Jackie's random scribblings

Wedding playlist finalised

Left it a little late (this week has not gone to plan at all), but I'm all done with the music for my Moms' wedding.  Playlist finalised and recorded onto 2 CDs!

This is the list I settled on -

  1. Roberta Flack - The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face
  2. Gladys Knight & The Pips - Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me
  3. Dusty Springfield - I Close My Eyes And Count To Ten
  4. Celine Dion & Frank Sinatra - All the Way
  5. Diana Ross & Lionel Richie - Endless Love
  6. The Carpenters - We've Only Just Begun
  7. Johnny Mathis - I'm Stone In Love With You
  8. Dusty Springfield - Look Of Love
  9. Frank Sinatra - I've Got You Under My Skin
  10. Nat King Cole - When I Fall In Love
  11. The Beach Boys - God Only Knows
  12. The Mamas & The Papas - California Dreamin'
  13. Diana Ross - Reach Out And Touch (Somebody's Hand)
  14. Bee Gees - How Deep Is Your Love
  15. The Carpenters - I Won't Last A Day Without You
  16. Dido - Thank You
  17. Charles Aznavour - She
  18. The Commodores - Easy
  19. Michael Jackson - I Just Can't Stop Loving You (feat. Siedah Garrett)
  20. The Stylistics - Can't Give You Anything (But My Love)
  21. The Police - Every Breath You Take
A fine selection that even a metal fan like me can enjoy!  Well, apart from the Celine Dion part anyway (that was all my Mom).

So now that's out of the way, all that's left is to practise some more with my camera (I'm doing the photography for the wedding) and give my house a good clean for guests at the weekend.  Have to say the former will be far more enjoyable than the latter, but it'll all be well worth it.

Wedding ceremony playlist

My Mom is getting married next weekend!  I've been put in charge of the photography, but I'm also, with the happy couples help, compiling a CD for the ceremony.  Last night I sat down with them and we put our heads together.  The list is pretty much complete, I need maybe another 4 or 5 songs.

Here's what we have so far -

  1. The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face - Roberta Flack (for brides 'walk down the aisle'
  2. Best Thing That Happened to Me - Gladys Knight & The Pips (for the signing of the register)
  3. I Close my Eyes and Count to Ten - Dusty Springfield (for the signing of the register)
  4. All the Way - Celine Dion & Frank Sinatra (for leaving the ceremony room)

The rest are 'filler' songs for when guests are arriving etc.  In no particular order, we have -

  • We've Only Just Begun - The Carpenters
  • I'm Stone in Love With You - Johnny Mathis
  • When I Fall in Love - Nat King Cole
  • I've Got You Under my Skin - Frank Sinatra
  • The Look of Love - Dusty Springfield
  • Endless - Diana Ross & Lionel Richie
  • Easy - The Commodores
  • I Won't Last a Day Without You - The Carpenters
  • You are Always on my Mind - Elvis Presley
  • Reach Out and Touch - Diana Ross
  • God Only Knows - Beach Boys
  • California Dreamin' - The Mamas & The Papas
  • Can't Give You Anything But my Love - The Stylistics
  • How Deep is Your Love - Bee Gees
  • I Just Can't Stop Loving You - Michael Jackson
  • She - Charles Aznavour
  • Every Breath You Take - The Police
  • Annie's Song - John Denver
  • Thank You - Dido

If you're reading this and happen to have any suggestions (suitable for a couple in their early 60's) I'd love to hear them!
