Wedding songs...
Discussion
Getting married on the 5th July (getting close now!)
Just starting to think about the music for the big day. We're getting married in a registery office and we've got the following slots to fill:
So we've got a bit of time to fill and we need some suggestions! I quite fancy Lilly Was Here while the guests are assembling as i've always loved the sax on the track, however my better half isn't so sure!
So guys (and gals) what can you suggest. Happy to mix it up between traitional and new songs! The problem is that most of the songs we like talk about losing love!
While we're talking weddings does anyone have any nice readings we could potentially use?
Cheers,
Phill
Don't think my usual choice of music (Eagles, Pink Floyd, Peter Gabriel etc will be that suitable!)

I do feel for you, chap. I deliberated for a long, long time deciding which tunes to play at my wedding (it was all in vain - the stereo f!!cked up).
Anyway. My suggestions.
For "Assembling" (15 minutes is quite long for one piece of music, so here are 2 suggestions): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wbcuteYm-EA , followed by
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X5rX9lEOsSc
For "Procession", Pachelbel is good.
For "Register" try two Elgar numbers http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UqO7yuh8Wsg and

For "Procession", I'd try http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKejfYzB3ak
Hope this helps.
And congratulations!

ahhh, this brings back the 'few' nice memories I have of getting married.
anyway, we had Pachebel - Canon in D for the Bridal procession
for the signing of the register try - Air on a G String (Bach) (it's better known as the Hamlet advert music)
and we also had Mozart Concerto 21
all our guests commented on what lovely choices of music we had chosen and what a nice change it made from the usual choices often made.
have a lovely day, it goes so quickly so get someone with a camcorder to film it for you (you also get to see things that you would have missed as well like guests and the bride arriving etc)
enjoy
