Wedding songs

[SGV]

I'll be married next year. We are heading to the Caribbean to get hitched. Part of the wedding favors will be a CD of all songs that my girl and I like, and songs that will remind all the guests about the week.

Here's how the conversation went:

(over the phone)
Her: What would you like on there?
Me: Van Halen

She searches the net, and tells me that she got a nice VH song. I get to her house, and we sit and go over the songs.

She plays, "When It's Love."

Me: I can't have that on the CD.
Her: Why not? I thought you wanted Van Halen...
Me: That's not Van Halen, that's Van Hagar and I will not have that on anything related to our wedding.
Her: Well, what's Van Halen?
Me: David Lee Roth.

She searches and find Just Like Paradise.

Her: How's this?
Me: Ehhh...I don't know.
Her: Well...that's Van Halen.
Me: No, that's David Lee Roth.
Her: Yeah...you just said David Lee Roth was Van Halen.
Me: He is, but that's not Van Halen...that's David Lee Roth.

*confused, squinting look from her*

Me: How about Coconut Grove *plays song*
Her: I like that. Is that Van Halen?
Me: No, that's David Lee Roth. (At this point, I was being vauge on purpose...)
Her: Isn't Van Halen David Lee Roth?
Me: Yes, and never forget that. (Then I walked out of the room...)

It was a classic, "Who's on first" type of deal...

So, Coconut Grove will be part of the wedding CD.

Did any of you married peeps use any Van Halen songs at your wedding dance? I think Feel Your Love Tonight would be a great choice!

When my sister (and now brother in law) got married, they rode off in their limo while the PA blasted "Happy Trails"; I thought that was a cool touch.

The last song that played at my wedding was hot for teacher!

at that point there was only the friends left and it was crazy!!!

what a blast to finish the night with!!!

And remember Franksters...
I was the one who asked the D.J. for it...
I was "on his case" to play the songs you guys "grew up" with and we danced the night away like maniacs!
(I have great pictures of that too).

Your wedding was fun and I will never forget it...

During our wedding ceremony, I had musiciens playing "patience" of G&R, "Edie (Ciao Baby)" of The Cult, "Every Breath you Take" by The Police, "Summertime Rolls" by Jane's Addiction, "Going to California" by Led Zep.
and it ended with "Heroes" of David Bowie...

During dinner/party, we chose the mildest/love songs from all of our favorite bands, my favorite (most romantic)
one being "Chemical Wedding" by Bruce Dickinson...

Of course, we also had some mellower artist's songs for the older, more conservative crowd.

The best day of my life!

SHOES!!!... one of my favorite subjects!

You guys have to give it to us, women...
We can wear sensible shoes for work or running errand etc... but when it comes to dressing up (like for a wedding), we "have to" wear nice little shoes, strappy sandals, high stilettos etc...

While all the guys can move comfortably, we keep our smile on, eaven if our feet are killing us dancing.

HHHhaaaa... I know, I am such a fashion victim, especially when I find myself putting band aids on my bleeding toes, the morning after!
