minniemare5 Posted March 23, 2011 at 01:45 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 01:45 PM Hi everyone, I am getting married on June 18, 2011 and I am trying to pick a Celine song to walk down the aisle to. I am having a really hard time choosing a song so I thought I'd get some opinions from other fans. First let me tell you a little bit about my fiance and I. We met four years ago at a Tractor Supply store where we both worked. We were both sales associates and my fiances got moved up to manager within two years. We spent a lot of time together at work and quickly became close. He's 31 years older than me and got divorced a few years ago, and has children my age. So it's like a Celine and Rene story, which I definitely never planned on! My mom actually thought I was trying to be Celine for dating this man. I truly never wanted to be with someone that much older than me but we have a lot in common, have a great time together, and "get" each other. I truly think Celine was brought into my life to show me that it is ok to fall in love with someone far away in age. Maybe everything's happened for a reason. We have gone through a lot to be together and many of our family members do not approve of our age difference, but we also have some wonderful friends and family members who have been supportive from the beginning. My grandmother is paying for my wedding and has been my biggest fan through everything. It's an outside wedding, near a river, under a pergola. My dress is a replica of Taylor Swift's "Love Story" dress from her music video and that is kind of the theme. However, I have been a Celine fan for 17 years and just HAVE to walk down the aisle to one of her songs! lol Ok enough rambling. Here are the songs that I am thinking of: -The Colour of My Love (since it's a wedding song, but it's honestly not my favorite) -Taking Chances (this song inspired my fiance to tell me he had feelings for him because it used to be my ringback, but I worry it might be too upbeat for a aisle walk) -Pour Que T'aimes Encore (I worry it being too long and people getting upset that they dont understand it. I think it's beautfiul and relates to our love because we have both given up things/people to be together. I have thought about cutting one of the intros Celine talks about the song during the TC store. She tells the English speaking fans what the song is about and that most people could relate to it. I thought I could put the Celine live intro and then use the actual album recording since the quality is better than live versions) -A New Day Has Come (it's so lively and beautiful. I love the rhythms and melodies, but it reminds me of the birth of a child rather than a wedding. Any thoughts?) -I Knew I Loved You (One of Celine's covers. Absoultutely gorgeous, but kind of slow and long, and it's not one of Celine's own songs) I am open to other suggestions as well! I appreciate everyone's thoughts. Quote

minniemare5 Posted March 23, 2011 at 02:19 PM Author Posted March 23, 2011 at 02:19 PM There's 2 versions on the album. The slow one or the fast one? Thanks! Quote
Timster Posted March 23, 2011 at 02:44 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 02:44 PM (edited) The Power Of Love is the most obvious one to me... But out of your choices I'd say ANDHC Edited March 23, 2011 at 02:45 PM by Timster Quote
Javier_Natalio Posted March 23, 2011 at 02:44 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 02:44 PM Either one is great but the radio version is much more uplifting and less boring IMO. Quote
minniemare5 Posted March 23, 2011 at 02:50 PM Author Posted March 23, 2011 at 02:50 PM Yeah I was definitely thinking the radio version of ANDHC. Haven't put a lot of thought into TPOL, but it is included in my rehearsal music. Maybe I'll consider it as well. Out of "A New Day Has Come," and "The Power of Love", what do you guys think would be better? Thanks again! Quote
marcolino Posted March 23, 2011 at 02:53 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 02:53 PM There's 2 versions on the album. The slow one or the fast one? Thanks!the slow one...i prefer the fast one, but i think that the slow one fits better to a wedding Quote Facebook--> Marco MeyerYoutube --> marcolino180Msn --> marcolino180@hotmail.it
RomualdlovesCeline Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:00 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:00 PM (edited) I would put D'amour ou D'amitie! Let's face it you have to pop-up the question SOMEDAY!!? Unless you have a crystal ball and you see the future, I don't recommend I knew I loved you AND is inappropriate becoz Unless you are marrying him at 4am in the morning and the sun is going up, then don't use it. TC is more of a song that says: let's try our marriage if it does not work we can always divorce. TCMOL is inappropriate because Unless you are gonna flash him with your vagina in the ceremony and show him the REAL color of your love don't put it. PQTME is more of a desperate song for a woman in need of love; don't put it Edited March 23, 2011 at 03:05 PM by RomualdlovesCeline Quote
Javier_Natalio Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:02 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:02 PM TPOL seems really inappropriate (to me) for a walk down the isle... I wouldn't go with power ballads at all. No Where does my heart beat now, no I Surrender, no Water from the moon, no the Reason, or anything like that. ANDHC (radio) seems appropriate, but then again, it's just my personal opinion. What about The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face? Cover, but lovely! Quote
minniemare5 Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:07 PM Author Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:07 PM I like the idea of "The First Time Ever I saw Your Face". I already have it on my mix for the dinner. I just worry that it might be too slow. Thoughts? I do agree with not using a power ballad, it's just too much for an aisle walk I think. Quote
RomualdlovesCeline Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:09 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:09 PM TPOL is more of a show stopper; "Whenever he reaches for me, I'll DO WHATEVER I CAN" You would be giving ideas to your future husband Quote
minniemare5 Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:18 PM Author Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:18 PM TPOL is definitely out. Romulald, Why is it bad to use "I knew I loved you"? What do you mean about not being able to predict the future? The wedding is at 11am so I think AND could still be appropriate, and I think it relates to a new chapter in someone's life, so a wedding could apply. I appreciate everyone's feedback Quote
celinemaniacaik Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:28 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:28 PM THE COLOUR OF MY LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote http://27.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lwk66t4rhm1r2j3uro1_500.jpg Follow Me On TUMBLR: Celinedion4ever
Celine Fan 77 Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:35 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 03:35 PM I'd recomend you The colour of my love, The power of love, Because you loved me, My heart will go on, Then you look at me or A new day has come (of course the ballad version) Quote Tournée Européenne in Paris (December 1, 2013)Céline Dion Live 2016 in Antwerp (June 20, 2016)Céline Dion Live 2017 in Birmingham (July 27, 2017)

luislovesceline Posted March 23, 2011 at 04:56 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 04:56 PM I would choose then you look at me, the reason/ the reason i go on ( if he is the TRULY inspiration in life) because you loved me,my love, s'il suffisait d'aimer, to love you more,je sais pas (especially starting from the guitar solo, would be nice in dancing) i don't know exactly if you catch the idea.Or i have one which i very often listen to: From this moment on ( Shania , another great canadian singer) i really like the lyrics.I hope i have helped you.have a good wedding Quote

SuperLove4Celine Posted March 23, 2011 at 06:40 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 06:40 PM You could go totally "outside the box" and go with the upbeat song "Everybody's Talkin' My Baby Down." LOL It would get the point across to everybody at your wedding. As for a ballad, I think one song that I think could best sum up everything is "Love Doesn't Ask Why." It's a beautiful ballad and could indirectly touch on the difficulties you have had to deal with due to peoples' perceptions of you two regarding your age difference. Quote
Nmj Posted March 23, 2011 at 06:44 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 06:44 PM I Really like "Then You Look At Me" ..."Then you look at me, and i always see what i have been searching for, i'm lost as can be, then you look at me and i am not lost anymore." Quote
davidjag79 Posted March 23, 2011 at 06:46 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 06:46 PM "My Love" by far Quote I have waited for so long...for a miracle to come, A New Day Has Come!! http://i49.tinypic.com/1q1q4i.jpg
celine_rox Posted March 23, 2011 at 07:12 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 07:12 PM A New Day Has Come Quote
drama98nut Posted March 23, 2011 at 07:32 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 07:32 PM "Then You Look At Me" would be a beautiful song to use! I just got married last August and although, I did not use a Celine song to walk down the aisle to I did use "All the Way" for our first dance. Maybe that would be one you woud want to consider?

Celinefanatic07 Posted March 23, 2011 at 07:36 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 07:36 PM The Colour Of My Love would be perfect!!

(wild applause) thankyou for the flowers - Celine after a flower moment 9-22-08
I Love You Posted March 23, 2011 at 07:43 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 07:43 PM The Color of My love, or Then You look At Me would be nice as well. Quote

ennostiel Posted March 23, 2011 at 08:08 PM Posted March 23, 2011 at 08:08 PM If The Colour of My Love is not your favourite, I would go for: I Knew I Loved You or I Know What Love Is or Have You Ever Been in Love Quite slow, touching, and not as classic as TCOML Quote Ce n'est qu'en te croisantQue j'ai su, j'ai compris... ElleEst mon idealLa plus grande etoileEt je veux ressemblerA son portrait fidele...Celine pour toujours. <3
