Wedding Songs?

So it looks like I have convinced my future wife to walk out during the reception to a PJ song and maybe end the reception with a PJ song. I have ideas for both, but would love other ideas. Also any songs you think I could maybe recommend for our first dance would be appreciated. I don't think I can pull that off but worth a try. Right now we are dancing to a Stand song, which I like, but why not try! I am also going to try to play some PJ Piano music I have during cocktail hour!

    I already told my fiance that 'Yellow Ledbetter' will be the last song played at our wedding.

    Last song of our medley on Oct 22 2011 (yes I'm this traditional... PJ 21 year anniversary).

    It also is our first bridging song (I mean) she knew this song from Friends last episode. I knew this song from my PJ obsession.

    Our whole reception dinner had nothing but Pearl Jam songs...We had to make a disc for the dj so he didn't screw it up...Wedding party was introduced to Sympathy for the Devil and of course the last song of the night had to be YLB....I'll never forget how excited my wife and I were when we realized it was our wedding and we could play what ever the hell we wanted..No matter what, enjoy your day.
    I ain't got no fly'n shoes..

    I think "Longing to Belong" would be a beautiful wedding song.
    My last message to you ~

    You're right. You are a monster! You are sick! Get help!

    At least, I am not a fuck-up! A lying fuck-up!

    Some people think it is a somber song, but I think Just Breathe is an incredible love song. Seriously I have been brought to tears by it's sweetness. Just whatever you do and whatever you choose, consider reading the lyrics first.

    Around The Bend was the last dance at my wedding reception. :mrgreen:
    I would recommend Parachutes or Tulomne (from Into The Wild).

    Not PJ ... others here covering that

    maybe not your first dance

    this song from a past generation but the words are life itself

    filled with the hope and love of today
    and a message for tomorrow

    the Grandmas and Grandpas will enjoy ... maybe not a dry eye amoung them...

    not mine either, each time I listen :D

    I kinda picture my wedding with piano/organ playing during the church service. And during the party let it all go out (guitars, bass, drums etc..) but there won't be any singing. I like the whole instrumental atmosphere when I'm at these events. Talk amongst your friends & family. Cause there will alway's be a few who can't stand the singing, but don't mind the musical playing in the background. Though I already know there will be a lot of Greek music playing @ my wedding, so I will have to get some of those Pearl Jam songs in there somehow. Will be tough, but i'll try my best.

    eddie does a cover of the elvis song "fools rush in" (i think that's what it is called), the one that goes "i can't help falling in love with you..." great song, he sings it beautifully

    Surprised no ones mentioned Thin Air, seems like the ideal wedding song to me.
    32 shows and counting...

    It's nice to see a thread about wedding song suggestions that do not include Betterman and Just Breathe.

    My wife are from different parts of the country and rather than make guests travel to one site or the other, we had 2 weddings, one in KC (at Arrowhead) and one in NJ. We came out to Interstate Love Song by STP and closed with YL at both receptions. All of the guests arm over arm on the dance floor in a circle with us dancing in the middle of it.

    Not to rain on anybody's parade ... but isn't Long Road, which is a funeral song, pretty damn morbid for a wedding?

    Although, having been married for 10 years myself, maybe a funeral song is the most appropriate song of all :D
