No, I'm not getting married! What are you on? Anyway, two friends of mine are getting married. To eachother. And they've asked my brother if he could play a few songs (he's more of their friend than I am. Which is why he and not me are invited) and of course he said yes. Now he just has to figure out WHAT to play, and so he asked me if I had any suggestions. So far we've figured out that we won't be playing Disintegration, Bodies or One Hundred Years. But apart from that we're kind of clueless. ;D He's considering playing some classic wedding song (such as Mendelssohn's Wedding March), but allso something more modern. So, you've got any suggestions? Übereil

Robbie Williams' Angels is hugely popular in Britain. That might be worth thinking about.

The chance of my brother playing a Robie Williams song on a wedding... Think of a round number... Oh, and I noticed now I missed writeing the thread title apart. It's one of them mistakes you do occasionally when your mother tongue is Swedish... Übereil

I noticed ;D
What kind of modern music IS he likely to go for then, Ube? I can give you a ton of suggestions, but if he doesn't like any of the groups that's obviously not going to work so well... What kind of thing is he looking for?

I'm not sure what he would and would not go for. The "safest" route would be to just throw as many songs at him as possible and see if anything hits.

Well, I'm assuming White Wedding by Billy Idol is out... ;D
A Man & A Woman by Meat Loaf is incredibly romantic.
If you want something rockier, I'd Fight Hell To Hold You by Kiss.
Lost In your Eyes by Debbie Gibson is another very good ballad.
How are we doing?

I'm speaking of experience in the waitering job, I do a lot of weddings and some have been very original with their wedding songs.
a few of the regulars: "Still the one" from Shania Twain "Against all odds" from Phil Collins "I will always love you" Whitney Houston "Thank you for loving me" Bon Jovi As for my own wedding I picked the music myself and I also picked the songs for my sister in laws second wedding
"I will find you" Clannad and "Dante's Prayer" Loreena McKennit
As for the wedding songs that i found original:
"You're My First, My Last, My Everything" from Barry White "Verdammt Ich Lieb' Dich" from Matthias Reim "Hold me now" Johnny Logan "I'll be waiting" Lenny Kravitz "Candyman" Christina Aquilera "Bei Mir Bist Du Schoen" Andrew Sisters

I think the ultimate wedding song is "Iris" by the GoGoDolls. I probably will dance to that one on my wedding day...
