Well I don't, but my best friend does - i'm her maid of honour and she's getting married in 3.5 weeks. She and her fiance do not have a "song" of their own and need something nice and not too cheesy to dance their first dance to. HELP!

Grow Old With Me - John Lennon

Mary Chapin Carpenter does a really pretty version -- that's the one that we danced to at our wedding.

"In My Life" by the Beatles. A bit old fashioned for some, but that's what dh and I picked.

You can download it from Amazon because I can't find the CD anywhere. I paid $9.99 for her whole CD on there then burned it to listen to in my car.

Wow-some awesome suggestions from pp's!

Dh and I eloped, but our song at the time was "Perdido Sin Ti (Lost without you)" by Ricky Martin. (fyi-there's like a minute of static at the beginning of the video-intentionally)

I always said for a giggle if we ever did a ceremony it should be "She's no lady, she's my wife" by Lyle Lovett!

Another (more traditional) fave is "By Your Side" by Sade

I also LOOOVE "Sweet Pea" by Amos Lee.

Forever's as far as I'll go, by Alabama was ours. It's a great song and not too country-ish. I'll be back later with more.

Power of Two by Indigo Girls

Wedding Song by Tracy Chapman.

i've been having dreams and visions
in them you are always standing
right beside me
i reach out for your hand
to see your arms extending
outstretched towards me

for you i don the veil
by your light
others pale by comparison
i place my faith in love
my fate in this communion

i've been having dreams and visions
in them you are always standing
right beside me
i reach out for your hand
to see your arms extending
outstretched towards me

to you i give my pledge
i honor all that's good
in this life we're living
to think not only of myself
but of the greater union

can i get a witness
there is salvation and rapture for the lonely
can i get a witness
bless this day sacred and holy
sacred and holy

i've been having dreams and visions
in them you are always standing
right beside me
i reach out for your hand
to see your arms extending
outstretched towards me

with you i am revealed
all my shame all my faults and virtues
behold body mind and spirit
heart and soul devoted all to you

can i get a witness
bless this day sacred and holy
sacred and holy
