I need a traditional wedding song to sing at a wedding. Any ideas?

My friend and I are singing at a wedding and were supposed to come up with a traditional wedding song to sing. It needs to be able to have harmony put to it. Any ideas? Please help!





Thanks!

I need a traditional wedding song to sing at a wedding. Any ideas?
The Wedding Song by Noel Paul Stookey. I had it sung at my wedding, it's really a beautiful song.





He is now to be among you


at the calling of your hearts.


Rest assured this troubadour


is acting on His part.





The union of your spirits, here,


has caused Him to remain


For whenever two or more of you


are gathered in His name


There is Love. There is Love.





A man shall leave his mother


and a woman leave her home


And they shall travel on


to where the two shall be as one.





As it was in the beginning


is now and til the end


Woman draws her life from man


and gives it back again.





And there is Love. There is Love.





Well then what's to be the reason for becoming man and wife?





Is it Love that brings you here or Love that brings you life?





And if loving is the answer, then who's the giving for?





Do you believe in something that you've never seen before?





Oh there's Love, there is Love.





Oh the marriage of your spirits here


has caused Him to remain


For whenever two or more of you


are gathered in His name





There is Love. There is Love.
Reply:I assume you mean for the ceremony. The most popular choices in my experience are:





How Beautiful - Twila Paris


The Wedding Song - Paul Stookey (good for harmony very traditional)


Wherever You Go - Weston Priory/Gregory Norbet


Covenant Hymn - Gary Daigle


Beginning Today - Darryl Ducote


I Am Here - Steven Curtis Chapman


One Hand One Heart (from West Side Story)


Let there Be Peace On Earth - Jill Jackson/Seymour Miller


The Prayer - David Foster/Carol Bayer Sager (recorded by Andreas Bocelli and Celine Dion Great for harmony)


You Raise Me Up - Rolf Lovland %26amp; Brendan Graham recorded by Josh Groban.. GREAT For Harmony!!)


I also like Where There is Love - David Haas





Good luck!





you can listen to a lot of them here

Reply:i cant remember the exact title... that old song, starts off "L is for the way you look at me, O is for the only one I see...." i love that one.
Reply:The perfect song, for harmony would be the Hawaiian wedding song, that Don Ho made famous.
Reply:You don't mention what type of voice you have or the timing of the song. My suggestions:


Here And Now by Luther Vandross





One look in your eyes and there I see


Just what you mean to me


Here in my heart I believe


Your love is all I'll ever need


Holdin' you close through the night


I need you, yeah





I look in your eyes and there I see


What happiness really means


The love that we share makes life so sweet


Together we'll always be


This pledge of love feels so right


And, ooh, I need you





Here and now


I promise to love faithfully (Faithfully)


You're all I need


Here and now


I vow to be one with thee (You and me), hey


Your love is all (I need) I need





Say, yeah, yeah...





When I look in your eyes, there I'll see


All that a love should really be


And I need you more and more each day


Nothin' can take your love away


More than I dare to dream


I need you





Here and now


I promise to love faithfully (Faithfully)


You're all I need


Here and now


I vow to be one with thee (You and me), yeah


Your love is all I need





(Starting here) Ooh, and I'm starting now


I believe (I believe in love), I believe


(Starting here) I'm starting right here


(Starting now) Right now because I believe in your love


So I'm glad to take the vow





Here and now, oh


I promise to love faithfully (Faithfully)


You're all I need


Here and now, yeah


I vow to be one with thee (You and me), yeah


Your love is all I need





I, hey...yeah...yeah...hey...


Uh, hey...


I-I, love is all I need


Ooh...ooh...yeah...


Yeah...yeah...hey...yeah...yeah...


Love is all I need


Ooh...ooh...


Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah


Oh


Hey...yeah


Hey...yeah...





and a really pretty song:


Longer Than by Dan Fogelberg


Longer than there've been fishes in the ocean


Higher than any bird ever flew


Longer than there've been stars up in the heavens


Ive been in love with you.





Stronger than any mountain cathedral


Truer than any tree ever grew


Deeper than any forest primeval


I am in love with you.





Ill bring fires in the winters


You'll send showers in the springs


Well fly through the falls and summers


With love on our wings.





Through the years as the fire starts to mellow


Burning lines in the book of our lives


Though the binding cracks and the pages start to yellow


Ill be in love with you.





Longer than thereve been fishes in the ocean


Higher than any bird ever flew


Longer than thereve been stars up in the heavens


Ive been in love with you


I am in love with you..





An I echo the suggestion for the Carpenters'


We've Only Just Begun - it really is beautiful.





Good luck!
