ROCK n ROLL BRIDES!!!??

We used some non-traditional music.

Bride processional: Something-The Beatles

Recessional- The Shade-Metric

Family/Bridal Party Entrance: Home-Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeroes

Couple Entrance: Alive and Amplified-The Mooney Suzuki

Cake Cutting: Best Friend- Queen

Last song: Safe and Sound-Capitol Cities

Our first dance and parent dances were more traditional

First dance: All of me-John Legend

Father/daughter: What a Wonderful World-Louis Armstrong

Mother/Son: My Wish-Rascal Flatts

We're entering our reception to the Raspberries "Go all the way"

I might walk to whole Lotta love by led zeppelin.

My fiancé is a big fan of the 80's hair bands (and I am, too). Our first dance song will be an acoustic version of "Love of a Lifetime." We're still working on incorporating other songs throughout. We're considering "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" (the Queen version) for our reception entrance.

Come and get your love - redbone

That's our song! But we're having a pianist play tons of oldies since we love them! As a couple we've seen van Halen and acdc twice !

I will be walking to

"Patience" intro by Guns N Roses. (Sums up the begining of our relationship)

Our first dance together will be

"Baby, I Love You" by The Ramones

Mother son dance is

"Simple Man" by Lynyrd Skynyrd

End of ceremony is "Please Don't touch" by Motorhead & Girlschool

Still thinking of the others..

But for cocktail hr we'll be playing some good old rock n roll. Wanda Jackson, Eddie Cochran, Johnny Burnette, Johnny Cash.. while throwing in some honky tonk, Hank Williams, Hasil Adkins, David Allen Coe, Waylon Jennings (may be different than the norm.. but so suits us)

That's all we have so far.

We used the instrumental or orchestra covers of; All you need is love by The Beatles, Nothing Else Matters by Metallica, You Shook Me All Night Long by AC/DC, Sweet Child O Mine by Guns N Roses, November Rain by Guns N Roses, My Immortal by Evanescense, Never Gonna Be Alone by Nickelback. Then for our song after the ceremony we used the original version of Amber by 311. Our first dance was to Love Will Keep Us Alive by the Eagles. ETA - We also used the instrumental of Smooth Criminal by Micheal Jackson and Purple Rain by Prince.

I Can Feel Your Heart Beat, the Partridge Family

Heh heh! LOL!!

My father and I agreed to have our father daughter dance to a cover of Sweet Child O' Mine (jasmine thompson). Not quite rock n roll anymore then, but still.

Also, going to older music our first dance will be to Stand By Me by Ben E. King.

We have a range of music interests. We are going to use some Beatles songs, Grateful Dead, etc. I'm a jazz and blues singer so I also like standards for reception music.

First dance is probably going to be Harvest Moon (Neil Young) or Crazy Love (Van Morrison).

I can't decide on a processional. I think I want my musical partner (guitarist) to play a version of a Beatles song but I can't decide just what yet...

We are using Ain't that a kick in the head by Dean Martin as the recessional and Can't help falling in Love ( Elvis Presley) - but using the Haly Reinhart version. for the bride processional.

ETA: I missed the part about 80's songs we have Take Me home tonight by Eddie Money as the last dance, and the way you make me feel by Michael Jackson as the grooms / groomsmen processional. Our first dance isn't really an 80's song but comes from an 80's themed movie Grow old with you by Adam Sandler ( The wedding Singer)

@Sabrina B.....really??? I'm checking this out!!!!

@Rita G......love idea of Simple Man, great tune!!!

@Mrs Sitzman love all those songs!! Where did you play nothing else matters and Purple Rain?? :+)

We are using All You Need is Love by The Beatles as our recessional song, and a cover of Sweet Child O' Mine for the father daughter dance. I grew up listening to Guns N' Roses on repeat with my dad, and The Beatles with my stepdad, so both have significance!

I tried suggesting Simple Man for mother-son dance, but FMIL wasn't digging it. Serious bummer, that's one of my faves!

@2nd time I LOVE those songs by Young and Morrison......actually love Into the Mystic too!!!!

@future Rios I'm going to suggest to my FMIL to which she'll likely also shoot down but I think it's perfect!!!!

This is my favorite post ever on this forum. Lol

We had a solo violinist for the ceremony/cocktail hour. DH walked to Here Comes Your Man by the Pixies, I walked to I Will by the Beetles. Violinist also played Bohemian Rhapsody, Blackbird, Imagine, All You Need is Love. Our cake cutting was to Queen's You're My Best Friend. Our reception entrance song was Just like Heaven by the Cure-That was DH's choice. He was an 80's kid, I wasn't

@SabrinaB.....I think i have my bridal march music to satisfy my mom's need for traditional and mine for rock n roll!!! It's perfect .....love this thread TOO!!!!
