Our first dance song was "Everything" by Michael Buble. I love the song, but it doesn't really affect me emotionally.
On the other hand, I walked down the aisle to "Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional and I get emotional/nostalgic every. single. time. I hear it. All those feelings of walking down the aisle come rushing back to me. I love it!
How about you? Which makes you more nostalgic?

Pretty much any song I can associate with my wedding I do, they all make me incredibly happy! I'm silly and sentimental like that though.

@MrsStormy: Same! Any & all of the songs we had make me very "wedding happy". Even the worship song we chose now overwhelms me with that day over worship! lol

Gahh, they all make me happy! But our processional song was written and recorded by DH, so it will always have a special place in my heart - it was his surprise to me on our wedding day!
We also had a friend who sang Ave Maria and DH prayed for us and our marriage at the altar the whole time she was singing, so I am pretty much a mess every time I hear it.

We didn't have a first dance. our guitar player learned my favorite jazz instrumental and played it at the end.

We didn't have a first dance and I don't remember our processional song 
I do have a cd of songs that were played during the reception that I listen to a lot.

First dance plus an extra song that was our 'second dance' song LOL We had already decided on the first dance song, then another really good song came along, so we made it a point to play it and dance to it later. The processional took me forever to figure out and I just kind of picked one and had him listen to it. It was fine, so we used it. Nothing special.

We didn't have a first dance, but our processional was this:
and I love it so so so much. I know the lyrics are a little off for a wedding, but honestly, I think of my husband whenever he's not around and when I know I get to see him I feel like I'm going on a holiday. 
lol gush gush. SO corny.

I walked down the aisle to I Love NYC by Badly Drawn Boy. I don't hear it that often (although its in a commercial campaign recently), but it makes me feel wedding happy every time I hear it.
Our first dance was Wagon Wheel by Old Crow Medicine Show and I hear that often! It was a special song even before we got married and it makes me think of my husband and all the reasons I love him whenever it plays

Also this made me think about a playlist I had that I played during labor. Anytime I hear that now I tear up and it's been 7 months!

Definitely our first dance song, we danced to "my best friend" by Tim McGraw. I walked down the aisle to the Imperial March

The processional was nice, Somewhere over the Rainbow by Brother Iz, I am always happy when I hear it.
Our recessional really gets me, Maybe We Should Fall In Love- Roger Clyne and the Peacemakers.
And our first dance, You & Me- DMB, I love that song so much!

@cyndistar3: ha, ha that's pretty awesome! The Imperial March is a great idea!

@lemondrop: Love "You & Me!" Great song
Our recessional makes me incredibly happy, too. We used "You Make My Dreams Come True" by Hall & Oates. It doesn't make me tear up, but it always makes me smile!

I walked down the aisle to a traditional church song - Canon, Pachelbel, something like that! It was a non-secular song, I know that much.
Our first dance was "You and Me" by Dave Matthews Band and I *LOVE* it still!! (@lemondrop: YES!!)
pineapple / 12526 posts
@mewtill: Can I just say... that I love that Wagon Wheel was your first dance. We need to be friends.
I dont get too nostalgic over our first dance song (Hold You In My Arms by Ray LaMontagne) but i definitely do over my processional song, which was the VSQ instrumental of Imagine by John Lennon.

First dance was Grow Old With You
I was not keen on being "in the spotlight" so it took a bit of the pressure off by being silly but sweet.
Uhh I don't remember the processional! We were married outside and I wasn't going to have musicians until some freak last minute panic hit me and I hired instrumentalists at the last minute and told them to play whatever they wanted. I don't even remember them being there but for the pictures!

Our first dance song. He first told me he loved me while dancing to that song in our living room, so it gave me warm fuzzies well before the wedding day! I do smile fondly when I hear the songs from our wedding mass though!

My processional song, but for different reasons. I picked a movement from "Jupiter, the Bringer of Jollity" by Holst because it was one of (many) songs my dad played for me growing up and I really liked it. I told him I was going to walk down the aisle to it and he passed away 4 months before our wedding. I had to fight the organist tooth and nail to play that song, but I won, and it was beautiful.

@mewtill: Definitely a big Old Crow fan, so I'm digging this.
@zippylef: Awesome. Our recessional song was "You are the best thing" by Ray LaMontagne.
I walked down the aisle to a live version of "Make you feel my love", by Adele. Our first Dance was "Swept Away (sentimental version), by The Avett Brothers. I danced with my dad to, "If I needed you", by Lyle Lovett. I get seriously teary eyed when I hear any of the three.

Our first dance song. Follow Through by Gavin DeGraw. I put it on the first mixed cd I made for my then boyfriend when we were dating long distance.

Definitely my processional song, because it was already one of my favorite songs of all time--"In Your Eyes" by Peter Gabriel. (So romantic. Say Anything!)
Our first dance was "Sea of Love" by Cat Power. It makes me smile and think of our wedding, but we chose it because we both like it and it's short; it's not "our song" or anything. I kind of wanted our first dance to be "In Your Eyes," but it's really long and my husband wasn't totally into it.

@DigAPony: Awww! I walked down the aisle to Sea of Love. I love, love that song. But I feel most wedding happy when I think about our recessional song: Home, by Edward sharpe and the magnetic zeros. That was Our Song while we were dating, so I loved having it play as we walked out together.

We didn't do a first dance. And I walked down the aisle to a traditional Jewish wedding song..... So I haven't heard it since my wedding.

First dance "Come Rain or Shine" BB King & Eric Clapton
Our organist mixed up the music for the processionals so I ended up walking to the song we had picked out for the bridesmaids.

Definitely our professional- "Crazy Girl" by Zac Brown band. I cry every time I hear it!

Processional FOR SURE!!! My heart skips a beat everytime I hear it!

@mewtill: That's awesome. Does the Darius Rucker version make you want to cry not happy tears? It does me.
Our first dance, January Wedding by The Avett Brothers, makes me more nostalgic. DH was adamant that I walk down the aisle to the Wedding March, but I don't have any special connection to it.
pomegranate / 3003 posts
@Weagle: We almost used that song, since we got married on January 12th.

Oh too hard to decide! We walked down to this by The Piano Guys -
clementine / 930 posts
I walked down to The Luckiest by Ben Folds and it gets me every time. We also had Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Callait when we did the unity candle and that's my ringer for DH on my phone now so it really makes me smile when I hear it. Our first dance song was a random country song that DH really wanted, and its sweet but I don't hear it very often. It's called Living Our Love Song.

My pianist really messed up playing my processional song, but any song associated with our wedding makes me smile.

@scg00387: that song gives me goosebumps everytime I see that movie, I'm so lame!
Our first dance (ever!) was at our wedding, we danced to Nothing Fancy by Dave Barnes, acoustic. I never hear it anywhere, but DH plays guitar so sometimes i'll walk in and he'll be playing it and singing and that makes me sentimental!

Processional - my uncles (keyboard & guitar) & brother (violin) played it live for me. First dance my brother downloaded the song to the wrong computer so he just played some random song I don't even remember the name of. Plus it was just awkwardsauce to have all those eyes on you.

@Mrs. Pen: That was my processional (I was the only one who walked to it.)
