Memorable wedding music
So, getting hitched in a few weeks. Scowling Owl has decided we're having a Western themed wedding....which I'm fine with.
She's asked me to ask married people I know what memorable music they had at their wedding during the reception and pre the ceremony. We seem to have a good handful of happily married people on here, so I figured you would have some good selections.
Do not worry about it being from a particular genre, that doesn't matter. I have however been instructed that no Metallica or Judas Priest will be played.
If you can suggest anything that didn't get played at your wedding that would also be greatly appreciated. The more information the better.

But seriously, I have actually emceed and planned several weddings for friends including music.
Memorable songs, for sure, but also keep it fun. Avoid "too many" slow love songs..had one couple that filled the playlist with them and no one really got into the celebration mode. Classics are fantastic for the slow songs, and stuff like Van Morrison is a sure winner as they are generation gap spanners. Pick songs you both like, as they will likely also pertain to the friends you invite..
Something fun we did with a "first dance" song for one couple was, because he hated slow dancing (ie:didn't know how..lol), we started out with the first few verses of "Love Me Tender" by Elvis and then spliced in "The Twist" for the rest of their dance...that was a big hit...
For background music as the couple enters the hall/reception, we have used Garth Brooks "two of a kind (working on a full house)" a few times..
I have managed to work in one meager Judas Priest tune, but not from their earlier years which are my favourite. Metallica, unless there is some 'technical error' will not likely be appearing on the song list which is really sad because GF's Dad is possibly bringing some HUGE Klipsch pa's to hook up to my amp.
The boss reliably informs me that "our" song was "When I'm With You" by Sherriff. Excuse me while I seek medical attention for what I am sure is a concussion . . .
^^^ This, shouldn't we send a PFC contingent?
Nice to be loved.
Here is a few popular songs, although they are kinda cliche:
Wonderful Tonight- Eric Clapton
Red Red Wine- UB40
You Shook Me All Night Long- ACDC
Stairway to Heaven-Led Zepplin
If I think of more, I will update ITT
Lets just crash and set up a huge cash game negating the need for music all together....
Just passed this on to Scowling Owl (bride to be), she just shook her head. I believe she's on the phone with my Mom arranging a security crew of the select from the special handling unit at Millhaven. We haz connections.
She did say that she specifically put all your invites in the mailbox weeks ago...
This will likely (for sure) be edited.

wicked crossing of the genres by the way. quite the fearless mix. From Ton Loc to Shania Twain to johnny mathis to barry white.
As for the crossing of the genres.... We're having a Western themed wedding, thus the country additions. But we needed to add some others in to keep things interesting. I've always been a fan of Frank Sinatra, Marley, etc.
Cash game. You guys are just going to keep this up aren't you. There is supposed to be a stag and doe at some point this week with a Vegas theme. I pray to god there's going to be a game. Wifey to be asked if it could just be a 'ceremonial' game that would be over quickly????????????????????????????? She doesn't want a bunch of people all of a sudden focusing on poker and not milling about and chatting.
She's obviously not bought in to the Vegas theme.
