What kind of music did you/will you get married to

Some of these are hilarious!...8-)

We took a copy of Eva Cassidy's Songbird and used "Over the Rainbow"..Nice stuff!

We had a harpist accomanied by a flutist play for our outdoor wedding. They played background before the wedding and then left after the ceremony.

Then we had a Latin Rock group play for the reception which was really good as the music was enjoyed by all.

For the 'First Dance" I had planned for them to play Louis Armstrong's "Oh, What A Wonderful World" with my Wife's Father beginning the dance and then with me finishing it with her, after the ceremonial 'handoff'. Her Father declared he doesn't dance so my lesson was to just do the dance with her and to forget about his problems.

A lesson that has served us well over the years.

har, odd thread...

my bride snuck off to a 'recording studio' before we did the deed and recorded herself singing Allison Krauss' 'When you say nothing at all'. She then had it played for our first dance ...

...and she's been talking non-stop ever since!

We exchanged vows to "The Cider House Rules" soundtrack in a simple service at our home in the woods. Six friends, three dogs, the preacher and his wife attended.

Proceded to rock the house with gospel music and blues.

I was just thinking about this the other day. The first one that came to mind was as follows. Kind of an odd song in that it is both up-beat and somewhat dark at the same time. Maybe that's why i can relate : )

"I'll stop the world and melt with you
I've seen the difference
and it's getting better all the time"....
"I've seen the future and it's open wide"...

Modern English "I Melt With You".

Another one, depending on whether or not you're having second thoughts, might be:

"and I ran,
i ran so far away"

"I Ran" by Flock of Seagulls

For those couples that are always travelling and don't have time for a formal wedding, they can do a "drive through" wedding in Las Vegas with the following song playing:

"Here in my car,
i feel safest of all,
i can lock all my doors,
it's the only way to live,
in cars"...

"Cars" by Gary Numan

This next one is a two-parter. The first part of the song is for those couples that tend to bicker / argue a lot:

"When a problem comes along,
you must whip it,
when something's going wrong,
you must whip it"

The next part of that same song may help kinky couples look forward to their Honeymoon after the ceremony is over and done with:

"I say Whip it,
whip it good" : )

"Whip It" by Devo

Hope this helps any prospective brides and grooms : ) Sean

PS... Can you tell what "musical generation" i grew up in??? : )
