This is a good reference but you should always use songs that have a special meaning to both you and your groom. Our wedding song was Selena's "Dreaming of You". We chose that song because that was our song in High School. Corney I know, but it's funny because going back to that point watching the movie and listening to that song we would have never thought that would be our wedding song, lol. Hope this list helps and we're glad we were able to pass along to you.

I hope you dance
I hope you never lose your sense of wonder
You get your fill to eat but always keep that hunger
May you never take one single breath for granted
God forbid love ever leave you empty handed
I hope you still feel small when you stand by the ocean
Whenever one door closes, I hope one more opens
Promise me you'll give faith a fighting chance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance

I hope you never fear those mountains in the distance
Never settle for the path of least resistance
Living might mean taking chances but they're worth taking
Lovin' might be a mistake but it's worth making
Don't let some hell bent heart leave you bitter
When you come close to selling out reconsider
Give the heavens above more than just a passing glance
And when you get the choice to sit it out or dance
I hope you dance
- Lee Ann Womack
