Without consulting my future yet-to-be-determined husband, I'd have to say Drifting & Driving, by Tim Blane.

Pull Up to the Bumper by Grace Jones.

We got married to "When Ragtime Rosie Ragged the Rosary" (for real!) played live by a great ragtime jazz hand, Kerry Price & Mother's Boys.

O Parson Lee in Tennessee
In accents loud and clear
Said "Folks, I'm awful sorry
But our organ man ain't here.
Now I'd like someone to
stand up and volunteer."

There came a shout!

When Ragtime Rosie Ragged the Rosary
(Well Deacon Alexander started in to reprimand her)
But he turned around and he could see
That instead of prayin' Rosie got the folks a-swayin'

That tune so sweet
Was oh! such a treat
It charmed their feet and got 'em
Dancin' and prancin'
The ragtime two-step
Till Parson Lee (why, he forgot his sermon and began to talk in German)
Listenin' to that low-down melody
Then he
Said "I want you folks to know
That this ain't no minstrel show!"

When Ragtime Rosie Ragged the Rosary!

"White Wedding" by Billy Idol... cuz we'll both be virgins of course....

;)

I Found My Everything - Mary J. Blige

I was going to say At Last by Etta James, buy I think everyone dances to that song.

Would "You and Me" by Lifehouse be too tacky??

I love that song...

For the opening dance, I'd want a live, scaled-back rendition of the Walz No. 2 movement from Dmitri Shostakovich's 1934 "Suite for Jazz Orchestra No. 1". It was featured as the opening and closing title theme to Stanley Kubrick's 1999 film, Eyes Wide Shut.

The next Mr. Right must waltz, or be willing to learn -– non-negotiable.

I picked this song a long time ago but it has since become a wedding standard: At Last by Etta James.

wakeboi saidWould "You and Me" by Lifehouse be too tacky??

I love that song...

I don't think so... I love that song too. One of my college roommates and his wife danced to "Everything" by Lifehouse at their wedding. I love that that song too. Lifehouse kicks ass!

1. Oasis- Champagne Supernova
2. Allison Krauss- Stars
3. Ashlee Simpson- Catch Me When I Fall

Patrick

Our first dance : White Lace and Promises by the Carpenters.

TERRIBLE CHOICE. IT WAS SO EMBARRASSING.

"Rainbow Connection" from The Muppet Movie. It's ace!

It's a toss up between 'When You Kiss Me' and 'I'm Jealous', both by Shania Twain.

If I ever get married , I will like to dance to the song "This I swear" from Nick Lachey.

"All the Man that I Need" By Whitney Houston. When it happens!

"Cheek to Cheek" by Irving Berlin:

Heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together dancing cheek to cheek
Heaven, I’m in heaven
And the cares that hung around me through the week
Seem to vanish like a gambler’s lucky streak
When we’re out together dancing (swinging) cheek to cheek
Oh I love to climb a mountain
And reach the highest peak
But it doesn’t thrill (boot) me half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
Oh I love to go out fishing
In a river or a creek
But I don’t enjoy it half as much
As dancing cheek to cheek
(come on and) dance with me
I want my arm(s) about you
That (those) charm(s) about you
Will carry me through...
(right up) to heaven, I’m in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak
And I seem to find the happiness I seek
When we’re out together dancing, out together dancing (swinging)
Out together dancing cheek to cheek

I want my friend, Dr. Diva, to sing it. She's one of the best Jazz and Blues singers around: http://www.drdiva.biz/. If she can't do it, then I'll have to use Ella's & Louis Armstrong's version.

Now I just have to figure out who I can trick into marrying me and doesn't mind me planning everything!

Please don't everyone laugh all at once, but it will be "Amazed" by Lonestar. I sing it at karaoke sometimes, and it makes Bret cry 'cuz I'm looking right at him the whole time...

This is my choice:

Closer by NINE INCH NAILS . . bwahahaha

no really

FROM THIS MOMENT ON by Shania Twain. I just need someone to teach me how to dance to it

Mike

jarhead5536 saidPlease don't everyone laugh all at once, but it will be "Amazed" by Lonestar. I sing it at karaoke sometimes, and it makes Bret cry 'cuz I'm looking right at him the whole time...

I wouldn't laugh at that. My partner, and I were in a gay bar one night, and it just happened to be karaoke night. I was not performing, but someone sang Amazed and I sang along to my partner.

Mike

Everything or You and Me from Lifehouse. Those are my choices.

When we tied the knot at our Country and Western themed party last year we wanted our first song to be, 'Islands in the Stream' by Dolly and Kenny.

However our incompetant DJ played 'Jolene' instead, which was completely wrong, but kinda funny.

It doesn't really matter as long as you're dancing with the man you love in front of your family and friends.

Lozx

(im a sucker fro a good song)

This will sound wierd probably but maybe just where I am right now...but I'd say Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.

My lover and I of 30+ years - THE SWEETIST THING I'VE EVER KNOWN IS LOVING YOU...
Sung by Juice Newton....

Also SOME ENCHANTED EVENING especially sung by Jane Oliver...

p.s. VOTE RON PAUL...

Mansfield by Elton John

Posession - Sarah McLachlan
You and Me - Lifehouse

eb925guy saidThis will sound wierd probably but maybe just where I am right now...but I'd say Chasing Cars by Snow Patrol.

That's an amazing song!

Romantic. ;)

Our wedding, after 10 years together, is coming up in March. We have chosen Everything by Michael Buble for our first dance.

DevilsAdvocate saidMy lover and I of 30+ years - THE SWEETIST THING I'VE EVER KNOWN IS LOVING YOU...
Sung by Juice Newton....

Also SOME ENCHANTED EVENING especially sung by Jane Oliver...

p.s. VOTE RON PAUL...

Ron Paul? Um, no.

Anyhoo, Some Enchanted Evening has a great lyric, but I defintitely prefer the Barbra Streisand version...

This is a little out there in left field but I'd want
The Reason, by Hoobastank.

I think my first wedding dance would go like this.



This couple look like they were meant for each other. I really love this video!!

We had originally planned that 'Our Song' would be a Josh Groban song... But we have a couple of friends who are extremely good - well known professional - singer/actors. They sort of took over the stage... Lots of Cole Porter, Irving Berlin, Show Tunes, and some Pop standards.

One did a fantastic version of 'Hero'.

My favorite was a friend who sang "A Nightingale Sang In Berkeley Square" (R Stewart)

Another friend - a jazz vocalist - brought his jazz band and did a super set for most of the evening.

Memorable.

was humming Some Enchanted Evening on the way back from the first camping trip that I and my boyfriend made together, just seemed appropriate...


as for a wedding...love the lyrics of John Denvers, Annie's Song...."you fill up my senses...."

also love the song, don't know it's name, by Savage Garden, with the chorus lyrics:
I want to stand with you on the mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea,
I want to lay/live like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me.....

but as noted earlier, the song really doesnt matter all that much, if you are dancing in the strong arms of the man you love...

perhaps, some day....

imax132Our wedding, after 10 years together, is coming up in March. We have chosen Everything by Michael Buble for our first dance.

first, congrats

second, I agree, I would have a micheal buble song for sure; "Everything", or if I wanted a laugh, "It had better be tonight"

I just love his voice, "Home" made me burst into tears last year when I was at med school...

I would love to swing dance at my wedding to this:

"At Last" - the Etta James version.

Just speaking for myself. My partner would undoubtedly pick something else - and I'd be happy to dance to that - whatever it is.

Shania Twain - From This Moment On

Mariah Carey - Thank God I Found You

I do, I do, I do, I do, I do.

I'd try not to look like Muriel, though

This thread is waaaaay too queer!

Onixotto saidThis thread is waaaaay too queer!

And yet....you read it....

Cuz I'm a fag stupid!

Onixotto saidCuz I'm a fag stupid!

Only cos he has a secret yearning to be dressed up like a big fluffy meringue

bfg1Only cos he has a secret yearning to be dressed up like a big fluffy meringue

Well, I wasn't gonna say it, but since you did, bfg....

My pick would be "I don't love you" by MCR... 8D no but really. Maybe "Dancing in the moonlight", catcy.

That would be up to my wife to decide!

But probably moroccan music.

Faithless - Social Distortion

Onixotto saidThis thread is waaaaay too queer!

Onixotto, could you hum a few bars of "This thread is waaaaay too queer!" or at least give us the words so we can sing along... tee-hee....

Ticks by Brad Paisley

Onixotto saidThis thread is waaaaay too queer!

I do my best.

it will be a toss up.....either

At Last by Etta James

or

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones

liftordie saidit will be a toss up.....either

At Last by Etta James

or

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones

My brother in law and his wife had Etta James, so we'll have to go with Norah Jones if that's ok with you.

This is the song I'd want at my wedding, but the video just has to be seen anyway.

ok timberoo now i just need to explain to my boo boo how all three of us are gonna dance together!! lol muah

'i will always love you' Dolly Parton original version !
my head on your shoulder the whole time and don't you worry, i ain't going nowhere!

if ever i get married ... i will dance to ...

THIS I PROMISE YOU ... by N Sync ...

i fell in love with the song the first time i heard it ...

and it will always be ... in my heart ... forever ...

"This I Promise You"

Ohh ohh...

When the visions around you,
Bring tears to your eyes
And all that surround you,
Are secrets and lies
I'll be your strength,
I'll give you hope,
Keeping your faith when it's gone
The one you should call,
Was standing here all along..

And I will take
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you
This I promise you

I've loved you forever,
In lifetimes before
And I promise you never...
Will you hurt anymore
I give you my word
I give you my heart (give you my heart)
This is a battle we've won
And with this vow,
Forever has now begun...

Just close your eyes (close your eyes)
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you..
This I promise you..

Over and over I fall (over and over I fall)
When I hear you call
Without you in my life baby
I just wouldn't be living at all...

And I will take (I will take you in my arms)
You in my arms
And hold you right where you belong (right where you belong)
Till the day my life is through
This I promise you baby

Just close your eyes
Each loving day (each loving day)
I know this feeling won't go away (no..)
Every word I say is true
This I promise you

Every word I say is true
This I promise you
Ooh, I promise you...

Don't Stop the Music of Rihanna, and she will be singing it live of course

hmmm not that I'm ever getting married buuut nightwish- romanticide or cradle of filth- nymphetamine would be a good place to start.

Though I suppose if it needs a more dance beat then the celldweller cover of tragedy would be amazing

Actually, I want to get married in full Cowboy drag so this song probably won't do as the main song, but techno is a gay staple so i'm sure this # will be played at one of several after parties following my Wedding.

Not that I plan to get married anytime soon but "unchained melody" would be my dance song. I know, very traditional song...

I'd like to have Rihanna singing Don't Stop the Music.

"Supersonic" by J J Fad

I love this song so much i convinced my teacher from 8th grade who was getting married and didn't know what song to use to use this one at her wedding

Oh and later on i found out that the lead singer is gay. Not that important but an interesting little peice to know.

Thread like this lightens up the room ;)
By the way, there is nothing gay or queer about having a song you want to share with special someone for the special occasion.

My choice is "Now and Forever" by Richard Marx

Just to be real, I doubt I'll have a ceremony. So when legal rights are attainable for us queers, my partner and I will probably celebrate by having hot sex, like always, but, to keep up with the topic, we'll listen to "Loce Shack" by the B52s...mmm romantic.

"The Monster Mash"
by Bobby (Boris) Pickett and the Cryptkicker Five

Lifehouse - You & Me

me and you by cassie

ill stand by you by girls aloud but the bassy thecno remix my boy friend made lol

I think I'll pick "Smack my bitch up" by Prodigy


hahaha

Alexander89 said I love this song so much i convinced my teacher from 8th grade who was getting married and didn't know what song to use to use this one at her wedding

That song brings back memories. I was in Germany (middle school) when I first heard that song!

I'm not sure what song I would want to dance to if I was to get married. Perhaps, don't laugh, an Enya song. I've always loved her stuff.

This is a very sweet thread

Question for those of you who are married: how did you know when he was THE ONE? Is it a feeling or a yearning? Just curious

Mm, seems to be loads..

it supposed to be some R&B, "leak my lolipop" things

or i'd pick something from oldgold stuff -

That's the way love goes by Janet Jackson
Hanky-Panky
All around the world by L.Standsfield
or Close to you by Maxi Priest etcetera

(btw, check Best Days or They can't Take That Away (in my music here) - i suppose it fits the occasion, what d'you think?)

This is gonna be really (yawn) creative eve

I was married, so as I'm really cautious about this, I'd have to say:

"This time I know it's for real."

Hmmmmm......

maybe "Someone to Watch Over Me" (Chet Baker)


although in private it would be "Statues" by the Foo Fighters. Something about that song is very compelling. Not really upbeat, but it's about people who find love after time and hurt, which is how I think it ends up happening for a lot of gay men my age.

There are a couple of songs that i love and would love to dance to at my wedding:

Loreena McKennitt -- Dante's Prayer
Ben Folds -- The Luckiest
Rascal Flatts -- God Bless the Broken Road

Those are hands down my 3 favorite love songs ever.

Well here comes the sappy romantic in me. Without a doubt the following song would capture everything I couldn't think of to say but would want to at that moment....

I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You - Marc Anthony & Tina Arena

Moon so bright night so fine
Keep your heart here with mine
Life's a dream we are dreaming
Race the moon catch the wind
Ride the night to the end
Seize the day stand up for the light
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
Heroes rise heroes fall
Rise again, win it all
In your heart, can't you feel the glory
Through our joy, through our pain
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance with me
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you
Though we know we will never come again
Where there is love, life begins
Over and over again
Save the night, save the day
Save the love, come what may
Love is worth everything we pay
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you.

I'd be bouncing to LOW (Feat. T Pain) by Flo Rida. Cause how I do it ...

Peace!

If my boyfriend and I finally decide to have a ceremony of sorts, our song would be

I found love by Joi Cardwell

My partner and I are still discussing but here is one we like:

Kissing You - Des'ree



I get choked up a little every time I hear it. But the fear is that I'll never have the chance to slow dance with someone to this song at a ceremony of my own...



lol.

Damarco saidI picked this song a long time ago but it has since become a wedding standard: At Last by Etta James.

A great choice!

"Sexy Love" By Ne-Yo. I love his music. This song is slow enough for a wedding but the beat is perfect for a little more than the waltz ;) A boy can dream can't he?!

SAVE THE LAST DANCE FOR ME!!!

Somebody did a brilliant digital re-mastering of the original recording of Louis Armstrong's
It's a Wonderful World.

liftordie saidit will be a toss up.....either

At Last by Etta James

or

Come Away With Me by Norah Jones

... can i resurrect a dead thread?? but omg, I neva thought of 'come away with me' as a possible wedding song but that's the best choice i've read so far.

my choice would have been indigo girls' 'power of two' but now i may just hafta steal your suggestion.

If I could Turn Back Time-Cher

relax

It's a four way tie! There will discussion on this.

Seal - Love's Divine

Marc Dupre - Tout pres du bonheur

George Michael - The first time (ever i saw your face)

Kylie Minogue - The one

ABBA's
Dancing Queen

j/k
I dunno, it changes frequently enough and being single now I'm sure it will again before I make step on to the dance floor.

Call me stupid, but I love this one.

My Best Friend - Tim McGraw


I never had no one
I could count on
Ive been let down so many times
I was tired of hurtin
So tired of searchin
til you walked into my life
It was a feelin
Id never known
And for the first time
I didnt feel alone

Youre more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
I dont know where Id be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
Youre my best friend
Youre my best friend, oh yeah

You stand by me
And you believe in me
Like nobody ever has
When my world goes crazy
Youre right there to save me
You make me see how much I have
And I still tremble
When we touch
And oh the look in your eyes
When we make love

Youre more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I dont know where Id be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
Youre my best friend
Youre my best friend

Youre more than a lover
There could never be another
To make me feel the way you do
Oh we just get closer
I fall in love all over
Everytime I look at you
And I dont know where Id be
Without you here with me
Life with you makes perfect sense
Youre my best friend
Youre my best friend (my best friend)
Youre my best friend (my best friend)

If you've ever seen the movie Trick, it's the song that plays at the end during the credits

Trick of Fate

"We've only just begun" by the carpenters

Mario - Let Me Love You, lol I feel so gay posting this

getfitrick saidMario - Let Me Love You, lol I feel so gay posting this

ah just embrace it....you'll love it...i promise.

This would be Ode to my wedding, to my husband and of course to Olivia, cuz she's one cool gal.

I'd have it all choreographed the same. Can't wait!

I'd play this!

"When I was a lad" From HMS Pinafore.

Just kidding.

I would choose a waltz or rumba song for the first dance. Maybe a tango for the second and then whatever gets people moving.

Not sure if it's really dancable, then again for me nothing really is, but I've always loved the lyrics to "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys.

Probably "My Heat Will Go On" by Celine Dion, not because we love it, but seeing the movie was "Titanic" was our first date.

Another possibility is "Unchained Melody" by The Righteous Brothers. We both love that song.

Blue Rodeo, either Lost Together or Five Days in May
