    We've half decided on Greatest Day - Take That has it's got memories of when we first got together but then so does use somebody Kings of Leon, that's our song too! BUT I want the song out of 'The Wedding Singer' called growing old with you that he sings to her on the plane. The words are just fab and it's got a bit of a comedy factor about it, we always sing it to each other lol ....go on you tube and look for it, it's great!

    We are having 'Mountains' by Biffy Clyro - I really want the acoustic version (which has a piano and a female backing singer) but I think that may be too slow

    we were going to have Paul Weller-You're the Best Thing-but then we heard Nickelback-Never gonna be alone. It did that hair standy-up thing and made me want to cry-and Paul felt the same so it's probably going to be that one

    we have changed ours to - I wana know what love is...

    Gotta take a little time
    A little time to think things over
    I better read between the lines
    In case I need it when I'm older

    This mountain I must climb
    Feels like a world up on my shoulders
    Through the clouds I see love shine
    It keeps me warm as life grows colder

    In my life there's been heartache and pain
    I don't know if I can face it again
    Can't stop now, I've travelled so far
    To change this lonely life

    I want to know what love is
    I want you to show me
    I want to feel what love is
    I know you can show me

    I'm gonna take a little
    A little time to look around me
    I've got nowhere left to hide
    It looks like love has finally found me

    In my life there's been heartache and pain
    I don't know if I can face it again
    Can't stop now, I've travelled so far
    To change this lonely life

    I want to know what love is
    I want you to show me
    I want to feel what love is
    I know you can show me

    Not chosen the music to walk down the aisle to yet - but think we're sticking to tradition and having the wedding march. As for first dance - we're not having one, as we're having a small wedding (20 of us) and our reception is a three course meal in the restaurant followed by hotel bar in the evening. Maybe if we have a party back in Leeds after our honeymoon we might consider one...

    If I get my string quarted I was gonna walk either in or out to here,there and everywhere by the beatles as Dave doesn't want a beatles song as first dance.
    He wants stand by me by ben e king which john lennon also covered so I think we'll go with that
    but I'd love 'make me feel your love' it's a bob dylan song but covered by adele the words are beautiful x

    we are having 'amazed' by Lonestone, it was the song i fell in love with my h2b too, we used to go out driving listening to music and would just park up listen and sing to music .. cheesy i know lol, but we had no money go anywhere, and both sets of parents were quite strict!!

    Dean sang this to me quite often, and it was when this song played once that i knew i loved him and told him.

    Then at a friends wedding i finally got him up on the dance floor to have OUR first dance together (after 3 years of being together) and as soon as we stepped on the dancefloor, this song came on... so its fate .. this is our song lol

    i thought more people would have had it as their song, as it is quite a popular one for weddings
