    We had the waterboys 'how long will I love you'. My hubby's granny taught us how to do a quick-step to it.

    See if the band can do a version of 'Only You' by the Platters in their own style.

    We had Elbow "a day like this".

    We didnt really have a song that was "ours" or that meant something to us, but we picked this and now when we hear it it brings us back to our wedding day.

    I was at a wedding where they played that as the couple walked back down the aisle and there wasn't a dry eye in the house. I cry at weddings at the best of times so this turned me into a hysterical mess!

    This wasn't used as a first dance song but my cousin,s better half walked up the aisle to 1,000 years from the Twillight movie, beautiful song, wasn't a dry eye in the church and suited the occasion as they had been together for ages!

    I quite like the idea of using Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros - Home. Its a lovely song and great meaning.
    Mitch and Cam used an instrumental version in Modern family as they walked up the aisle.

    Is Ellie Goulding popular then? Have people gone totally tone deaf?

    God bless me then! Great crack sing a long songs though. The Whole of the Moon would be a significant emotive song for lots of people in their 40s 50s. Don't know if any bands would do covers now. You need banjoes and accordions to do Waterboys numbers. Two guitars and a drum kit wouldn't do at all!

    Getting married in 3 weeks time and we have asked the band if they can play The Ramones-Baby I love you. We're not sure if it will be better live or would it be better on cd but they band said that they can play it so we'll see how it goes!
