wedding song regrets

The first time one of Our Core Group got married, some guys felt the need to request "Glory Days" and, subsequently, the need get the bride and groom hoisted on their shoulders. Nine or 10 weddings later, come 10:45 or so, Bruce comes on and the newlyweds go up.

Kind of our fun, little wedding tradition.

 

What's the point of having a mullett if you don't spend the rest of your life regretting it?

 

"When A Man Loves A Woman" by Percy Sledge.

Regrets?

Only that Little Steven selected the same song but actually was able to find Percy Sledge and get it to perform it at his wedding. That was way cooler than anything we could have come up with.

The second dance was "Train In Vain" by The Clash.

 

That made me and my wife laugh very hard
(And no, we don't regret it).

 

Instead of the wedding march, a friend of mine in Arizona, last month, for his second marriage, used Bruce Springsteen's new cover of "Once Upon a Time in the West" as the wedding march. His wife was brought in on a horse-drawn carriage.

It won't happen for me - kind of a loner - but right now, I would have to pick Stevie Wonder's "Ribbon in the Sky."

 

"I Cross My Heart" By George Strait is one of the more common wedding songs.

Friend and his wife used "You're the Inspiration," by Chicago.

 

We went with "It Had To Be You," the real version, and we don't regret it.

Second song was "Dancing Queen." Don't regret that.

I don't remember the third song. I regret that,

 

Your wife has great taste.

Although Shania's "From This Moment On" is probably a better fit for a wedding. The 83,739,239 couples who have used it can't be wrong.

 

My wife's best friend used that song. She was divorced two years later. Hubby beat her. Not good times.

 

This song reminds me of a funny story.
My wife's father passed away two summers ago (not funny, I know). I went with the family when they were picking out the tombstone. My mother-in-law had them put the phrase "Our love is 'Evergreen' " at the bottom because Streisand's "Evergreen" was their wedding song.
When I started laughing, I had to explain what was so funny.
I said to my wife, "Honey, you can use 'I Will Be Here' on my tombstone." Our wedding song was "I Will Be Here" by Stephen Curtis Chapman (a beautiful song with a great story behind why he wrote it).

 

Dr. J and I danced to "The Blower's Daughter" by Damien Rice because it's our song.

However, Iron & Wine's "Such Great Heights" and "All I Know" would've fit too.
