Wedding songs

[Bigpineguy Retired]

I have been looking and picking songs for our Reception , We picked "Just The Way You Are" by Billy Joel for our first dance ( as Husband and Wife)

I have been looking for others , and thought that I would ask for ideas, We have a d.j. coming, but we wanted to have certain songs that we pick...

Thanks for any input..

congrats, bpg! have a listen to "The Wedding Song" by Peter, Paul & Mary's, Paul Noel Stookey, it is a classic. i don't recommend the song i used when told that i had to sing my favorite song to my bride, reckon that nobody knew how much i loved "Dead Skunk in the Middle of the Road" by Louden Wainwright III. all the best on the big event:yes:
