The Wedding Song Advisor

So, I’ve been reading a lot about Eminem in the news lately. He’s got a new hit on the charts. He’s been pretty succesful, maybe he wants to settle down, start a family. So, my question is: what if Eminem got married? What music would be playing at his ceremony? What about during the reception? Would there be any gun play at the wedding?

So NewsDay has a feature about so-called environmentally friendly weddings.  The writer, Linday Daily, talks about how she is going to use a string quartet for her wedding ceremony, because “live bands us a lot of electricity”.  Ha ha, that is the best excuse for using a DJ (instead of cheesy wedding band) I have ever heard. It’s kind of neat that people can make up environmental excuses for almost any choice nowadays.

So, the wedding website theknot.com has a list of the top 10 wedding songs for 2009. 

http://wedding.theknot.com/wedding-planning/wedding-music-ideas/articles/top-10-wedding-songs-for-2009.aspx

The article is an interesting read but I would like to know what makes these songs the “top” 10.   The article does not discuss how this list was compiled - did the author just pull these songs out of the air? 

We here at findweddingsongs believe that articles like this are useful guides for planning a wedding, but it does encourage originality.   Please do get ideas from websites like TheKnot, but please don’t follow the herd mentality. 

We hope that you have a memorable and original wedding.

The Wedding Advisor

Today, the Wedding Advisor continues our travels through beautiful Italy.  Being here sure gives me lots of ideas about how romantic a wedding can be.  Here, it is quite common to see bridal parties parading down the streets.  Another common sight is to see a groom serendading the bride.  For more Italian wedding customs, read the excellent article at  http://blog.chateauandvillaweddings.com/italy/wedding-customs-and-traditions-of-italy

Speaking of serenading, what song would you like to hear if you were being serenaded?

Ciao!  Today, Wedding Advisor comes to you from beautiful Italy. Land of romance and mozzarella. We love Italian wedding songs and we wish we heard more at today’s modern weddings. Some of our favorites artists are:
Dean Martin
Louis Prima

and of course, old blue eyes himself, the chairman of the board, frank sinatra. Who your favorite Italian artist? What are your favorite songs?

What is the most inappropriate wedding song you have heard at a wedding?
Best (or worst, rather) song wins a a free findweddingsongs.com coffee mug.

Guess the song playing and win a free t-shirt!

This is totally money. I just heard on the wire that Vince Vaughn is engaged to Kyla Weber, a Canadian realtor. The 38-year old start of such movies as Swingers, Wedding Crashers, and the Breakup has never been married before.

Let’s hope that this love store does not become another case of life imitating art.

Way to go, Vince!

By the way: If you were dj’ing Vince Vaughn’s wedding, what music would you play?

 

Does anyone really need to hear Etta Jame’s At Last? What about the The Chicken Dance or The Macaranea. I say it’s time to bury these songs and start a new wedding song movement. What do you think?
