AndrewHill Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 Any recommendation? Machine Gun. If your future wife can get through that, you're in like Flint. Quote
Dan Gould Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) Any recommendation? Machine Gun. If your future wife can get through that, you're in like Flint. "In like Flynn" (as in Errol) is the phrase. Considering its original sexual connotation, its especially appropriate for future marital bliss: http://www.worldwidewords.org/qa/qa-inl1.htm Edited September 29, 2007 by Dan Gould Quote

porcy62 Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 At my civil wedding we played Zappa's Peaches in Regalia and Rolling Stones' You Can't Always Get What You Want Quote
Larry Kart Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) Any recommendation? This Shelly Manne album http://www.amazon.com/Steps-Desert-Modern-...775&sr=1-37 originally titled "My Son, The Jazz Drummer" (love it that they chose to retitle the album in a rather half-assed PC manner) has a cooking version of "Have Nagila" (sp?) featuring Teddy Edwards. There's another good version on the Carmell Jones Mosaic box, featuring Edwards' regional and stylistic counterpart Harold Land. Whatever, it's a song often played at some weddings.

(BB) Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 Our first dance was Louis and Ella's rendition of "You Go To My Head", after that the emphasis was more on up-tempo dancing. Elvis, James Brown, Digable Planets, whatever it took to keep the bodies moving. Last song was Tom Wait's "The Piano Has Been Drinking". I have heard people say that they didn't really enjoy their own wedding, that's too bad I had a blast at ours. Prior to the dancing we had a string quartet, but if I was going to go with pre-recorded I would make sure to have a lot of Ellington on the list. Quote
Dave Garrett Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 if I was going to go with pre-recorded I would make sure to have a lot of Ellington on the list. Our first dance was to the version of "Daydream" on "...And His Mother Called Him Bill". For the processional we used "The Single Petal of a Rose". And later on in the evening, I'm pretty sure that most if not all of "The Far East Suite" was played. Quote
danasgoodstuff Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 Lots of doo wop and other oldies at my second wedding, don't remember what we listened to at the first one... Quote
Van Basten II Posted September 29, 2007 Report Posted September 29, 2007 (edited) Some Painkiller to make sure that guests don't overstay their welcome and to keep the price of the reception low. Edited September 29, 2007 by Van Basten II Quote
Patrick Posted September 30, 2007 Report Posted September 30, 2007 (edited) Having met in a clarinet section, we used the Adagio from the Mozart Clarinet Concerto (K 622), arranged for saxophone quartet, for the processional. The clarinet part was played, and the arrangement made, by my bride's high school clarinet teacher. Our first dance, by the swimming pool in the backyard (...no one got tossed in), was to Ella and Louis "Cheek to Cheek". For background music during dinner I made a mix tape or two of chamber music and jazz. If you have the time, I'd assemble a mix. Edited September 30, 2007 by Patrick Quote
