We danced to Remember Me This Way by Jordan Hill ... because I like the film Casper 😂 I didn't want to do a whole reception thing as we wanted to elope but family demanded a party. The song was oddly prophetic as I became disabled within 18 months of marriage 😆

All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera, the Jackie Evancho version.

We had our wedding in one country and a party in DH's country, so we effectively had two "first dance" songs. One of them is potentially outing but the other was 'At Last' by Eva Cassidy. I like the Etta James version, too, but I think we went for Eva Cassidy because it felt a bit more romantic - and maybe because it's shorter?!

Didn't have a first dance - no evening "do". Thank goodness - still so pleased we didn't go for that.

OK..?

We had You Do Something To Me by Paul Wellar. It was a great day and night! Enjoyed every minute.

To Make You Feel My Love, Garth Brooks version

The Proclaimers - Sunshine on Leith because we had a Hibs theme (DH's team, my something blue was a Rangers garter that he found out about once we were in our hotel room for the night Grin).

We had Goo Goo Dolls - Iris as our second dance with the bridal party etc because that's the song I was really wanting as first dance so we had both.

I like this. There’s a time I might have chosen it.

Someone Like You by Van Morrison

I walked down the aisle to this...love it ❤
We had a song by Richard Ashcroft called You On My Mind In My Sleep, hardly anyone knew it but it's quite special to us!

We had Elbow One Day Like This then Sam Cooke That's Where It's At

"Good riddance (time of your life ) by Green Day 😂"

Surely that's a funeral song 🤔

‘Unpredictable but in the end it’s right’ could describe a lot of relationships 🤷‍♀️
