The World at My Fingertips

Thursday Thirteen #6

Posted by: Yuriko on: October 3, 2007

I was thinking about my brother’s wedding last month… and the music they used for their first dance. It was a very nice choice for them… very meaningful. And I thought, What music would I choose for my wedding’s first dance (if I had my way)?

So, here they are:

Thirteen Songs That May Make it to My Wedding Day
  1. This Way by Jewel
  2. Love is in the Air by John Paul Young – from the Strictly Ballroom soundtrack. I love this song! And it’s one of my top picks.
  3. Unchained Melody by the Righteous Brothers – one of the many cliche songs…
  4. Suds in the Bucket by Sara Evans – a good ol’ country song about running away with the love of your life and leaving the laundry for your mom to do.
  5. It’s No Secret Anymore by Linda Eder — a nice jazzy song about telling the world about the love of your life.
  6. Truly by Lionel Richie
  7. Valentine by Martina McBride
  8. All I Ask of You by Sarah Brightman and Cliff Richards — another cliche wedding song.
  9. Simple as a Sunrise by Na Leo Pilimehana
  10. Sway by Michael Buble — very Cha-cha-esque… something I would want to do at the wedding.
  11. Bless the Broken Road by Rascal Flatts — another country song…
  12. I’ll Cover You from the Rent Broadway Cast Recording.
  13. Here With Me by Sarah Brightman. I know Dido did a cover of this song too… but I like Sarah Brightman’s version more for some reason…

i LOVE “i’ll cover you.” it’s such a sweet song. i’m also a sucker for “that’s all i ask of you” even if it is a little bit cliche. :)

have you heard “feels like home”? i love that song, and would definitely consider it for a first dance.

You know, things get cliche because they are so good everyone wants them. Who cares, it’s your wedding! I love them all!
Thanks for visiting my Tolkien TT!

I love Unchained Melody! It’s a favorite of mine! :)

Another vote for Unchained Melody over here :) .

I’m going with Unchained Melody!

Great list! I vote for Unchained Melody ! My T13 is up!

Oh, I really love your choices here. Music is so important in our lives, make us change mood like that :-)

Thanks for stopping by :-)

Interesting list, though the only one I know is Unchained M.

I had “suds in the bucket” played at my reception. i loved that song, it was really our theme song. :-) happy tt!

I always loved the song “At Last”…when I get married again, thats the song I want to play:) Happy TT.

Great list! You may not be able to use them all for your first dance, but I know I have the best time at weddings that feature a lot of slow songs. the Tour Manager’s not much of an uptempo dancer, sad to say.

Happy TT!

Great bunch of songs. I always thought I’d like Anita Baker’s You Bring Me Joy.

Awesome selections for your wedding song! Love them all too:D

Happy TT!

I also love Unchained Melody. fun list!

Come visit my TT :)

Ooo..these songs are nice..

I’m I the only one vote for Love is in the Air? Fabulous song. Truly jubilant for such a happy occasion! I actually had a ceildh (trad Scottish country dance)at my wedding (as a lot of weddings do here!), and so we danced to a trad Scottish waltz. I was so terrified of tripping up. It’s not that easy to dance in such a long dress!
Thanks for visiting my TT, btw.

You can never go wrong with Unchained Melody.

If I believed in marriage, I’ve always liked No Ordinary Love by Sade. Don’t ask me why cuz I won’t have an answer. *grin*

Happy TT

Great list. I have to agree with the “I’ll Cover You”. What a wonderful song.

What great choices.

I think Unchained Melody is a must.

I don’t know many of those besides “Unchained Melody,” which I liked when I was a child, but have heard too many times since then.

It’s great to get exposure to so many things I did NOT know….I’ll check some of these out; who knows?

thanks for visiting cockney rob’s T13….We appreciate it!

I love 6,7,and 11,are you marrying soon or just future planning

What is it with everyone and Unchained Melody? I still think I’ll pick #2… though R will disagree… however..who has the last say in this? :)

We’re planning for next year.. and it probably won’t be a big hoo haw as my brother’s wedding.. just a little celebration at a chinese restaurant the next day for a reception.

Oh, yeah. I’m a BIG Sarah Brightman fan.

When I got married, we used “Our Love is Here to Stay”. And it has! LOL!

Suds in the Bucket is so fun! Great wedding selections.

I love “Unchained Melody”. Have you heard the version by Leanne Rhimes?

Congrats and happy TT.
