i want to play this song for my wedding.. what do you think?

I think they would love it but maybe you should say it to them first, they might get very emotional if they hear the sing without any warning, its a beautiful song and will really suit the occasion, especially as it has a special meaning for you and your family.

OOoooooh my specialty! :D Really depends on the diversity of attendants to the reception. For instance you don't want grannies and grandpas dancing to rump shakin booty music that might scare the wrinkles off of 'em, nor do you want the little ones seeing mommy and daddy dance "like that" during those songs either. Really the best thing to do is think about who you are as a couple, the types of music you like together and then select the most popular *clean* songs you can. Stay away from the sickeningly sweet songs like: I Will Always Love You The Theme from Robin Hood In Your Eyes - just don't. It's wrong for so many reasons. In general any other song that talks of leaving and getting back together or heart break wrapped in chocolate silk lyrics. Do play songs that you guys have good memories from. For instance if you go to a lot of baseball games you could have your own 7th inning stretch - Take me out to the ballgame. At Last by Etta James is a really great love song to play. Maybe some Outkast if you really wanna shake, but get the radio edits. ;) And wait till Granny takes her nap. Your DJ should have a catalog of songs that you can look through. You obviously have internet access, make copies or ask for a copy and then research the lyrics online. Just to be sure that your choices won't offend anyone nor will you inadvertantly pick something that you remember being a great song but forgot the TRUE meaning of the words. Good luck!!

I'm not sure. My sister had a song called the power of your love sung at her wedding while she signed the registry. This song was the song that was played at my our dads funeral who died 18 years ago.

When me and my other sister heard it it reduced us to a blubbering mess. Then we had people who we didn't know come up to us and scold us for being so rude... Which made it even worse!!

I think you should ask your other family members about it first and see how they feel. If they say yes I would just stick to having an instrumental version of the song. If it doesn't have the words it would probably make it easier for your other family members too.

It is your way of honoring your nan, as long as you don't get too emotional when the song is played it should all be OK. I know there are some songs I can listen to any day but on my wedding I was so emotional I almost cried with every darn song! but I am a very emotional person. The song is beautiful by the way.

In your instance, it has been a few years so they may not notice. Don't say it was played at the funeral, just let them know your choice for the first dance, if they don't notice, don't say anything. If they say something, you may need to re-think your choice.

My gran passed away a few months before we got married, my mom wanted to get the band to play a certain song she liked (that had also been played at her funeral), I said no way, I had enough trouble trying not to be upset on the day, I'm still grieving so I would have broken down and my day would have been ruined. We lit a rememberance candle during the ceremony for her, as a reminder that she was there with us in spirit and that she was not forgotton about.

your family members will probably be ok with you using this song as it is a mention to your nan, it is appropriate because you are wanting to feel as if she was there because it is aspecial day for you and family.

odd that that song ws played at a funeral, since it is a "love" song.
