Broadway Wedding/Marriage Songs#0

Posted: 1/23/06 at 2:50pm

Hi Everyone,

I am new here. I posted this question on another message board and they suggested Broadway World as a good reference.

I am planning a bridal shower for a friend who is a huge Broadway fan. The theme will be Broadway. For the music I am planning to make a CD of great Broadway songs about weddings or marriage. They can be funny, serious, romantic etc. and just have to relate to marriage in some way. But I'm not familiar with all shows, and don't want to miss out on some great songs, so I thought I'd ask all the Broadway fans to give me a shout out with ideas and suggestions. So, if you know a great song that should be included post it here.

Thanks!
Jilly

Sunrise, Sunset from Fiddler.


There's also a song in the musical Shenendoa but I forget the title.

I got rid of my teeth at a young age because... I'm straight. Teeth are for gay people. That's why fairies come and get them

It's already been mentioned, but I definitely just had lyrics to "I'll Cover You" printed on my wedding invitation.

I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

<--- the set of A Midsummer Night's Dream that I was assistant stage manager for during the 2007 season at the STNJ outdoor stage.
