They're crap and depressing.

Pff
We're trying to choose a song for our first dance.

Now, have into account that for me, names of English/USA's bands don't mean anything, as I have grown up without knowing if they're good or not. I just listen to a song and like it. I might not like the rest of the album, but just that song.

Each song I've said to Mark comes with a weird look from him and the question: Snow Patrol? Bon Jovi? Coldplay?

Well, I don't know, I like the song. Is that so wrong?

yes it is. too cheesy and/or soppy
the 3 we are choosing from (at the moment) are:
I can hear music by the Beach Boys
Love walked in by Thunder
Pride and Joy by Stevie Ray Vaughn

I think we'll go for a Spanish song
so that he doesn't come with this prejudices. If it's a pretty song that he likes, including lyrics, and I like it too, and it means something to both of us, that's it.

I wanted Highway to hell first, and then Living on a pray, but it seems they're not good for a first dance.

At least we have choosen our cocktail music, wich is going to be all OSTs that we like, such as Star Trek, Back to the future, Superman, Starwars, The Lord of the rings...

that's the sort of thing to go for :-)
highway to hell would be good. most people would probably frown though. the tossers.

that's a cool idea. I'm planning to get some friends of friends to play guitar and sing while we have drinks and canapes etc. they play stuff like john martyn and robert plant + alison krauss, and do it really well

That sounds cool
I don't know how easy is to find a first song that is easy to dance, is romantic, brings some good memories to both of us about us and doesn't sound cheesy.

I think going for Spanish will save me from a lot of discussing.

We want a theme for each part of the wedding, at the moment we have only agreed about the OSTs, but that's easy.

finding something to fit all of those is quite hard
fortunately I think about music more than anything else, so haven't done too badly.

we're avoiding themes and stuff where possible. Keeping everything pretty simple (and cheap). I just want everyone to have some good food and have a good time really. Without financially crippling myself (more so than I have already)

I organised the music for a friend's wedding earlier this year
They already had a DJ booked, but needed music for the actual ceremony (civil service do in the hotel). Music soundtrack stuff like LotR, Batman Begins, Star Wars etc were chosen for the milling around, then the bride walked down the aisle to the Mission Impossible tune.
They also exited to the Indiana Jones theme ;)

Doesn't matter what the song is as long as it means something to you.
It can be the bloody birdy song, as long as it makes you happy.

That's what I think
We've had some special moments when one of these soappy songs were playing, but we can't choose them because ey, no, it's Snow Patrol, my friends would laugh at me forever. Right. Spanish, it is.

Aserejé by Las Ketchup it is then!

Or how about Spanish Stroll by Mink DeVille
On account of it having the word Spanish in the title and being ace?

Some friends of mine have very different taste in music.
He hates all of "traditional" mawkish slow numbers and the only thing of his that they both liked and was anappropriate tempo was "Nothing Ever Lasts Forever" by Echo & The Bunnymen which wasn't the most appropriate sentiment.

Nice choon though.

(Tugnut Ex of this parish, Mon 13 Sep 2010, 15:10, Reply)

'Tis.
I'm just not sure "All the shadows and the pain are coming to you" as they gaze into each others eyes isd quite appropriate.
