I have the added ball ache of it not being allowed words such as god, heaven, angel etc so it's driving me bananas.

We had this and had to send the songlist of to the venue (or maybe the registrar) for approval before the ceremony.
We saw loads of people online saying that they used Angels by Robbie Williams, so thought we'd stick it in and would remove it if asked to.

But we weren't asked to and it was played without a raised eyebrow or a dash to the iPod.......

A glimmer of hope 🙂

Been married to Mrs Prawny for 7 years and I still haven't danced with her.

A couple of our mates were going to have 'You're the One For Me, Fatty' by Morrisey for theirs, that would have been funny, but they had a band instead.

Isle song: Hippipola by Sigur Ros.
First dance: Destiny - Zero 7
Last song: planned to be Time of your life by Green Day, but after that we snuck Fight for your right by Beastie Boys on again.

Zero7 - destiny

"I'm watching porn in my hotel dressing gown" is certainly not something you'd hear at many weddings

Just the good ones 😉

My (now ex) wife walked down the aisle to a pianist bashing out Lou Reed's [i]Perfect Day[/i] on the joanna. I/We had chosen it months and months beforehand but on the day of our wedding it was all over the media and Number 1 thanks to Children In Need.

With tongue firmly in cheek, a reading was the lyrics to [i]The Wonder Of You[/i] by the king of rock'n'roll 😉

We were going to use Good Riddance (Time Of Your Life) as it sounds really nice, then we listened to the lyrics and found out it's really not!

We did sign the register to the Skyrim theme though...

We had classical and jazz stuff for processional music, only one I really remember was 'Laura' but i can't remember which version (it was my F-i-L's favourite and the reason my wife got her name)

First dance was Something Changed by Pulp, mirroring my speech about the chance happening that brought us together; next song was a floor filling 'Baby I love you' by the Ramones.

We left the reception to 'We have all the time in the world' - the Fun Lovin' Criminals version.
