    Our wedding cake had the stickman figures on top, but they were modified with a tux and dress.... Which worked well because I am a male and she is a female.

    We eloped and got married before the Ed show in Memphis and went to the show in our wedding attire. Our best wedding gift was a show by the man himself and a kickass poster by Munk One that somehow perfectly fit.
    Later in the summer we had a family reception. My aunt in law decorated our cake with the three crooked hearts, which were also in the header of our invitations. Each of our tables was named like a PJ song, I still have the table map :)

    Please, Pearl Jam, consider a Benaroya Hall vinyl reissue! http://community.pearljam.com/discussion/148993/please-pearl-jam-consider-a-vinyl-benaroya-hall-re-issue

    I got married last saturday!
    As the first song we played Future Days, when we sign the papers and leave the Registry Office......for the opening we danced to Just Breath.
    To the conclusion the DJ played Yellow Ledbetter, and the rest of the people in attendance danced one last time together on this evening / morning........
    It was awesome, a great day for me and my wife :x :-c

    A friend of ours played YLB/ Little Wing on his guitar while we did the "wedding dance" ( Not sure if there is a special song/tune in US but in Denmark we have something called "brudevals" and the crowd gathers around you and gets closer and closer and finally the pick up the groom and take of his shoes and cut of the tips of his socks ) we ended of course with that …

    There is a version of harvest moon where Eddie toasts a couple at the end, it would sound like he's toasting you personally!

    Not PJ, but we went with Chris Cornell's cover of Thank You. Also walked back down the aisle to setting forth and had other songs such as just breathe and without you played whilst signing the register etc.

    Never knew that mate, that's awesome!

    Setting forth is a particularly apt choice for a wedding I think

    No way I would have been able to persuade mrs f with that ilk of songs!

    Congrats man, great. Here's one for ya:

    Inxs-beautiful girl. Posted the song on the robin Williams thread because of the connection of depression and suicide. But the song isn't about that.

    Back in 05' we decided no Pearl Jam in the wedding. It was a good decision - made a huge hand picked playlist of everything from James Brown to The Darkness and people had a blast.

    I wouldn't get too excited about making wedding plans... lol... I learned early on in the process that my female had a very specific agenda for her wedding, and if my opinions didn't align with her agenda it just resulted in a fight... very early on I learned to just say "yes" and let her do her thing... i'd advise all men to do the same... lol...

    i had decided the same thing... but she decided on future days for the first dance, and as per my post above, I just said "yes"...

    I really wanted Song of Good Hope by Glenn... but whatever, it still went off great.

    my wife had picked everything else that was played... she wanted poppy dance songs... I just said "yes"... it's her day after all...
    Houston, Texas... Believe it or not, there are 7 million people here... must be a couple of fans who'd love to see you play.

    Lyrics remember old friends who couldn't be there. Advice the old can't give away, that the youh wouldn't listen to anyway. All you need is Love. Sounds like a wedding to me!

    Hard to Imagine no one's suggested this yet...

    My wife and I were married 12 years ago. She walked down the aisle to "bron-yr-aur" by Jimmy Page. After our vows, we played "can't help falling in love" pearl Jam live Memphis 2000. Our first dance was to "true love waits" radiohead live. It was pretty sweet, especially when the guitar kicked in during CHFIL. Still rockin, and looking forward to St Paul!
