Wedding Playlist

This month Mr. & Mrs. Hotpot are celebrating our 10th wedding anniversary. It seems like only yesterday we were Getting to Know Each Other (Gerard Kenny). Today I still ask When Did You Fall (Chris Rice)? One thing for sure is How Do I Live Without You (Trisha Yearwood)?

Through the years we’ve shared and sang one too many songs even our iPod couldn’t contain. Music has defined chapters in the life we shared. We keep CD compilations, now MP3, of songs that have meaning to us, usually of movie soundtracks, a common favourite, or one that constantly played around a significant phase of our life. Music has been the thread that stitched the quilt of our years together.

Promise of Love (Martin Nievera) – for our favourite celeb couple who used the same song for their bridal march
All My Life (K-Ci & Jojo) – this was almost for the bridal march, after Miss Universe used it on their evening gown segment
Cherish the Treasure (Steve Green) – for our faith, contract signing
This is the Day (Scott Wesley Brown) – this is the day indeed, church picture taking
At the Beginning (Anastasia) – “We were strangers starting out on a journey,” grand entrance as Mr&Mrs
Love Changes Everything (bAndrew Llyod Webber) – the trumpeted intro was perfect for the parade of waiters
Love Moves in Mysterious Ways (Julia Fordham) – the title alone speaks volume, AVP of the church ceremony
Power of Two (Indigo Girls) – for when our individual set of friends multiplied by 2, AVP of couple pics with friends
Thanks To You (Tyler Collins) – to thank our families for paving the way for our paths to meet, AVP of family pictures
The Perfect Year (Sunset Boulevard) – what our first year together is going to be like
Changing and Giving Ways (Dawn Dineros) – what we’ll do at the onset of the marriage
Getting to Know Each Other (Gerald Kenny) – from the first movie we watched
Ally McBeal theme (Vonda Shepard) – for the TV show we watched in our respective homes pre-wedding
I’ll Never Fall in Love Again (My Bestfriend’s Wedding) – not for the lyrics, but for one of our all-time favourite movies
How Do I Live (Trisha Yearwood) – the first song that said we got something in common – our love for music
Your Song (Moulin Rouge) – “How wonderful life is now you’re in the world!”

This is our wedding playlist. It was played on our wedding day in different segments. Now the songs also reference snippets of our wedding.  Today we still play these songs and reminisce that special day. Even 10 years later.

This is Mr & Mrs Hotpot enjoying the program/songs in the reception.

Do you have a wedding playlist, too?
