SEX

now that I have your attention

So, of late my life is being consumed with all things weddings (as Bob would know). I am trying to let bondigirl look after most of the things as she is super pumped about it all, and loves the whole process. I on the other hand love beer.... anyway.

One thing I am adamant on is music. Music for the ceremony, music for the reception etc. I am far from being a traditionalist so wherever possible I am using contemporary music. Pop, rock whatever.

I am compiling a list of songs I want to use but I just have to decide on when and how to use them. I am 99% or first dance will be to a song called "Better Together" by Jack Johnson. Also, I am thinking of using "Woman" by Wofmother during the time I will be taking bondigirls garter off.

Anyway, to the point. I wan't to surprise bondigirl with a song during the reception. You know, me with an axe and a mic belting out an acoustic tune.... but what? I am agonising over song choice. Bondigirl isn't as into music as I am, so choosing her fav song is hard because it changes weekly...

Can anyone help me out???
p.s if you reading this post still..... I am shocked!

URGENT! URGENT! URGENT!!!
Oh my god!!!!!!! i always said to that the day i get hitched..that was going to be my song.
I do have a great song though..that i absolutely love besides that one...it's by Ben Harper (jack johnson's really good buddy with an amazing voice and great guitar skills) It's called FOREVER. Look it up..you'll change your mind i think! Unless of course you want something a tad faster and more fun than stick with the song you chose. The forever song though she'll really have to listen to the lyrics cause they're great...and a HOTT guy would sing it to her while you dance (which is so traditional by the way).

Uhh us Urgent a song or were you just excited to post? If it is a song, who is it by?

I do know who Ben harper is, I don't mind a few of his songs. I might check out that Forever one. We are going to use Better Together by Jack Johnson as our first dance song, but I also wanted a song to play for her and the people in attendance as a surprise. Me with me guitar, belting out a tune!

Hott.... amazing song choice!

It is definitely being short listed! I played it through a few times, and yeah, it felt great! I really should get into Ben more...

Maybe I should have posted this somewhere else as only you, Bob and Gnappy will see my question? haha

Yeah alotta people choose songs they THINK are love songs, or mean something and mean something completely different.

The amount of break up songs I've heard at weddings is unbelievable!

QUOTE(ddd35)

first of all nobody pays attention to the music anway , they are just there for the free booze and to see if the bride and bridesmaids show some cleavage ..and if there thongs are noticeable thru there dresses .. as far as music from what ive seen from ya here Id say anything by culture club and the village people YMCA would be a nice song ... then maybe some of the tunes that evade say are on te brokeback mountain soundtrack . they say there romantic as hell ....

but seriously rock and pop music isnt a very popular choice around here , they use allot of country songs during the cerimony . I know thats not the way it is everywere but thats the way it is here .. im sure you can find some good ballads that will fit your needs ... the only song that i cared about was the chicago bulls theme song that we enetered the reception to , other then that I could have cared less .. and of course they played the thong song a few times , and booty music which gets the girls shaking there asses ... good luck and get the sex now cause I guarantee it will stop ...

that's actually a cool entrance song to use

well I thought so to , like I said there is way to much time spent on music , dresses , flowers shit like that , the most important is you have plenty of booze , sexy bridemaids and lots of boobs ..i have to nieces that are getting married here next yr and there all worried about the music and shit I told them it , really doesnt matter .. its all for show anyway , none of it makes ya any more married , if I had it to do again and I may , I would have had a very private cerimony and a large blow out reception ...

to me though, music is important. it creates a mood. I know when I'm out drinking and having a good time, good music is essential. granted, you aren't going to please everyone, so at least pick stuff that you personally enjoy for your own wedding.

Call me crazy, but I do not want people barfing in the corner, drooling over bridesmaids showing too much cleavage whilst listening to some hick country singer from Bumfuck Tennesse at my wedding.... I have a little more class!

Also, my future wife is one of the girls who is all about the dream wedding,a nd a happy wife, is a happy life!

Agreed. I consider music to be a massive part of my life, and most of my friends and family know how important music is to me. I would actually say my guests would be expecting a certain level of musical standards at my wedding, and they'll be expecting my music choices to buck the trend of tradition choice

ive been to several 8 -10 keg wedding receptions , never seen anybody barf , usualyy im the bouncer that has to get there keys and such , the fact is the dream wedding is a farse , sorry it will make you no more married then if you go to the courthouse and get married , I recently went to a $15000. dollar wedding and those 2 lasted a yr and were divorced , i also just recently went to a $500 wedding and I think they will be together forever , cause they both realize life is simple and you can put on a show but it really doesnt help in the end ..its all about love and understanding , not the music not anything else materialistic , boys just remember your recieveing this from a man thats been married for 18 yrs .
10 yrs from your wedding date you will think back and say WOW that was stupid .. hell we hired a high dollar opera singer to sing in our wedding , i almost puked when she was done , it was not what was rehearsed ...

it is like explaining algebra to the down syndrome

I am not putting on a show for anyone but myself. Yeah, I am a beach bum most of the times but believe it or not I do enjoy the finer things in life on occasion. Good food at a nice place, nice champagne, nice surroundings, a great honeymoon.... I would never call that a waste of money. I know it makes us no more wed than those who do at the registery but it is what makes my wife happy, and I'm all for it.

Re the music, like I said. My mates (both guys and girls) will be expecting a level of entertainment and music at my wedding because they know I am so musically inclined. If they walked in and heard cheesy love songs or music that had no relevance they would think they had walked into the wrong room.
