    Awesome Awesome… Thanks everyone… These are great! I still have a lot of time to think about this. Nonetheless this is probably one of the most important pieces of the whole day. Hell I saw the dress, tried it on, and bought it that day. I am still stuck on the song that I get walked down the aisle to. I am not sure if it is a Pearl Jam song or something else out there… So keep the suggestions coming – I have 7 months!

    Also, Queen’s – You make me live is rad – thanks for that!!

    Thanks again!

    Hi All,

    So, the wedding and honeymoon are done and now just reflecting on the day! Well, the playlist turned out amazing - went as follows:

    Prior to Ceremony
    - EV - Throw your arms around me
    - Ben Harper – Forever
    - Jack Johnson – Angel
    - Led Zeppelin – Hey Hey What can I do
    - Pearl Jam – Amongst the waves
    - Foo Fighters – Everlong (Live)

    Bridal Party Entrance – Beatles - In my life

    Bride Entrance – Vitamin String Quartet – Sweet Child of Mine (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnwxXNfdsxU)

    Man and Wife – Pearl Jam – Can’t help falling in love w/ you

    Announcement of Wedding Party – Beastie Boys – Fight for your right to party!

    Brother/Sister Dance – PJ – Dock of the Bay

    Last Song of the night – PJ – Yellow Ledbetter

    Our DJ nailed it and everyone complemented the playlist. It was rad! So when everyone ask me the best part of the day, I would have to say at the end of the night. The DJ announced that it was the last song, and Yellow Ledbetter came on. All the guest came around us and starting singing and lighting their sparklers for the grand exit. It was amazing!

    Below is the slideshow - I hope you enjoy! It was probably the best day of my life!

    That is a great final playlist and very happy your day went so well. It makes me remember mine.

    I got married some 13 years ago but the three songs I rememebr most that we had at our wedding were:

    1) First Dance as a maried couple: Night Swimming - R.E.M

    2) Full Wedding Party Dance (right after our first dance): Elderly Woman - PJ

    3) Somewhere in the middle of the dance being in full swing we had the DJ play Corduroy and everyone was on the dance floor and they went nuts just jumping around and dancing and whatever. Somebody had the foresight to take a picture up n a chair with one of our disposable cameras and we got the picture back and I could tell it was of when they played Corduroy and the whole place looks like a mosh pit of fun.

    Wedding day was one of the funnest best days of my life to this day. Only thing better was birth of my kids but also in a differnt way. Just pure "fun" my wedding day/reception...

    This is exactly what I want for my wedding. No doubt that YL will be the last song. Can't wait...

    :shock: I'd never heard of the Vitamin String Quartet before... I just went to YouTube and now felt like I've opened a Pandora's box... I may be glued to my computer for hours now listening to all the covers they've done!
