It’s been far too long since I showcased some music on the blog, so today I want to highlight Jon Bon Jovi’s “Thank You For Loving Me”. Two of my oldest friends chose this for their first dance at their wedding five years ago, but I actually think that the would work really well during the signing of the register.

From the film “Moulin Rouge”, Come What May is a perfect romantic song choice for a wedding, either for the first dance or the recessional. I have to admit to being a bit biased, as we had this for our first dance at our wedding, but if you to the lyrics I think it sums up what it means to have found someone to spend the rest of your life with.

Now this might seem a fairly obvious choice, but the first time I heard Take That’s ‘Greatest Day’ I instantly thought how suitable it would be for a wedding. I can easily see this song being used for the first dance, but I think it would be equally suitable for the entrance of the bride. I can just imagine the excitement and anticipation building as the bridesmaids walk down the aisle to the first couple of verses, with the bride making her grand entrance to the chorus as the drums start and the real emotion of the song kicks in. You can listen to the track here .

Ok, so it’s pretty old, but for me the words are so meaningful and sum up what getting married is all about – perfect for a first dance or even for the processional.
