i know it's cheesy, but i wanna know . . .
here's my question . . . i was thinking about it the other day and i decided that the music people pick for their weddings says alot about who they are and alot about their relationship and about their ideas of love and marriage and comitment in general . . .so, i want to know this:
if you are married or were once married, what music was in your wedding? did you choose it or did your spouse? was the choice important to you or did you not really care? do you think that music and it's themes have been reflected in your relationship since then?
if you are not married, what music do you hope to use in your ceremony when you do get married? why? do you even care?
if you never plan to get married or don't (unlike me) pre-plan this day far in advance (even before you've met the bride/groom) have you been to weddings where they've played a song and you've thought "that was awesome!" or "really? why did you choose 'i honestly love you'?"
think of this as a research project of sorts. thanks for your participation.
----------
the music we had in our wedding is as follows:
"the three of us" -- by ben harper (when the girls lit the candles)
"like a bridge over troubled water" -- by simon and garfunkle (when the grandparents and parents were seated and the groom and officiant walked to the front)
"forever"-- by ben harper (when the wedding party walked down the aisle)
"songbird" -- by denison witmer (when the flower girls and i walked down the aisle)
a song i might never hear again and don't know the name of -- written and perfomed by jake white (during the candle lighting ceremony)
"tonight, tonight" -- by the smashing pumpkins (when everyone exited the scene)
"something in the way she moves" -- by james taylor (while we dismissed our guests row by row -- instead of a receiving line)
"i'm gonna be (500 miles song)" -- by the proclaimers (same as above)

now you know more about me than you ever thought you would . . . sort of.
