wedding intro music

[cutout]

I'm getting married on Saturday and neither my fiancee or I have music picked out. It's a pretty non-traditional wedding and we're looking for something pretty and nice for the walk down the aisle, but something that's also contemporary and not deadly serious. Any suggestions?

[Martin]

My friends walked out to Love Me Tender. Just saying. I don't have any great suggestions.

Congratulations!

[yesno]

Iron Man.

My fiancee chose the instrumental version of Hey Jude from Royal Tenenbaums, but it might be kinda long for you depending on how many people you have walking.

I also like the Wilco song "Someday some morning sometime"

Congrats!

[Andy]

M for Me by Billy Bragg.

[John Junk 2.0]

Sitting On A Fence

[Chris L]

The funky version of Also Sprach Zarathustra

[Martin]

Since it's almost (still) Christmas on Saturday, how about something from this?

[A.M. Thomas]

Amiina might be a good non-traditional choice for something like this:

Or, less seriously, any of these songs:

Or maybe just organ music?

[A.M. Thomas]

P.S. I could send you .mp3s of the Amiina album if you want.  I think it would be a really nice choice.

Love that Only Ones record, but probably too rockin'.

The Amina suggestion is great!

A friend of mine insists he's getting married to 'Plays John Cassavetes' by Ekkehard Ehlers - http://www.last.fm/music/Ekkehard+Ehlers - which is here. It's a really beautiful piece. Maybe falls a little heavily on the serious side, but it's got that wonderful undercurrent of joy and tempestuousness and harmonic balance that any good wedding (in a film, in my mind) has.

Have a listen, it's a good song whether you're getting hitched or not.

The Amina and Ehlers songs are fantastic, I'm trying to convince my fiancee right now.

FWIW, the wedding is in a live arts theater and we'll be getting hitched on the Sweeney Todd set. There will also be a Top Ten list segment ("10 Reasons the Bride and Groom Should Get Married") with crowd participation. Outro music will be "This Will Be Our Year" by the Zombies.

I won't know til it's too late whether any of this is a good idea.

I love this song so much.  Fantastic choice!

Sounds like an amazing wedding to me.
