So now that I've got that out of the way, I guess I've just gotta get the whole proposing and what not out of the way.... but anyway. I'd like to think that's at least a somewhat unconventional song to choose as a first dance (although if it's not, please enlighten me).Black Charleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01937965900330633842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-49860869933455969432009-01-29T17:34:00.000-05:002009-01-29T17:34:00.000-05:00wow thats alot of stuff did they close the elvis c...wow thats alot of stuff did they close the elvis chapel in vegas? that would be funAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-78625025501491439762009-01-29T16:31:00.000-05:002009-01-29T16:31:00.000-05:00Congratulations to you and to the lady, too!.I jus...Congratulations to you and to the lady, too!.<BR/><BR/>I just love weddings (sniff, sniff)Karen Popehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02083733993797635876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-84593646329752834192009-01-29T16:15:00.000-05:002009-01-29T16:15:00.000-05:00Hey Ya to get dancingWalk on the Wild Side to get ...Hey Ya to get dancing<BR/>Walk on the Wild Side to get heads cocked wondering what gives<BR/>Nothing Else Matters to get poignant and deepOra - Looking for Offramphttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739734614503390433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-24540643926843672692009-01-29T12:05:00.000-05:002009-01-29T12:05:00.000-05:00I'm thinking "Burning Down the House" by the Talki...I'm thinking "Burning Down the House" by the Talking Heads.

Yes, we too eschewed the wedding singer.<BR/><BR/>1). Grow Old With Me - John Lennon. Check it out. Still makes me cry. But I'll deny it if you ask again.<BR/><BR/>2). Under My Thumb - Rolling Stones.

My wife and I kinda did things bass ackwards. We got married in December 2007 @ City Hall, I had my Bachelor Party @ Sundance Utah in January 2008, our Honeymoon @ Key West/Opening Day in Miami in April 2008, and our reception in Potsdam, NY (which unless you like college hockey, avoid) which neither me nor my wife had any part in preparing or planning in July 2008. I don't envy you one bit.<BR/><BR/>One final question...When's the date?<BR/><BR/>Good luck.Sassdawg.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00813276742493198160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-30819504180023402932009-01-28T23:56:00.000-05:002009-01-28T23:56:00.000-05:00A few suggestions...bob seger: night movesdire str...A few suggestions...<BR/><BR/>bob seger: night moves<BR/>dire straits: romeo and juliet<BR/>elton john: tiny dance<BR/>Almost any frank sinatra song<BR/>george harrison: got my mind set on you.<BR/>huey lewis: power of love<BR/>phil collins: pseuseudo<BR/>James: laid<BR/>Joe Dassin: Les Champs-Elysees<BR/>John Lennon: oh yoko<BR/>U2: beautiful day<BR/>Louis Armstrong: What a Wonderful World<BR/>Marvin Gaye: let's get it on<BR/>Rod Stewart: Rythm of my Heart<BR/>Rolling Stones: let's spend the night together<BR/>Tom Waits: Waltzing Matilda<BR/>Warren Zevon: Werewolf of London, keep me in your heart.Rickey Jr.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04482693350993161279noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-56057990752385725252009-01-28T22:45:00.000-05:002009-01-28T22:45:00.000-05:00Forgot: as a couples dance, we did the Taj Mahal ...Forgot: as a couples dance, we did the Taj Mahal - Bonnie Raitt duo "I Need Your Lovin' Every Day."Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8028421806345240705.post-77669281939358228262009-01-28T22:44:00.000-05:002009-01-28T22:44:00.000-05:00We had local blues band (award-winning and they ev...We had local blues band (award-winning and they even write their own music too!) Root Doctor play our wedding. All night, it was old-school blues and r&b. <BR/><BR/>"Our song" was Taj Mahal's "What Am I Living For [if not for you]."<BR/><BR/>The wedding party was introduced to the Blues Brothers intro piece, which is a sped-up version of the beginning of Otis Redding's "I Can't Turn You Loose." Root Doctor then picked up the rest of the actual song, and the crowd rocked.<BR/><BR/>The Smittys had one fuck of a wedding. Some people are still drunk.
