Wedding song list

Written by KK 2008 from the blog Wedding Songs on 10 Mar 2009
Favourite this post

To paraphrase 1980s one-hit wonder Oran "Juice" Jones, a wedding reception without the right love song is like cornflakes without the milk....

Who else better to ask than you TVSA bloggers to help me come up with the best wedding song list for my upcoming wedding !!!

Basically I need to compile a list for a typical Mzansi wedding, both traditional wedding songs and the kwaito/pop ones by your Malaika's and MaBrrrr that gets te crowd moving etc

I also need your R&B type songs to play at our more "exclusive" wedding and after party

I have a few up my head but thought u guys can make this whole exercise effortless as you can imagine I have enough fine details to look at.

So guys...what is your old time favourite "wedding" song?

"you came along when I needed someone to love me forever" I dont know the artist but am sure someone must have heard the song.

"you raise me up" by westlife, not a typical love song but really beautiful words

"we bhuti ngihamba nawe" by mafikizolo

"makoti o tshwana le pere" ROFL, it has a nice rythm as well (joking)

KK 2008

♫♫Darling I want you to listen
I stayed up all night, so I can get this thing right
And I don't think there's anything missing
Cause a person like you, made it easy to do
I've waited for so long, to sing to you this song

Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven
Your smile could heal a million souls
Your love completes my existence
You're the other half that makes me whole
You're the only other half that makes me whole

I think the angels are your brothers, yeah
They told you about me, said you're just what she needs
And I find myself thanking your mother
For giving birth to a saint
My spirit flies when I say your name
If there's one thing that's true
It's that I was born to love you

And your eyes are the windows to heaven
Your smile could heal a million souls
Your love completes my existence
You're the other half that makes me whole
You're the only other half that makes me whole

You make my dreams
Come true over and, over again
And I honestly truly believe
You and me are written in the stars
I live my whole life through
Just giving thanks to you

Cause your eyes are the windows to heaven
Your smile could heal a million souls
Your love completes my existence
You're the other half that makes me whole
You're the only other half that makes me whole ♫♫

by Amel Larrieux

this song makes me fall in love all over again whenever I hear it....

Bryan Adams....Ever loved a woman. This song goes like:

To really love a woman
To understand her - you gotta know her deep inside
Hear every thought - see every dream
N' give her wings - when she wants to fly
Then when you find yourself lyin' helpless in her arms
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman you tell her
that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that it's gonna last forever
So tell me have you ever really
- really really ever loved a woman?

To really love a woman
Let her hold you -
til ya know how she needs to be touched
You've gotta breathe her - really taste her
Til you can feel her in your blood
N' when you can see your unborn children in her eyes
Ya know ya really love a woman

When you love a woman
you tell her that she's really wanted
When you love a woman you tell her that she's the one
Cuz she needs somebody to tell her
that you'll always be together
So tell me have you ever really -
really really ever loved a woman?

You got to give her some faith - hold her tight
A little tenderness - gotta treat her right
She will be there for you, takin' good care of you
Ya really gotta love your woman...

TO LOVE YOU MORE (Celine Dion)

Take me back in the arms I love
Need me like you did before
Touch me once again
And remember when
There was no one that you wanted more

Don't go you know you will break my heart
She won't love you like I will
I'm the one who'll stay
When she walks away
And you know I'll be standing here still

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

See me as if you never knew
Hold me so you can't let go
Just believe in me
I will make you see
All the things that your heart needs to know

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

And some way all the love that we had can be saved
Whatever it takes we'll find a way

I'll be waiting for you
Here inside my heart
I'm the one who wants to love you more
You will see I can give you
Everything you need
Let me be the one to love you more

I love this song am sure It can do for a wedding too
