Looking for a song to walk back down the aisle to after getting married...

Obviously want something happy/uplifting to make everyone smile and ready to party - not too concerned about the lyrics (within reason)

Suggestions please ?

this is nice and happy and sweet without being toooo mushy and it has the words 'i do' in it

how about Crash by the Primitives?

don't know if it's wedding-friendly exactly considering some of the lyrics but it's very happy and upbeat sounding and always makes me smile

We walked back down to "The Sweetest Feeling" by Jackie Wilson.

Its lovely and every time I hear it I smile.



Or you could be really cheeky and have "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" by Stevie Wonder. DH overuled this option for us but I snuck it in later.

I have suffered regularly since the same age, my consultant mentioned it might be something to do with becoming sexually active at around the same time (i know it was quite young!) anyway i always get up to wee after sex, oh so romantic. and also my consultant told me you need to alkalise your wee, make it less acidic. he suggested, and it works for me and its the same thing as the barley water, to put half teaspoon of bicarbonate soda in a glass of water. tastes revolting i know. and you probably already know this but to keep drinking, although that's the last thing you want to do when weeing hurts so much.
have you tried the cranberry capsules? juice never worked for me but the capsules did but i had to take them regularly and for a long time. I would def push for a referral to a urologist. i had undiagnosed reflux they think since i was very young and it scarred one of my kidneys. it meant i had recurring infections.
hope that helps. i know that hideous pain.
