I am not getting married anytime soon, but I can't help thinking about what I will play when that big day arrives...

Future Days seems to be the obvious choice.

Other suggestions?

    Maybe a live version of Harvest Moon edited to reduce the crowd noise?

    Just to make things fun, why not "Don't Gimme No Lip?"

    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.

    I'm a wedding photographer and the proper answer is Future Days.
    Amongst the Waves is pretty good too, I prefer it to Just Breathe.
    Wishlist, maybe.
    There's a lot of wrong answers.

    I figured he would have suggested Leash.

    We had a friend sing "Picture in a Frame," which is kind of a PJ song.

    We used "Longing to Belong" by EV.

    If "Future Days" had been released at that time, probably would have used that.

    My wife and I went with Future Days. I played it on the acoustic for her on the beach during our honeymoon as well.

    We used Just Breathe, worked pretty well
    Wouldn't it be funny if the world ended in 2010, with lots of fire?

    married on Saturday past... wife asked me for suggestions... I gave her a list of songs to choose from, she went with Future Days... (note that it was the only PJ song on the list and she's not a big fan)...

    I am not a huge fan of the song, but it is perfect for the situation... and it will always have the meaning for me now.

    my first choice, which i would suggest to anyone, is distantly PJ related.... Song of Good Hope by Glenn Hansard... it's a beautiful song... my wife wanted something more literal tho...
    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.
