I need a few ideas for wedding songs,

Have picked the song "one thing" by finger 11 for the bride to walk down the aisle to - but Im stuck for ideas on the signing song and walking back down the aisle.

We're looking for classic rock/pop, soft rock and rock ballad types.

Not keen on aerosmith, celine dion and shania twain either - sooooo overdone.

    How about the theme from Star Wars?

    Thanks for the suggestion but we're really not sci-fi fans.

    Walking back down the aisle - "She's Got Legs" by ZZ top
  4. Sam1982
    I was actually thinking of that - but after all it would draw attention to her legs that would more than likely be covered by her dress.

      True, but it'd still be cute.

    Collide - Howie Day

    I Only Want To Be With You - Vonda Shepard

    I Finally Found Someone - Bryan Adams and Barbara Streisand

    When You Love Someone - Bryan Adams

    I like the Bryan adams Idea - my fiance is also thinking of phil collins too but dunno if any of his really fit

      Phil Collins may make your wedding sound like a Disney Movie..!

      phil collins is rubbish

    You'll Be in My Heart - Phil Collins

    cute song!

    I'll have to take a look at that one.

    We were also trying to add a bit of an inside joke also, Mrs Robinson was one being a bit of an age gap - also billy idol white wedding was another idea. Just something for a bit of shock value

      LOL

      you can add: baby, now that i found you - the foundations

      not funny, but the tempo is upbeat

    Always Be My Baby - David Cook

    All these I listed are my personal faves. =)

    Thanks for the ideas - some I havent heard of but I'll still see if i can source them out - any idea is better than nothing.
    I think an upbeat tempo would be ideal on the way back down

    You can download all of them from LIMEWIRE. You're welcome! NP

    Theres a law being put in place with file sharing here - limewire is being targeted. If you're caught they shut off your net connection

    I would suggest "Into the Mystic" by Van Morrison

    and "Northern Sky" by Nick Drake.

    And I would not discount "Open Arms" by Journey. LOL!

    "Grow Old Along With Me" - John Lennon (I like the one in the Anthology box set).
    "I'll Be There" - Jackson Five
    "Peaceful Easy Feeling" - Eagles
    "We've Only Just Begun" - Carpenters

    I suppose "Eve of Destruction" would be sending the wrong message

    how about Wind beneath my wings by Bette Midler?
  20. MadameX
    This is the single best wedding song ever written. You've probably never heard of it: www.margaretowens.com/discography/mp3/promise.mp3

    Our first dance was "Just You and I" by Eddie Rabbit and Crystal Gayle. Not exactly rock, but romantic....
  22. aningeniousname
    How about the Benny Hill theme song for walking back down the aisle? You could have the bridesmaids in lingerie chase you back down the aisle, where you have strategically positioned small bald men at the end of each row so you can slap their heads as you pass.
    1. busylizzy
      LOL!!!!!!
    2. kriztinac
      silly! lol
  23. thetravellerreturns

    live forever - oasis

    I don't know about rock-a-bye wedding songs, but I'd be inclined to use "Taps."
    1. drjay1966
      Good one!
  26. educatedvagabond
    "Universe & U" by KT Turnstall. I've always wanted that to be my first dance song...but I think I need to stay in one place long enough to have a relationship first.
  27. drjay1966
    Venus in Furs-the Velvet Underground
    Bad Boys Get Spanked-the Pretenders

    Love by John Lennon

    Love is real, real is love,
    Love is feeling, feeling love,
    Love is wanting to be loved.
    Love is touch, touch is love,
    Love is reaching, reaching love,
    Love is asking to be loved.
    Love is you,
    You and me,
    Love is knowing,
    We can be.
    Love is free, free is love,
    Love is living, living love,
    Love is needing to be loved.
