Good idea... or GREAT idea!

Oh, at some point of my reception, whenever it may come, the remix of Jagged Edge's "Let's Get Married" is getting played. Just for the beat and the Rev Run part.

 

OK so the basic consensus seems to be that this is a great idea from everyone on the Sports Journalist board right? (Well, except from SPNited who only seemed to latch onto the NY/NY Rafferty connection, surprise, surprise) Now, if i can get the same reaction from the "Reads Real Simple Board" I should be in good shape. Somehow, I think I am in trouble on that board.

 

So is McNuggetsMan marrying McGriddles Girl? That WOULD be the obvious pairing.

 

Whatever song you choose, just make sure the band leader/DJ knows your name. My wife's parents unintentionally gave her and her sister names that rhyme. Our band leader was friends with their family. So when it came time to announce us and have us come into the room, he announced me & the sister's name. Wife & I looked at eachother in shock and refused to enter until he reannounced it using the right names.

 

If she says you can do it, and you do.......and she actually likes it.......you hold on to her.

 

In that situation, it would go...

Clergy: I now pronounce you man and wife.
Raftery: WITHTHEKISSSSSSSS!

 

mrs. shockey and i had the greatest intro EVER at our wedding reception. mrs. shockey worked for mlb at the time, so our wedding was chock full of sportswriters and mlb employees.

so, i arranged to meet with legendary yankees p.a. man bob sheppard -- the voice of god -- to have him tape the bridal party intro for us.

and that was how we entered the room. bridesmaids/ushers, maid of honor/ best man, and bride/groom, announced by sheppard.

we entered to much laughter, cheering and high fives.

try beating that one, class!! 8) 8) 8)

 

We can't. You win.

 

Yeah I think, ONIONS! might fight better in the bridal suite that night.

 

For my sister's wedding, my brother-in-law wanted to have played Elvis' Suspicious Minds (first line: We're caught in a trap), but my sis nixed the idea.

 

You can bookend your plan by going out of the reception to Michael Buffer's "Let's Get Ready to Ruuuummmmbbbbbllllleeeee"
