Im getting married next oct and am going to be planning the music. Every song for the night. The inlcudes cocktail hr, dinner and then the dance floor.

Any suggestions for pj songs that could be good to use. Or any song in general. Thanks

    agreed with ledbetter ending the night... use the gorge version with yl, little wing and the star spangled banner to end
    Small my table, seats just 3, its not crowded, its just lucky me

    We danced our first dance to 'Soldier of Love' - it was fun! :)

    Love the YL for the end idea! I wish we had thought of that one! :D
    Anyway, enjoy the wedding and don't get too stressed out by it all.

    GREAT GREAT THREAD!!!

    I got married in MARCH we came out to PJ BABA FROM THE GORGE 06... 250 people went nuts... Got to the DANCE FLOOR And as soon as we did our whole weddin party startin moshin in the middle with us for a minute... i watch that video like once a week, its amazing!!

    OBVIOUSLY LEDBETTER TO END THE NIGHT... as far as slow dance songs...

    Thin Air... Soldier of Love...

    ALIVE is always fun if there is a bunch of PJ fans there

    Cocktail Hour... if your gonna do PJ... maybe ACOUSTIC (BENAROYA or MANSFIELD 03) or even ED solo stuff/Into The Wild

    and lastly...

    DROP THE LEASH!! hahah... depends on how good the wife's sense of humor is...

    Last Kiss? A song about death is probably not a good choice in my opinion. How about wishlist?

    Duh... forgot a major thing... This was my wifes idea... We werent into the idea of 250 people clicking their god damn spoons every 5 minutes just to watch us kiss... So what we did was

    REPLACED table numbers with NAMES OF PEARL JAM SONGS>.. HEad table was called STATE OF LOVE N TRUST for example... better man was a table, soldier of love was a table... Long Road was one and so on... Smile...WIshlist...

    AFter 1 spoon clicking incident... the DJ announced if you wanna see Joe and Jaime kiss going forward... you have to wave me over and take the MIC and sing at least one live from the song name of your table... IT ROCKED!! Alot of people tried it too which was great... WE got some people singin betterman and soldier of love on video... good stuff and good idea from the WIFE

    THAT IS THE COOLEST IDEA EVER.

    I cringe at the thought of people clanking on their glasses trying to get us to kiss. Just one of the many superficial reasons I hesitated to have a "real" wedding at all! Haha.

    hahah. i would only play that song only when i'm trying to take that thing, what do you call it now, that's around the leg's. the part where i have to bend down and reach for something underneath thy woman's skirt, using my teeth. only then, will that song be played. lol.

    other songs like throw your arms around me, it's ok, definintly love reign on me (which i love with a passion no woman, man or child believes) .. will be playing at the party for sure.

    or .. will have to plan a move, come to seattle, bring all the members of pj back to halifax, for one amazing wedding bash.

    i don't have much time!

    I really like your table names idea. I might try and incorporate into the markers we already have ("fun facts" about our life over the years... it's a phrase I overuse, it's a little inside, ha)! I'm sure I could talk him into it... what's one more PJ detail in our wedding?

    Wedding planning does suck. I know women are supposed to love it, but it's just annoying! There are so many traditions that I just find cheesy. We're not having a "first dance" together. I just don't think I could get through it with a straight face. I have a hard time with stuff like that! Haha.

    our first dance song was "Better Together" by Jack Johnson, i agree about first dances and usually the songs are horribly corny but i thought that was a pretty good choice... "my best man said in his speech that the only other person he has seen make me as happy as she does is Eddie Vedder hhaha" good speech tho... ya the plannin gets annoyin and stressful at a couple different points... but we had a blast at our wedding, it really was just a big party so it worked out...

    here is a tip tho... dont leave to early the next morning for a vacation if your goin to one... our flight wasnt till 3pm and is still was too early!
