Since you guys have had so many suggestions for our first-dance and father/daughter songs (keep 'em coming!), I’m enlisting your help once again—we're looking for the perfect recessional music for our wedding. The song should be upbeat and celebratory since it will play at the end of the ceremony, right after we’re pronounced husband and wife. Yippee!
Here are my top ten, though I’m not in love with any of them. You can listen below. Which ones do you like? Got any better ideas?
I’m happy to report that the Beatles are no longer excluded.
1. Zombies “This Will Be Our Year”
2. Ray Charles “Ain’t That Love”
3. Stevie Wonder “Signed, Sealed, Delivered, I’m Yours”
4. Super Furry Animals “Hello Sunshine” (minus the first 45 seconds or so)
5. Bill Withers “Lovely Day”
6. The Beatles “When I’m 64”
7. Hank Williams “Hey Good Lookin’”
8. James Brown “I Got You (I Feel Good)”
9. Jamie Lidell “Wait For Me”
10. George Harrison “Here Comes The Sun”

I love this! "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" has my vote! I'm betting everyone attending will love that! Grandmas will be grooving in their pews!
Europe "The Final Countdown."
There is no other.
We used Led Zeppelin "Fool In The Rain". It was good for dancing back up the aisle!
This is a no-brainer.

We did "I'm a Believer" (Smash Mouth) - terrific lyrics and really upbeat.
We used the Is version of Over the Rainbow/What a Wonderful World. It was beautiful.
On Here Comes The Sun... We actually used a guitar version of that for the bride walking down the aisle.
Final Countdown is SO going to be my 'entrance' song! On the way into the reception - fog machine, the whole nine yards!
This is a really great top ten list, James Brown's “I Got You (I Feel Good)” is a perfect song for the recessional, why didn't I think of it!??! Anyone can post their own list to our site http://www.toptentopten.com/. The coolest feature is you can let other people vote on the rankings of your list.
My wife and I played "Best Friend" by Weezer and everyone loved it!
The Supremes - I Hear a Symphony
what about "i can see clearly now"?
My wife and I did the Mission Impossible Theme and loved it.
We also had a friend to "Moving on Up" which was incredibly awesome.
My husband and I used "What Is Life" by George Harrison. Everytime I hear the song, I just want to dance and yell "roll the credits, please!"
I vote for the Zombies. That song is so light and hopeful, and is just perfect for exactly that moment.
I always wanted to walk back up the aisle to "I Got You (At the End of the Century) by Wilco.
We used "Morning has Broken" by Cat Stevens.
Happy Together by The Turtles and Two Step by Dave Matthews Band would both be good ones.
