Joined: May 2002 Posts: 1026 Location: Back in the Valley of the Sun Mesa Az. | "I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman "I'll Always Be Right There" by Bryan Adams "There Is Love" Paul Stookey These are great acoustical wedding songs. I played "There is Love" at my sister's wedding, "I Will Be Here" at a good friends wedding, and will be doing Bryan Adam's "I'll Always be Right There" Aug 6th at my daughter's wedding. All great songs! Norse(I suggest a six [classical if you have it] for the Bryan Adam's song, and a 12 string for the other two...fun songs to play as well!)man1 | ||

How about Glen Campbell's How Come Every Time I Itch I Wind Up Scratching You? Seriously, Clint Black's Something That We Do. | ||

All the federales say We could have had him any day Only let him slip away Out of kindness I suppose I love the song, but I expect that the mother of the bride would never forgive you. | ||

This is agood finger picking - change tempo and style as the guests are seated and they try to locate the Groom. D-A-Bm-F#m-G-D-G-A repeat. "I will be here" is great. "There is Love may have been overdone. Try something by KISS! | ||

It's an unwritten rule that when you play at a wedding you have make it sound like you're a regular at the Rainbow Room of the Holiday Inn Express ... Enjoy and have fun! Here are some songs that have not been mentioned: Long and Winding Road A bootle of red - joel it's raining men ymca locomotion electric slide roll out the barrel Hokey Pokey My god it's just horrible but the people seem to enjoy them. And remember you and your band are not the stars. And don't let family members sing, anyone who does forgets that today they are not the center of attention. Even if they have a good voice ... Stop them! The thoughtful members of the wedding party will thank you. | ||

Good luck. | ||
