wedding stuff

he he Liz, I know what you mean! We didnt have any music other than our first dance song (one by Live) as we got married on the beach, so the crashing waves and wind were our music!

thanks. we are actually married - have been for five years. thought ew might have the wedding now!

Well I had heaps of music at mine (but I am a musical person).

I had 2 trumpeters at the ceremony to play for me walking in (2 friends of mine).
A CD I made up to have going after the ceremony finished.
I made sure we had the right song for our first dance
And I made sure the DJ had a list of songs that we wanted played.

Up to you if you don't want that lovey dovey music don't have - we didn't and made sure we didn't.

We are having a mix of things that is really us and things we like - not at all too soppyish and gooey.

we have things in our lead up songs (pre-wedding music) like blondie - one way or another, lol, final countdown, the last song played before we walk down is going to be mikes absolute fav "sandstorm" by darude, to get him all freaked out and hyped up lol and heaps of other stuff like that, chasing cars by snow patrol, hanging by a moment by lifehouse etc - am walking down the aisle to shakira - underneath your clothes, lol, mike wants kermits rainbow connection in there somewhere (lolololol PMSL) and we have the version of bryan adams Heaven that was done by dj sammy.

long story short - take what you like and make it your music - songs that have meaning for you - alot of ours have been ones that bring back memories of things or suit us well, more modern ones and a few oldies but also techno-ish stuff, a real mix.

It doesn't have to be gooey.

i did. it was scary. i'm back

I waqlked down the aisle to thetheme music from 'the Princess Bride' (my favourite movie), then we had Metallica's Nothing Else Matters (version with San Francisco symphony orchestra) for when we were signing the registry (DH big Metallica fan but it is a really nice piece of music) and Your Love keeps lifting me higher (I can't remember which version LOL!!) when walking back down the aisle. Then we just had a juke box for the dance part - worked well.

It's easy to spend heaps but the most important part is that it's special to you and your DH and thats all that matters.

I'm not scary!!! Gee you were a 2008 bride not long ago Janine!
We're having Princess Bride theme song Tiff, DF agreed after i explained it was sung by Mark Knofler.

Depends of course on whether you have a DJ, stereo or instrumental music.
Friend of mine had a stringed trio for their ceremony and lots of lovely orchestral music, they had 4 seasons for the signing of the registy.
