Song: Angus & Julia Stone – Big Jet Plane

Super excited that I’ve found another song that could work as a wedding song. Those interested in indie music will love this one. Angus & Julia Stone are a brother-sister duo from Sydney, Australia. Their song “Big Jet Plane” is perfect…I can tell if I’ll love a song just by listening to the first 7 [...]



Mat Kearney - Closer to Love
Mat Kearney – Closer to Love

I rarely find songs that I love. But when I do, I become dedicated to it. This means I play it over and over and OVER again until I get sick of it. If it’s good enough, I’ll find a way to incorporate it into a wedding, either during a ceremony, cocktails, dinner music or [...]

Moonlight Serenade
Moonlight Serenade

One of my wedding obsession readers, Gilkana, shared with me this beautiful song “Moonlight Serenade” performed by the Glenn Miller Orchestra. The song inspired her to choose a 40s theme for her upcoming wedding. This could be used as a song during cocktails, dinner and would be great for a first dance.

Thanks for the suggestion [...]

It has been a LONG time since I’ve posted a first dance song, since I’ve put off choosing music for my ceremony & reception until closer to may of next year. Now normally I’m not a fan of country music, I think this particular song would be a perfect choice for any bride. Brad Paisley [...]



Beyonce - Halo
Beyonce – Halo

Ok..while I try not to choose songs that are too mainstream..I can’t help but post Halo by Beyonce. I just keep listening to it over and over again. The video & the lyrics are just too sweet!

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they’re tumbling down
And they didn’t even put up a fight
They didn’t even make [...]



Tom Baxter - Better
Tom Baxter – Better

Thanks to Gilkana for sending this to me! Lovely lyrics and beautiful song. I’ve added it to the First Dance Playlist up top.
The official video – it’s really cute.

Our love has changed,
It’s not the same,
And the only way to say it
Is say it .. it’s better.
I can’t concede,
This way I feel,
For all the time [...]



Jon McLaughlin - Smack Into You
Jon McLaughlin – Smack Into You

I’m a big fan of Jon Mclaughlin and of of my favorite songs is “Smack Into You.” It might sound familiar because Beyonce has the same song, but by a different name, “Smash Into You. Regardless, both versions are great for a first dance.

Head down as I watch my feet take turns hitting the ground
