wedding song?

Question

I need to sing a song at my cousins wedding... can anyone please suggest a nice song with REALLY decent lyrics (without lyrics like kiss me, kiss you, make love et all) and if possible the song should be at a medium pitch. I already thought of shania twain's from this moment on, but its really too high for me when she sings "my dreams came true because of you"

Answer 1

Talk with your cousin about what she would like you to sing. The music should fit her tastes, not ours.

I just did a wedding where the brides sister chose to sing an Avril Lavigne song. The bride only listens to country. Or another wedding where the singer chose a piece all about god guiding relationships for the couple but the groom was athiest. It was really out of place.

If the only thing wrong with the Shania song is that line just change the notes. I'm sure you've heard cover songs before....they never follow exactly and part of the challenge is to make the song your own.

Answer 2

I sung "When you say nothing at all" by Allison Krauss last summer at a wedding, and it was in the key of E flat. Or my friend is singing "Inside your Heaven" by Carrie Underwood. The CD I have for it has high, medium, and low ranges. Or you can go to Family Christian bookstore if you have one in your town. They have a contemporary wedding music section for various voices. I hope this helps. Good luck.

For Christian ceremonies I recommend

The Wedding Song. See lyrics here:

or Ave Maria

or Panis Angelicus

For secular ceremonies, you have already received some good suggestions.

Selah > God Bless The Broken Road Lyrics



Selah - God Bless The Broken Road



I set out on a narrow way, many years ago
Hoping I would find true love, along the broken road
But I got lost a time or two
wipe my brow and kept pushing through
I couldn't see how every sign, pointed straight to you

Every long lost dream, led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

I think about the years I spent, just passing through
I'd like to have the time I lost, and give it back to you
But you just smile and take my hand
You've been there you understand
It's all part of a grander plan, that is coming true

Every long lost dream, led me to where you are
Others who broke my heart, they were like northern stars
Pointing me on my way, into your loving arms
This much I know, know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

Now I'm just rolling home
Into your loving arms
This much I know, know is true
That God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you
Yes, God blessed the broken road
That led me straight to you

also this one...sounds like you sing in the same range as me because I can't hit that one note either. The rose is a good choice and also Everything I do I do it for you.
