November 4th, 2009 — ideas, music, our wedding, planning
Sooooo… I’ve been thinking.
I figured that since we “only” need about 100 songs to more than cover the duration of our wedding reception, I’m going to try and compile a playlist.
And this is where you come in.
This is a list of about 60 performers and a few songs that I have already thought of, and I’m going to be adding to it slowly- what I would like is suggestions from y’all as to what else to add! And you don’t have to stick to the artists on this list as I may very possibly have left some out.
Leave your list in the comments on this post!

July 26th, 2009 — cute stuff, ideas, music, outrageous ideas
July 12th, 2009 — music, our wedding, wedding reception
Glugs and I are currently making a list of songs and bands/ singers that we do NOT want to hear at our wedding.
Originally, we were thinking of hiring a
big band for the night, a’la
Glenn Miller, but they are not only hard to find- space at the venue would also be an issue… so we’ll probably go with a “DJ” of some sort.
The music and the dancing is VERY important to both of us, so this is a big part of our planning process.
Luckily we have such wide and varied music tastes between the two of us that there’s a lot we like- compiling a list though, would be all but impossible. So we decided to make a list of what we don’t like instead, and we’ll give whoever handles the music strict instructions NOT to play anything off this list- even if its requested.
So far the performer’s list includes Rod Stewart, Roxette, Mandoza, Johnny Clegg, The Village People and Las Ketchup.
The song list has on it: “Bed Of Roses“, “Macarena“, the chicken dance, “Cotton-Eyed Joe” and “Zorba the Greek“.
Can you think of anything else…?
We’re also not having anyone sing at our wedding.
Under any circumstances.
Its something that doesn’t appeal to either of us, so its a definite no-no.

Brides and grooms, just a little suggestion.
When you’re planning the sequence of events for your wedding- and if you’re planning on having a dancefloor, then open the dancefloor as soon as possible.
Waiting until after you’ve spoken to everyone at the tables, and thrown the garter, and thrown the flowers, and after everyone’s eaten is just too long.
People get fidgety, and may even start to leave once they’ve had a meal and a chance to congratulate the couple.
Just a hint.

So, how many times have you been to a wedding and heard the same Shania Twain song…? I love that song- but it’s been used to death I think!
Here are a few suggestions of songs I’ve heard with absolutely beautiful lyrics… And remember- you don’t have to use the original if you don;’t like the artist- get someone to sing it for you!
Tina Arena & Marc Anthony
I Want To Spend My Lifetime Loving You
Moon so bright night so fine
Keep your heart here with mine
Life’s a dream we are dreaming
Race the moon catch the wind
Ride the night to the end
Seize the day stand up for the light
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
Heroes rise heroes fall
Rise again, win it all
In your heart, can’t you feel the glory
Through our joy, through our pain
We can move worlds again
Take my hand, dance with me
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you
Though we know we will never come again
Where there is love, life begins
Over and over again
Save the night, save the day
Save the love, come what may
Love is worth everything we pay
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I want to spend my lifetime loving you
If that is all in life I ever do
I will want nothing else to see me through
If I can spend my lifetime loving you

I’m Flying Without Wings
Everybody’s looking for that something
One thing that makes it all complete
You’ll find it in the strangest places
Places you never knew it could be
Some find it in the face of their children
Some find it in their lover’s eyes
Who can deny the joy it brings
When you’ve found that special thing
You’re flying without wings
Some find it sharing every morning
Some in their solitary lives
You’ll find it in the words of others
A simple line can make you laugh or cry
You’ll find it in the deepest friendship
The kind you cherish all your life
And when you know how much that means
You’ve found that special thing
You’re flying without wings
So, impossible as it may seem
You’ve got to fight for every dream
Cos who’s to know which one you let go
Would have made you complete
Well, for me it’s waking up beside you
To watch the sunrise on your face
To know that I can say I love you
In any given time or place
It’s little things that only I know
Those are the things that make you mine
And it’s like flying without wings
Cos you’re my special thing
I’m flying without wings
And you’re the place my life begins
And you’ll be where it ends
I’m flying without wings
And that’s the joy you bring
I’m flying without wings

I Wanna Grow Old With You
Another day without your smile
Another day just passes by
But now I know how much it means
For you to stay right here with me
The time we spent apart will make our love grow stronger
But it hurts so bad I can’t take it any longer
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your eyes
I wanna be there for you, sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you
A thousand miles between us now
It causes me to wonder how
Our love tonight remains so strong
It makes our risk right all along
The time we spent apart will make our love grow stronger
But it hurt so bad I can’t take it any longer
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your eyes
I wanna be there for you, sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you
Things can come and go
I know but
Baby I believe
Something’s burning strong between us
Makes it clear to me
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna die lying in your arms
I wanna grow old with you
I wanna be looking in your eyes
I wanna be there for you, sharing everything you do
I wanna grow old with you
