Still crazy? 50 ways? Oh Marion ("the only time that Love is an easy game is when two other people are playing it")? By the way first hearing this I understood: when two OF THE PEOPLE are playing it.

No, Congratulations!

That´s a tough one...

1) Kathy´s Song
2) Bernadette
3) Something So Right

So many of Pauls songs are a reflection of failed Love affairs!

First of all, Congratulations Runar! Lol I´ve always dreamed of playing Paul´s songs at my wedding (my future fiancee had better be a fan :-))

But suggestions for songs:
1. Something So Right (absolute must!)
2. Bridge (cliched but beautiful all the same)
3. That´s Where I Belong

Thanks for the ideas. I knew that this was going to be a toughie because he doesn´t write the same "I Love you so much I could die" cliches that so many do. I also wanted some Bob Dylan songs but I ran into the same problem.

For me the lyrics had to fit the situation so Still Crazy would not do it because it´s about en ex lover. 50 ways is about how you can leave your man, not exactly the right message. Something So Right is probably a goodie. We don´t have any kids but Father and daughter may fit for other couples. Other songs that you suggested for me are going in the maybe pile.

One song though that didn´t came up that is absolutely PERFECTT for the occasion is Nobody. Just read the lyrics and you will understand.

Who knows my secret broken
Who feels my flesh when I am gone
Who was a witness to the dream
Who kissed my eyes and saw the scream
Lying there
Nobody

Who is my reason to begin
Who plows the earth, who breaks the skin
Who took my two hands and made them four
Who is my heart, who is my door
Nobody
Nobody but you, girl
Nobody but you
Nobody in this whole wide world
Nobody

Who makes the bed that can`t be made
Who is my mirror, who`s my blade
When I am rising like a flood
Who feels the pounding in my blood
Nobody

Nobody but you
Nobody but you
Nobody in this whole wide world
Nobody, girl
Nobody


Ofcourse I don´t want just Paul Simon songs for my wedding but 2 or three should be fitting. Thanks for the help and if you still have any comments I will read them.

Congratulations Runar! Hope you´ll have a great day.

My choices would probably be Something So Right, Bridge Over Troubled Water and Loves Me Like A Rock. And maybe Late In The Evening.
