Wedding Song of the Week: Lucky Man

by on August 12, 2011

Certain songs from certain times of life just sort of make my stomach flutter…and this is one of them. My husband danced to this song with his mom and step-mom*, though I think it can work just as well for a first-dance song. *Helpful Hint: If you’re a bride or groom and have a step-parent, instead of having a separate first-dance song with them, prevent guests from being bored to first-dance tears by splitting the song. My husband danced the first half of this song with his biological mother, and the second half with his step-mom.

Wedding Song of the Week: Covers of Sweet Child O’ Mine

by on August 5, 2011

This is one of those songs that the instant it comes on, everybody (including your Uncle) is going to recognize it. While I love the original, and have even been known to break out into a full-blown Axl impersonation when it comes on (who doesn’t?!), there’s something about covers of this song that I like even more…especially for weddings. There are two versions here…

The first one is from the Vitamin String Quartet, which if you haven’t heard of them before, check out their YouTube page for lots of great wedding cover options. This song could be a fun choice for your processional, your groom’s, or the wedding party’s.

This other cover, by the band Luna, is one of my favorites. I think it’s a great first dance option…

Wedding Song of the Week: Into the Mystic

by on July 22, 2011

This has to rank up there as being one of my all-time favorite songs. I first heard it in that late 80′s movie with Glenn Close, James Woods, Mary Stuart Masterson, and Kevin Dillon called Immediate Family. (Seriously, I think I’ve seen every random movie ever made between 1985-1995.) Anyway, I really liked that movie and loved the scene(s) this song appears in. Of course, I got way more into Van Morrison as I got older, but this song has always stuck with me. I lobbied pretty hard to make this our wedding song, but the hubs hates the lyric “rock your gypsy soul,” so no Van for me. Sigh.

I think this would be a gorgeous first dance song, or a wonderful father/daughter, mother/son song.

Wedding Song of the Week: Please, Please, Please…

by on July 12, 2011

It’s not just because The Smith’s are my husband’s favorite band (next to Guided By Voices), but “Please, Please, Please Let Me Get What I Want” is one of my all-time favorite songs. The hubs walked down the aisle to the instrumental version of this (by The Dream Academy, also below). I think the original would make a great first-dance song.

The instrumental version, by The Dream Academy.
