wedding songs
Gracious people of QOTW/OT,
I'll be hanging up my boots next month and becoming an honest man. BE MY WEDDING PLANNERS.
What songs would you suggest as background musak for the event, keep in mind I live in Japan, more than half the guests are Japanese and the hotel is willing to play the backstreet boys and Celine Dion. I need to fill 2 hours.
Help a brother out.

I think I'm turning Japanese.
I really think so.

Played U2's Beautiful Day as our final hymn on leaving the church.

Not as hardcore or obvious as some suggestions but nice sentiment none the less.

I know what you mean...
I was the same listening to their early stuff, then I heard "Kill", and have been converted now!

Live, they're incredible....and very painful :D

Beware
Locals expecting the band to play "a jazz chord".

They may in fact be referring to a Stevie Wonder song....

Thanks all
Some good suggestions there, I might even play some of the obvious pisstakes later in the evening when all the old fogies are gone off to bed.
