steal my heart, and you take my breath away.
Would you take me in? Take me deeper now?

How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Cause you're all I want, You're all I need
You're everything,everything
You're all I want your all I need
You're everything, everything.
You're all I want you're all I need.
You're everything, everything
You're all I want you're all I need, you're everything, everything.

And how can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?
How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

<background>How can I stand here with you and not be moved by you?
Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Would you tell me how could it be any better than this?

Come What May from Moulin Rouge soundtrack.... unless you've seen the movie, you've never heard it so I think it's pretty unique.

DH and I picked it for it meaning- that no matter what happens we will love each other.



this was ours as well

Ours was pretty unique to be used as a wedding song. It is "All My Life' by KCi & JoJo.

Cruising-Gwenyth Paltrow and Huey Lewis from the movie Duets. Not a typical wedding song-but meaningful to us.

Re: Spinoff to wedding songs... Who think they had a unique wedding song that you don't normally hear...

I thought our wedding song was pretty uncommon (though maybe in the early 80's it wasn't??Chat Icon )

DH has always been all about music. I had never heard the song when I met him but I think he put it on a mix tape for me and I loved it. I remember thinking right then (and we were probably dating less then a year) that if we ever got married, that would be the perfect song for us - right down to the last lines.Chat Icon

Somebody by Depeche Mode

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
She'll get my support
She will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
She'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact she'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
She will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

I've never heard anyone else use our song, nor have I seen anyone post it on here or LIW when these type threads come up.

My One & Only Love, the Sting version from Leaving Las Vegas. It was originally done by Frank Sinatra, but also by John Coltrane, Dean Martin, Ella Fitzgerald, Chris Botti....

Never heard of anyone having our song - "I'd Die Without You" by PM Dawn. It was "our" song for a very long time while we were dating.

I've never known anyone else to use our song... "You Sang To Me" by Marc Anthony. It was our song right from when we first started dating 11 years ago.

Nat King Cole-Sentimental Reasons.

It was never our song but we liked it to represent our first dance.

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

I love you and you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part

I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling, I'm never lonely
Whenever you are in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

We also had Got to Get You Into My Life.

I love you
And you alone were meant for me
Please give your loving heart to me
And say we'll never part

I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
Whenever you're in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

I think of you every morning
Dream of you every night
Darling I'm never lonely
Whenever you're in sight

I love you for sentimental reasons
I hope you do believe me
I've given you my heart

"Then"-Brad Paisley

"Then"

I remember trying not to stare
The night that I first met you
You had me mezmorized
And three weeks later
In the front porch light
Taking 45 minutes to kiss goodnight
I hadn't told you yet
I thought I loved you then

Now you're my whole life
Now you're my whole world
I just can't believe
The way I feel about you girl
Like a river meets the sea
Stronger than its ever been
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then

I remember taking you back
To right where I first met you
You were so suprised
There were people around
But I didn't care
I got down on one knee right there
And once again
I thought I loved you then

Now you're my whole life
Now you're my whole world
I just can't believe
The way I feel about you girl
Like a river meets the sea
Stronger than its ever been
We've come so far since that day
And I thought I loved you then

I can just see you
With a baby on the way
I can just see you
When your hair is turning grey
What I can't see
Is how I'm ever gonna love you more
But I've said that before

Now you're my whole life
Now you're my whole world
I just can't believe
The way I feel about you girl
We'll look back someday
At this moment that we're in
And I'll look at you and say
And I thought I loved you then

And I thought I loved you then

Ours was blue October - calling you. Unless you are a fan of the band, you probably haven't heard it.

It totally fits us.



LOVE this song. LOVE this band.
