To ask you to please help me find a wedding song?

[candyflosstheboss]

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 'You Make My Dreams Come True' by Hall and Oats, which was brilliant - although for a bit of fun I would have loved 'Happy To Be Stuck With You' by Huey Lewis and the News!

I wanted Don't Stop Me Now by Queen, but DH vetoed it. We went for Lovefool by the Cardigans in the end.

Imagine Dragons - On Top of the World

Wow im going to have a busy day some brill songs and lots of new ones I haven't heard of!!!!

Thank you so much for all your suggestions!

To the person what mentioned soundtracks, we are having Star Wars love theme played whilst signing register, he is a fan!

And highway to hell...that is in there as a possibility!

Will revert back when I have had a listen to all!

We had been together for a long time when we got married so had You're my best friend by Queen to walk in to. Then It must be Love by Madness, would have liked the Labi Siffre version but worried it would make us a bit emotional. Then Signed, Sealed, Delivered by Stevie Wonder. One we would have liked to have had were limited for time was Do I Love You (Indeed I Do) by Frank Wilson.

Oh and we had Happy by Pharrell Williams, Happy to walk out to.

True Companion by Marc Cohn

You need to listen to it, its beautiful

Baby, I've been searching like everybody else
Can't say nothing different about myself
Sometimes I'm an angel and sometimes I'm cruel
And when it comes to love, I'm just another fool
Yes, I'll climb a mountain
I'm gonna swim the sea
There ain't no act of God, girl
Could keep you safe from me
My arms are reaching out
Out across this canyon
I'm asking you to be my true companion
True companion
True companion
So don't you dare and try to walk away
I've got my heart set on our wedding day
I've got this vision of a girl in white
Made my decision that it's you alright
When I take your hand
I'll watch my heart set sail
I'll take my trembling fingers
And I'll lift up your veil
Then I'll take you home
And with wild abandon
Make love to you just like a true companion
You are my true companion
I got a true companion
Oh, a true companion
When the years have done irreparable harm
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like that couple on the corner do, 'cause
Girl I will always be in love with you
When I look in your eyes
I'll still see that spark
Until the shadows fall
Until the room grows dark
Then when I leave this Earth
I'll be with the angels standin'
I'll be out there waiting for my true companion
Just for my true companion
True companion
True companion

@ALittleBitAhAh love that song!!

We walked out to James Brown I feel good

For typical 80s Africa by Toto 😀

I agree with @321Bed though "happy to be stuck with you"
would be great.

We used Walking on the Milky Way by OMD. You can have that, I don't think many others will have used it, it's a cool song and it has that little organ bit at the start.

My mate played AC/DC's Highway to He'll at his wedding, then, at his 25th anniversary he played AC/DC's He'll Ain't a Bad Place To Be 🤣

We had 'a whiter shade of pale' great organ intro - it's a classic but not 80s

You're My Best Friend - Queen

Together Forever - Rick Astley; Glory of Love - Peter Cetera; I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do - Abba (I know it's 70s, but it's still great!); I Think I Love You - Voice of the Beehive; Keep On Loving You - REO Speedwagon; You Make My Dreams - Hall & Oates; The Power of Love - Huey Lewis and the News.
My personal favourite is Glory of Love, but you can't beat a great 80s tune!

We had " It must be love" by Madness but played on a harp!!

Or Lovely Day by Bill Withers or Ain't No Stoppin' Us Now - McFadden and Whitehead

Happy Together, by the Turtles

Queen - Don't Stop Me Now

Tonight I'm gonna have myself a real good time
I feel alive
And the world I'll turn it inside out, yeah
I'm floating around in ecstasy
So, (don't stop me now)
(Don't stop me)
'Cause I'm having a good time, having a good time
I'm a shooting star leaping through the sky like a tiger
Defying the laws of gravity
I'm a racing car passing by like Lady Godiva
I'm gonna go, go, go, there's no stopping me
I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah
200 degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm travelling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you
(Don't stop me now)
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
(Don't stop me now)
If you wanna have a good time
Just give me a call
(Don't stop me now)
'Cause I'm having a good time
(Don't stop me now)
Yes, I'm havin' a good time
I don't want to stop at all, yeah
I'm a rocket ship on my way to Mars on a collision course
I am a satellite I'm out of control
I am a sex machine ready to reload like an atom bomb
About to oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, explode
I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah
200 degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit
I'm travelling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic woman of you
(Don't stop me, don't stop me, don't stop me) Hey, hey, hey
(Don't stop me, don't stop me, ooh, ooh, ooh) I like it
(Don't stop me, don't stop me) Have a good time, good time
(Don't stop me, don't stop me) Woah
Let loose, honey, all right
Oh, I'm burnin' through the sky, yeah
200 degrees, that's why they call me Mister Fahrenheit (hey)
I'm travelling at the speed of light
I wanna make a supersonic man out of you (hey, hey)
(Don't stop me now)
I'm having such a good time
I'm having a ball
(Don't stop me now)
If you wanna have a good time (ooh, alright)
Just give me a call
(Don't stop me now)
'Cause I'm having a good time (hey, hey)
(Don't stop me now)
Yes, I'm havin' a good time
I don't want to stop at all
Ah, da, da, da, da
Da, da, ah, ah
Ah, da, da, ah, ah, ah
Ah, da, da
Ah, da, da, ah, ah
Ooh, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

What day of the week? If it's a Friday - Friday I'm in love!

Though personally I'm having Mendelssohn or Handel (church)

When You Smile by Shirley Bassey is very jolly and fun.
