For our bridal dance we will foxtrot to Ella Fitzgerald singing "Love Is Here To Stay"  ("The rockies may crumble, Gibraltar may tumble, they’re only made of clay; but our love is here to stay…"). We will probably combine the bride/father, groom/mother dance since my fiance is not very keen on being on the dance floor and in the spotlight (it was all I could do to get him to agree to dancing to begin with .  I’m leaning towards "Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler on the Roof.  It’s probably over-done, and it doesn’t fit in with our jazz/big band dance music, but I’ve always loved that song since the fifth grade when I first heard it. Good luck — Audrey Forster

Shameless/Billy Joel When You Wish Upon A Star/??? (I’m not sure who sings that as a real song) First Time/Surface Beauty and The Beast from the Disney Album/Peabo Bryson (?) and Celine Dion >bride and her father, >groom and his mother,

Evergreen The Time of Our Lives Wind Beneath my Wings You Decorate My Life >etc.?  My finacee and I are having an extensive debate about >what to choose, and she asked me to ask all of you about >what you chose or have seen done.

When we were choosing songs for the bridal dance and for the bridal party dance, we tried to choose songs that no one *ever* chooses. – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text ->Thanks! >– >John Senger                     Jackie >If we weren’t all crazy, we would go insane

Well, after long hard though Dan and I have picked all of the ‘honor dance’ music for our wedding.  We will be having ballroom dancing with mostly 40’s and 50’s music.  Our dance together is a waltz to "Hello Young Lovers" from "The King and I" I knew that I would cry my eyes out if I danced with my dad to anything even moderatly serious so I chose an old 1940’s song called "Daddy" that I think is hilarious.  The lyrics go like this: Daddy, I want a diamond ring, and bracelets, everything oh, Daddy, you want to get the best for me Daddy, Won’t I look good in sables and clothes with Paris labels? oh Daddy, you want to get the best for me Daddy, I want a brand new car and champagne, caviar oh, Daddy, you want to get the best for me We heard it first at a play my parents took us to and it has been stuck in my head ever since, when I finaly heard it on record I knew that it was perfect at a father/daughter dance, especially for a spoiled rotten baby like me! Dan is leaning heavily toward "My Mama Done Told Me." for his dance with his mom just to stay on the same cutsie/silly theme.  We have a recording of it by a man, so it goes: A woman’s a two face, a curious thing that’ll leave you to sing the blues.  instead of being "a man is a two face…" Oher than that we are looking for a dj with oldies music, or we may end up using our own, Dan’s dad has a huge library of original and reproduction oldies music.  We plan on doing a lot of waltz, foxtrot, swing, cha-cha, tango, and rhumba.  No shag though, I gave myself a nasty case of tendonitis in my hip doing the shag.
