She sent me a link to this great wedding video which used the very song (instrumental version). Check it out, have a listen to the song and tell me if you fell in love with it like I did.

Wedding of Leeane and Andrew from Real Life Films on Vimeo.

Apart from a fantastically made wedding video, the choice in background music to accompany the moving pictures made all the difference. The song is indeed magical like how my friend described it and I now understand why she loves the song. Good pick, S!

Have any of you used the song in your wedding? Is Moon River one of your wedding song choices? Share your reasons for picking the song. Your thoughts will be useful for the rest of the women who are looking to consider it.

Make sure you get dance choreographed to like this couple here:

What the couple did was they started out with a slow song (a different one) and then broke out into the funny dance ala Uma Thurman and John Travolta. I loved the audience reaction the best though. Everyone was clapping and having a lot of fun cheering the couple along. So cute!

There are other great songs that you can dance to like:

1. The Wedding Thriller Dance
2. Carrie Underwood’s Home Sweet Home
3. Dirty Dancing
4. Someone Like You

1. Lonestar’s 1999 song ‘Amazed‘ — not sure if I like this song but hey, to each his (or her!) own!

2. Aerosmith’s ‘I Don’t Want To Miss A Thing’

3. Shania Twain’s ‘From This Moment On’ — not surprised about this. Walked down the aisle to this song! This was in 2001 though. I’m surprised the song is still popular now.

4. Bryan Adams’ ‘Everything I Do (I Do It For You)’

5. Take That’s ‘Rule The World’

To those who didn’t know, the song that accompanied the wedding scene was “Turn To Stone” by Ingrid Michaelson. Love the song, love the vows, love the whole wedding scene. Made me cry if truth be told! The song “Turn to Stone” can also be used as the bridal march song eh? Or perhaps the song to the first wedding dance?

Here’s the transcript of Alex’s wedding vows:

Today’s the day my life begins.
All my life I’ve been just me. Just a smart mouth kid.
Today I become a man. Today I become a husband.
Today I become accountable to someone other than myself.
Today I become accountable to you.
To our future. To all the possibilities that a marriage has to offer.
Together, no matter what happens, I’ll be ready. For anything. For everything.
To take on life, to take on love. To take on possibility and responsibility. Today Izzie Stevens, our life together begins. And I for one can’t wait.

Awww sweet!

The lyrics can be found after the jump

“Turn To Stone”
by Ingrid Michaelson

Let’s take a better look
Beyond a story book
And learn our souls are all we own
Before we turn to stone

Let’s go to sleep with clearer heads
And hearts to big to fit our beds
And maybe we won’t feel so alone
Before we turn to stone

CHORUS:
And if you wait for someone else’s hand
And you will surely fall down
And if you wait for someone else’s hand
You’ll fall
You’ll fall

I know that I am nothing new
There’s so much more than me and you
But brother how we must atone
Before we turn to stone

Brother how we must atone
Before we turn to stone
Before we turn to stone

I must admit, I got a bit weepy watching this video as the Mom was hugging the groom (her son!) and crying while dancing. It was soooo emotional!

The song the Groom and his Mom dance to was "I’ll Always Be Your Mother"

Lyrics after the jump

I’LL ALWAYS BE YOUR MOTHER

By: Lynn Leonti

This is a special day
When two are joined as one
I love my new daughter
I’ll always love you son
Care for each other
Be faithful till the end
Follow what’s in your heart
May you always stay best friends

Chorus:
It’s the start of your new life
As husband & wife
Hope the good days outshine the bad
May laughter brighten the sad
Know I’m here for you
To help or just talk to
Believe in each other
I’ll always be your mother

The day will be here soon
When you’ll have Kids to love
God will watch over you
From heaven up above
Pray for patience & wisdom
To give your kids your best
You’ll teach them right from wrong
They’ll bring you happiness

Chorus Repeat

Bridge:
I’ll always be your mother,
it completes my life
My tears are filled with love,
for you & your new wife
You are a caring son,
I’ll forever be proud of
Cherish your new bride,
We can always share your love

It’s the start of your new life
Believe in each other
I’ll always be your mother

“Love of My Life”
words by Darla Day
music by Mark Phillips
duet sung by Darla & Chad Day

I love you, the love of my life
I need you, our love is right
I’ve found the one that my soul loves
No other love means so much

I prayed to my God for a heart to keep
He gave me the one, He knew my needs
Over and over this love is sweet
I recognize the joy that makes our love complete
God gave you to me

You’re the one I prayed for long ago
Fearless trust I never thought I’d know
I’ve found the answer to my dreams
My eyes were opened to love’s mystery

I prayed to my God for a heart to keep
He gave me the one, He knew my needs
Over and over this love is sweet
I recognize the joy that makes our love complete
God gave you to me

The love of my life…

I love you, the love of my life
I need you, our love is right
I’ve found the one that my soul loves
No other heart gives so much
God gave you to me

You’re the one I love
You are the love of my life

If you’re still looking for the perfect song for the father-daughter wedding dance song, I’d recommend “Daddy’s Angel” by Andrew Carter. Love it! I hope you’ll love it too!

Daddy’s Angel
Words and music: Anthony W. Carter

I’m giving you away
But I’m not letting go
The memories, they flood my mind
Of the little girl I know

Once upon a time
You held my hand so tight
You’d close your eyes and say a prayer
Then I’d kiss your head goodnight

As we dance I keep our love deep within my heart
And thank God for giving me this angel in my arms…

You’re my little angel
So baby don’t you cry
It’s time to spread your wings and fly
If there’s one thing this father knows
The hardest part is letting go
But you will still always be…
Daddy’s little angel

It seems like yesterday
Has come and gone so fast
Now my baby’s all grown up
But the memories will last

It’s hard to say goodbye
When you’ve always been so near
But for now I’ll hold you tight
Like those times that I hold dear

When you were young, I used to laugh
At the funny things you’d say
Right now I just can’t help but smile
On this blessed day…

This is such a heartwarming song and would be perfect song to accompany your first dance! Especially if you’re into country music, this will go down well with you and your hunny and of course, your guests!

Can you imagine yourself resting your head on your man’s shoulders while dancing to this song?

Awwww how sweet!

Lyrics to the song after the jump

Home Sweet Home (Lyrics)

You know I’m a dreamer
But my heart’s of gold
I had to run away high
So I wouldn’t come home low

Just when things went right
Doesn’t mean they were always wrong
Just take this song and you’ll never feel
Left all alone

Take me to your heart
Feel me in your bones
Just one more night
And I’m comin’ off this
Long & winding road

I’m on my way
I’m on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight
I’m on my way
I’m on my way
Home sweet home

You know that I’ve seen
Too many romantic dreams
Up in lights, fallin’ off the silver screen

My heart’s like an open book
For the whole world to read
Sometimes nothing keeps me together at the seams

I’m on my way
I’m on my way
Home sweet home
Tonight, tonight
I’m on my way
Just set me free
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home
Home Sweet Home

I’m on my way
I’m on my way
Home Sweet Home
Yeah
I’m on my way
Just set me free
Home Sweet Home
