Just wondering if anyone else had something as unique or off color as ours.
We danced to Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog.

I suggested "Shake You Down" by Gregory Abbott to the former Mrs. Sancho.. Needless to say, the former Mrs. Sancho was not amused and 'Shake You Down" was not the song we chose.
**All of these words finding themselves together were greatly astonished and delighted for assuredly, they had never met before**

Really? Nice song. That scene always bring manly tears to my eyes (definitely manly, because I'm tough and rugged, you know). I saw it it in the theater when I was about 6 or 7.
What made you pick that song?

Because the song is a thing of romantic beauty of course and my wife picked it! I was thoughtfully insulated from most of the wedding details. In fact, if memory serves I think the piano version was played when the wedding party was coming in at the actual wedding.

We had a jazz band just improvising and doing free form. There weren't any actual songs performed. They played non-stop for 2 1/2 hours, just flowing the whole time.
A couple of the guests joined in now and then (one guest acoustic guitar and the other clarinet).
We we all pretty juiced.

My brother's wedding had a small live combo. We went to school with the drummer and the keyboard player was a professor in the music department. My brother, I, and the 3rd person in his wedding party all played the trombone (they are pro's and I played in college) so we traded solos over red red wine. It went over pretty well.

Anyone else that didn't have a dance after their wedding?
My wife and I had a small wedding(30 guests) and the reception was at a restaurant with an open bar before dinner. We hired a guitar player to play during the wedding and during the reception.

We danced to From the Clouds by Jack Johnson.
However, our wedding party came in to DJ Kool's "Let Me Clear my Throat" and we came in to "Money for Nothing" starting about 45 seconds into the song, you know the part.

Nice. I love that song.
On another note, my wife and I went to a wedding several years ago that was the result of compromise between the Christian bride and the atheist husband: the ceremony was held in her childhood church by some random guy with an ability to perform marriages, but God was not mentioned once throughout the entire service. Strange.

Look at you girl. Chris Ledoux
Just look at you, girl
Standin' here beside me
Starlight on your hair
Lookin' like a dream I dreamed somewhere
And look at me, girl
You got me actin' just like a lover
In an old time picture show
And how I got the part -- I just don't know
But it's written all across your face
Plain as it can be
You're the one that I was lookin' for
Now you're all that I can see
CHORUS:
You mean everything to me
And I'd do anything to have you stay forever
I'm an ordinary man
But I feel like I could do anything in the world
When I look at you, girl
Verse:
Just look at you, girl
Walkin' here beside me
Misty morning light
I see my own reflection in your eyes
And just smile at me, girl
With eyes that tell a story
That words can never say tellin' me your love is gonna stay
And we're standin' right together now
In everything we do
And if my world should come apart
I'll still be lovin' you
-----------------------------------------------------------
Pain or damage don't end the world, or despair, or beatings. The world ends when you're dead, until then you're due for more punishment. Stand it like a man. And give some back.

Our band's cover (and a very good one at that) of Neil Young's "Harvest Moon."
Kind of a no brainer since we were married in September with a lake front reception and a full moon.

My wife and I consider ourselves "agnostic" (whatever that means). Her uncle, who is an Anglican minister married us. We asked him for spiritual references but not to use the word "God". But he snuck in a few references. Raised my eyebrows at the time but I can laugh at it now.
