FH and I took it waaay back...our first dance will be to You are Everything (Marvin Gaye and Tammy Terrell)
Won't have the opportunity for father/daughter or mother/son because both are deceased
djimonsmom I think Anthony Hamilton is a great choice! :)
Our first dance song will be "Differences" by Ginuwine. Our other options were "Spend My Life"-Tamia and Eric Benet, "You"-Jesse Powell, and "Greatest Love"-Musiq Soulchild. I think our father/daughter song will be "Isn't She Lovely"-Stevie Wonder or "Your Are the Sunshine of My Life"-another Stevie hit. My FH and future MIL haven't decided what song they will be dancing to yet.

You ladies have such wonderful choices in first songs. FH and I thought that we wanted to dance to "At Last" by Etta James. Then, we heard this other song (boy, I forgot by whom) and we both fell in love with it. Now we're torn. It's called "Sweetest Kiss" and here are some of the words
Like a rose losing its thorn you came to me
I was so scared just the thought made me weak
placed your hands in mine gently closed my eyes your lips touched my lips I felt so alive my first, my last my always my sweetest kiss
Do you remember arm in arm for the first time?
Against all odds our hearts collide like it was meant to be
something happened then it hit me stronger than anything I'd wished or ever will again my first, my last my always my first, my last my always my first, my last my always
Placed your hands in mine gently closed my eyes your lips touched my lips I felt so alive my first, my last my always my first, my last my always my first, my last my always my first, my last my always sweetest kiss sweetest kiss
When I remember who sings this, I'll let you know, but she's very young, but talented.
I really like "So Amazing" by Luther Vandross and my FH loves "Spend my Life with You" by Eric Benet'. I was looking at using "My Girl" by The Temptations as the father/daughter/son/mother dance. Those are beautiful songs. "So Amazing" is a song that he sung to me right before he proposed. So I think you should use a song that comes from your heart. Good Luck!!
yes i do, I am done worrying about FH's guys (2 still didnt get their stuff). Everything else is complete. I am so ready and so is FH. All he does is talk about it now. The Pastor was even shocked at him. lol. His mom just left from up here, that wasnt a good weekend for me and her really. maybe next time...
Sorry to hear about your fmil and your visit----maybe real soon everything will pan out for you---but hey, don't focus on that now-giiirrrrllll you are about to be married!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Oh, I remember the name of the composer. She's Michal Towber, a 3-time Emmy winner composer/songwriter. She has written for shows like One Life To Live and lately General Hospital has asked her for a few, but she has 3 albums out so far too. The name of the song is "Sweetest Kiss".
Shy, I know exactly what you mean!!! Isn't it funny how FH would do absolutely nothing, questions us on every penny though, but wherever he goes, or if he's around his boys, he'll just say "Oh have you met my wife? Show them the ring baby"; or he'll say, "aren't we married yet". As if they're willing to take all the credit for all of our hard work without so much as lifting a hand, oh they'll lift a finger alright.
she is not going to rain on my parade at all. I am too blessed to be stressed! you hear me!
i felt good towards the end of the visit. the only thing that bothered me was since she is "assisting" the Pastor is the ceremony, they were both going to wear robes but he said no. so she wanted to wear the robe cause she still cant find anything to wear. she asked me can she wear the robe for the night. FH and I both said NO at the same time because we dont want to see her like that in the pictures. We have the families color coordinated. So i gave her some alternate colors that still go with the colors of the day.
FH and I are gonna do a surprize dance.... we are gonna start off pretty slow with jaheims "forever" and then like a minute into the song bust into a hip hop dance to BBD's "poison" then jump back into jaheims "forever" as if nothing happened. Lol No one knows we are doing this so it will be funny. LOL
Yes it will be funny. lol But i think everyone will get a kickout of it
I saw something like that last night on youtube. the couple started off to one of the songs from Ghost and then the DJ switched over to Baby Got Back by Sir Mixalot and they did a routine. It was too funny but cute. Now that FH saw that he wants to do that, he was so excited to see something like that. he doesnt want alot of slow dancing for the first dances
Miss you guys!!! Have you thought of learning a n actual dance routine? I went to a wedding where the entire wedding party had learned a dance. Consider using a First Dance DVD. My hubby and I did a rumba. He is a nervous dancer so practicing something made him more comfortable. He even dipped me! LORD.
SHY: MILs are notorious for being difficult. Pray on it and just smile through the madness.
Ginoue I Just love "At Last" It give you chills when you hear it. So that will get my vote first. I have not heard "sweetest Kiss" yet, but the lyrics are SOOOO sweet.
