I know this topic comes up from time to time so just wanted to add that I think that the untitled from Oklahoma City 03 would be great for a wedding. Great song and great version...especially the end.

Got a car, I got some gas
Oh lets get outta here...Get outta here fast
Everyone's confused...I don't blame em from my room
I wanna go but I don't want. to go. alooooone.

I hope you get this message. You're not hoooome.
I could be there in 11 minutes or soooooo
We don't have to pack no things..we'll make it up as go alooong
I wanna go but I dont want. to go. aloooooooone.

I found love... I l found love with youuu
Ive fallen in love...in love with youuuuuu
And with you...with you x 3
with youu i could never be aloooooone.
With you. I could never. be aloooooone.

    While I disagree that this would be a great wedding song, I did post in the Outside Lands review how much I really miss the Untitled intro into MFC ... I always thought it was brilliantly done.

    if only you can cut out the crowd...then i would agree...the crowd just wont fit in a wedding setting

    To clarify, I think this would be good for the reception...not the actual wedding ceremony.

    so a first dance or a reception intro song ... I got that, just think it's a bit forced if you went that route.

    if you can switch the meaning of "lies" from fibbing to laying down, you could use better man...but i still wouldn't recommend it

    Just Breathe is soon to become the staple pearl jam wedding song...

    Not sure about a first dance song... but Golden State has become a fav for my wife and I. Also I have quoted Hail, Hail in two best man speeches...

    I'm hoping to sell my fiance on Thin Air as our "first dance" song. I plan on subtly playing it on the ipod tomorrow on the way out of town and then mentioning how great a song I think it would be . . .

    He's shot down everything else so far, so here's hoping :D

    It's a nice song. I really lke it. But it is too depressing for me to imagine it being played at a wedding. I like to here funk at weddings. I put it on a mixed tape for a girl when I was in high school.

    I wanted Thin Air for my wedding song, my wife won out with her choice, And I love her, by The Beatles.

    I don't think anyone should try to force a PJ song into their wedding dance. The two don't go together well.

    No they do not. But Yellow Ledbetter is always great to close out the reception (I've been to 5 weddings that closed out the reception with Ledbetter, including mine). I wanted to use Betterman as a first dance just for the sheer comedic value but people take first dances way too seriously.

    Yeah and I don't know why, like the majority of wedding "traditions," they're pretty cheesy. I've been to a couple weddings where they didn't do one at all, and I could totally sympathize with those people. One of my friends has talked about how her wedding dance was the most embarrassing four minutes of her life!

    Betterman is mine and my girlfriend's "song" (we just kind of ignore some of the lyrical meaning anymore ;) )

    Parachutes would be a great wedding song!
    Do you see the way that tree bends? Does it inspire?

    I'll not lose my faith, it's an inside job today

    Say, how much do you think it will cost to bring Ed all the way to the East Coast for 2 night's to play some tunes & have some fun at a fan's wedding?

    Just curious!

    my fiance and i like pj's version of love reign or me. not good for dancing...eh...probably go with unchained melody for that.

    Parachutes or Lowlight I think make a good wedding song. I'm getting married in 2011 and if I was choosing a PJ song for our first dance I'd go with one of them I think but we're going with Journey's "Don't Stop Believing" :D

    Love the idea of using Ledbetter as the closing song of the night
