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!
