JFYI, this is a cover; the original was recorded by the writer, Lucinda Williams, someone worth checking out. Absolute Beginners, David Bowie (from the movie of the same name) is a pretty good song for a wedding too.  I forget the lyrics, but the basic idea is I don’t have much but I’m totally aware that I love only you absolutely. -steven —   "I really liked when she had all those girls over.    That was great." – Bill Clinton, describing his    daughter Chelsea’s 13th birthday weekend

Leigh- I think that the U2 song is a great idea!!!  I personally love the song. My fiance and I have chosen "Not the Only One" by Bonnie Raitt…because it describes our "search for the perfect mate" to a tee, and we finally found it in each other.  I am a big fan of U2 – I don’t think that there is anything wrong with "All I want is You" as a first dance song…if it’s what YOU want, you should do it..suitable or not!!! -Dorene <=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=><=> <=> Dorene E.

My fiance made a tape of "special songs" for me for Valentine’s Day.  It had some traditional type of love songs, but also some a-typical love songs.  I don’t know if these are all appropriate to use for a wedding but these are some of my favorite’s from the tape:     All I Want Is You,  U2       "You say you want diamonds in a ring of gold, your story to remain untold        your love not to grow cold.  All the promises we make from the cradle to        the grave, when All I Want Is You."     Trouble Me, 10,000 Maniacs     Just The Way You Are, Billy Joel     I Will Always Love You, The Cure     Passionate Kisses, Mary Chapin Carpenter         "Is it too much to ask, I want I full house and a rock n roll band.          Food to fill me up, and warm clothes, and all that stuff.  Shouldn’t          I have this, shouldn’t I have this, shouldn’t I have all of this and          Passionate Kisses, oh-oh, Passionate Kisses from you."     Look Heart, No Hands, Randy Travis         "…No doubts, no fears, just like when you are here.  No chains, no          strings, no nets, no walls, just you to catch me when I fall.  Look          Heart, No Hands."  This is a mix of our music tastes.  Lee (my fiance) is into the alternative rock, I’m the county music fan.  Lee always says we never would have met in a music store.  We are going to have a DJ for our reception (I don’t think any band can play U2, The Cure, and Garth Brooks. )  We are still trying to decide on a "first dance" song.  But we have over a year to decide (July 9, 1994)!!!  Are there any opinions out there on the above songs?  My favorite is U2’s All I Want Is You, but is it suitable for our first dance?  What do you all think???
