Dave Thorley Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 So here the deal Your going to get married. As Malayka and I did the other week. The formate you are given is 10 mins of general music as people arrive in the church 3 min track as bride walks down the church/Registry office 10 min track to sign paper work 5 min track as everyone leaves What would you choose. timings don't need to be spot on just in the spirit of the thing. Here what we had 10 mins of Marvin Gaye tracks from 'Whats going on' Richard Popcorn Wylie-I can take on the world with you Richard Popcorn Wylie-Lost time Luther Vandross feat Busta Rhymes-Lovely day Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Gene-R Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Lost on everything else except music as bride walks down the church - "To The Aisle" by the 5 Satins Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Ash Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 Not quite on the thread but does revolve around music and a wedding: My wife's best mate got married 3 years ago and chose "Long After Tonight Is All Over" to walk in to. She'd asked me to give her away so I had the task of dragging her down the aisle. We provided the CD to the registary office to play "It's track 24, the last on the cd!" they were told. It must have read the total tracks on the cd, but whoever operated the player must have thought it was in the right place. The doors swing open, Sheryl & I take one step forward - Curtis Mayfield kicks in with "Move On Up" and we stepped back! Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Bogue Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 How about the Dynamics - Misery ! for all the years after the wedding & i suppose on the wedding night you could have 'Tyrone Davis - You Can't Keep A Good Man Down' Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Val (Chunky) Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 ...so long as they don't play Billy bland - 'She's Already Married' Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Guest Spinning Vinyl Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 In church we didnt have an music played as in records, but we was lucky enough to be friends with someone who runs a gospel choir, so we had lots of lovely accapella, ya know that powerful stuff that hits ya right in the chest At night for the first dance we had Paris - I choose you, which so happens is our daughters name Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
Ernie Andrews Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 (edited) The wedding of societys child by Troy Seals - You have to listen to the lyrics hilarious in my view about a siamese cat being the bridesmaid and everyone dressed in black. Or as the groom was thinking 5 minutes after signing the register into his mind comes Lord Luther on Shireck " My Mistake" Just had another thought - Id love someone to play this as she walks down the isle - Tyrone Davis - Can I change your mind Edited May 3, 2007 by Ernie Andrews Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...

Guest mrs norman maine Posted May 3, 2007 Share Posted May 3, 2007 I've said it once before, but it bears repeating: My recommendation for the trot down the aisle is The Magic Tones' 'Great Day'. Especially for the excellent lyrics, which reveal the lead singer's confession that he's been at fault all along and not the bride. What took him so long?

Maria O Posted May 4, 2007 Share Posted May 4, 2007 (edited) Soul inc..my proposal.. Somebody suggested this to me, but I could never understand why anybody wants to hear a record at their wedding, where the guy commits to not cheating on her (as if!) For our wedding last year, we pulled out a stack of our own records and eventually chose these for the service BEFORE THE SERVICE : And In Return - Shiela Ferguson BRIDES ENTRY: Lucky Guy - Charles Mintz STRAIGHT AFTER/DURING OUR KISS : You're the Best - LaRom Baker WALKING OUT: Your Love Is Getting Stronger - The Four Voices The reading was the words to Belita Woods - That's When I'll Stop Loving You Even the rings came in on a record, not cushion... symbolising how the music brought two souls from different sides of the world together ...and no, it wasn't tacky! For the meal, I compiled a 3 cd mix of love songs, also from our respective vinyl collections. They would take a while to list, but it's all still on my laptop and just giving me a smile now - Oh yes... and I cried like a baby when our godess Maxine Brown phoned to congratulate us m Edited May 4, 2007 by Maria O Link to comment Social source share More sharing options...
