    A colleague of mine got married last week in Australia and I was told that they played the song - "So Beautiful" by Pete Murray as one of their wedding songs (it played just after the ceremony finished - it was an outdoor wedding).

    Here is the song.

    <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FBYX3_-k7dc&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FBYX3_-k7dc&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

    It immediately reminded me of a doucmentary following women preparing for their weddings and they were interviewing a girl who was all proud about how she was going to sing Pearl Jam's "Better Man" to her husband at their wedding.

    If you don't know the song, here it is:

    <object width="425" height="355"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/goiWcak1FXg&rel=1"></param><param name="wmode" value="transparent"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/goiWcak1FXg&rel=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" width="425" height="355"></embed></object>

    Includes the lyrics:

    Waitin, watchin the clock, its four oclock, its got to stop
    Tell him, take no more, she practices her speech
    As he opens the door, she rolls over...
    Pretends to sleep as he looks her over
    She lies and says shes in love with him, cant find a better man...
    She dreams in color, she dreams in red, cant find a better man...

    Again, kind of inappropriate for a wedding song, I would have thought.

    Anyone else been to a wedding where there was an entirely inappropriate song played?

    Not a wedding but I've been to a funeral where inappropriate songs were played.

    A very good friend had been drowned after being swept out to sea on a drunken night out.His body took over a week to wash ashore.

    Bizarrely his parents chose Paul Weller's Pebbles On A Beach as one of two songs to play at the end of a religious service. To say it was a distressing wtf moment was an understatement.As the vicar announced that the second song was by REM I expected it to be 'Night Swimming' which thankfully it wasn't.

    It's a laughable to me now but at the time it created a verey weird atmosphere.

    Love the picture of the two guys passed out on the table. lol

    probably something significant about the dust pattern in the Volvo, but I can't sort it out.

    And thanks for the advise Willie!

    I've had friends that "Highway To Hell" WOULD have been appropriate.

    I get asked to play guitar at weddings all the time. I end up doing probably one or two a year. Usually I'm asked to learn the current sappy crap du jour song on the country charts.

    On the day of the wedding I generally threaten to switch it to "Can't You See (what that woman's been doin' to me)" by the Marshall Tucker Band. Not sure why that never garners more laughs than it does. :ha: Folks get uptight about getting hitched. :ha:

    For my own, purposely (without my wife catching on) I chose Blower's Daughter by Damien Rice.
    Now, the title alone might suggest I hate her mom lol. But that's truly not the case. It's a great song, and I wanted it, but it's more of an 'already split up' type song, and at the end it even says "til I find someone new". Nobody noticed though.
    all people hear is the pretty words. The 'can't keep my eyes off of you' parts and similar.

    My personal fav is when you play piano man at a wedding in which the guests are frat boys. Thats just the kinda thing a brides father/mother/grandmother loves to hear.

    :ha: !

    Two excellent choices! Maybe "Yankee Type Women" would fit as well.
