I'm old school, stuck in the 80's to be fair, rarely listen to any new kind of music! So I guess I'm looking for something that would work as a fantastic song to walk back down the aisle with my new husband.

I like pop, he likes rock....

So far songs we like but have decided not quite right are:

Love Shack (B52's)
Groove is in the Heart (Deelite)
Never Gonna Give you Up (Rick)
Don't stop Believing (Journey)
Everywhere (Fleetwood Mac)

We can't use 'happy' as used by a friend...

Does anyone have any other suggestions of something that is uplifting, fun and will make us and our guests smile?

Running out of options and wedding in 2 weeks!

Would be really grateful for any suggestions new, old, classics, out there!

Thank you so much!

We had Elvis, "A little less conversation - a little more action please"

If you and oh have slightly different music tastes - do you share a favourite film with a good soundtrack?
Mine is Pulp Fiction and I kind of like the idea of You Never Can Tell - Chuck Berry as a first dance (complete with THE dance of course)

Marry You Bruno Mars
Going To The Chapel The Dixie Cups

Through the barricades- Spandau Ballet

The walk back is surprisingly quick as you aren't 'processing' so you need something with immediate impact. 'Everybody Dance Now!!' If you want a really upbeat mood.

I had Thinking of you by sister sledge

About 1 minute in

Such a feel good song and the lyrics are perfect

@candyflosstheboss
Probably not the best suggestion.
Highway to hell, by acdc ?

Hawkins0009 · 07/09/2023 01:03

Elvis Presley, suspicious minds,

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 07/09/2023 01:19

We had You've Got the Love by Florence and the Machine.

BernadetteRostankowskiWolowitz · 07/09/2023 01:19

We had You've Got the Love by Florence and the Machine.

Although the first song comes to mind is seven devils

Jamietarttdoodoodoodoo · 07/09/2023 03:35

WhatWouldTheDoctorDo · 06/09/2023 23:36

Better Together by Jack Johnson.

This would be my choice too!

trulyunruly01 · 07/09/2023 04:14

If you're both 80s music people, then remind yourself of 'You're the One for Me' by D Train.
The intro lulls people into thinking it's all swishy and romantic then - bam.

Tezza1 · 07/09/2023 04:27

We May Never Pass This Way Again, by Seals and Crofts.
Speaking of Fleetwood Mac, so many I would happily have had. Wish I'd had the courage to use "Leather & Lace". Schlocky, probably, but I loved it when when first came out, love it just as much now.

Ringonrighthand · 07/09/2023 04:35

We had “The Locomotion”, the original version. As a Pp said tho the walk back down is very quick and everyone was clapping so you didn’t really hear it!

RunningAwayToJoinTheCircus · 07/09/2023 04:38

Walking on Sunshine, but the one by Rockers Revenge, not the Katrina one.

Judashascomeintosomemoney · 07/09/2023 04:38

Not 80s, but, Hoppipolla is so joyful.

BeeVer · 07/09/2023 04:48

Weezer - Buddy Holly

charabang · 07/09/2023 04:49

Love will keep us together- Captain &Tenille

HectorSalamanca · 07/09/2023 04:59

Must Be Love by Madness (or Labi Siffrie)

Fourecks · 07/09/2023 06:39

I was also going to suggest 500 Miles by the Proclaimers

ALittleBitAhAh · 07/09/2023 06:59

We had Pete Townsend, Let my love open the door. Let us know what you choose. Enjoy your wedding day ❤️

ISeeMisledPeople · 07/09/2023 07:22

Have you been together for ten years? I know it's unlikely, but if you have then 10 years by Dadi Freyr would be perfect.
