Sitting here choosing one as we don't have "a song"
Not sure whether to have a slow one or upbeat. All we have so far is Sunshine on Leith .....
I love most Scottish bands, rnb, soul, well most genres actually...help!

Don't Want To Miss A Thing by Aerosmith.
I don't think we picked this for any particular reason, and it has been ruined by being played at several funerals I have been to since.

Best friend by Queen

Westlife Swear it Again. We spent a lot of time apart when we were first together and this became our song. We walked back down the aisle to She's the One by Robbie Williams. Love both songs. I'd do our wedding day all over again if I could. Loved it!

I walked down the aisle to "Little Things" by One Direction. We then exited the ceremony to "I luv u baby" by the Original and then first dance was "Say you won't let go" by James Arthur.

IWouldLikeToKnow · 01/02/2019 21:10

We had "When the Stars Go Blue". A close second was "You Do Something To Me" by Paul Weller. One of my favourite songs ever

Or, if you like Scottish artists, Paolo Nutini has a good selection.

Finlay Quay - love gets sweeter

True Love Ways - Buddy Holly. Wanted something that had already stood the test of time so wouldn't every seem cheesy looking back, and we both love him.

OneInAMillionYou · 01/02/2019 21:23

As per my user name, "One In A Million You" by Larry Graham. The Sam Dees version was also played during the wind down as we were about to leave. Love that song, always will.

DH wanted The Police "Every breath you take" until I reminded him it was a song about stalking!

BotBotticelli · 01/02/2019 22:11

You got the love - Florence and the Machines version

Broken road by the Rascall Flatts. The words were really apt to my situation and the song meant a lot.
