"So I'm now worried that it's horrendously overused. Tsk."
It's still not nearly as much of a cliche as playing November Rain at your funeral, a crime for which your stiff dead lifeless corpse should be hacked to pieces right there during the fucking procession.
Also, Bjork's singing could put down elephants. A herd of them.

quote:When I get married the traditional "here comes the bride" will be replaced by the Imperial March
Ahh, wedding music. I run the sound at quite a few weddings. One time, due to the fact that I didn't get the CD of "My Baby's a Pig" until guests were already being seated, I couldn't test the pre-recorded music over the sound system. Turns out someone had disconnected my player from the board and didn't put it back. They turn to walk back down the aisle, and... silence. Good thing the piano player was on his toes, but I really think the former Miss Pigg wanted that particular song to play. I mean, grunge rock as a recessional in a church? Great stuff.
About a year ago I went to a friend's wedding. It was an outdoor thing in their yard, and whoever was running sound didn't work on it too long beforehand. He had four or five cassette tapes there with the music on them, and didn't seem to know what was what. We sat there for ten minutes, bride standing at the back, while he desperately wound through all the tapes trying to find the processional.
If there's a sound guy, make sure he knows what he's doing, and that he tests everything. Not just checsk it, tests it. If anything's prerecorded, make sure he has it in advance, and that he knows what goes when. Sometimes people just don't think about things like that. I'm running sound at the wedding of my best friend of sixteen years in just a couple months. NOTHING WILL BE ALLOWED TO GO WRONG.
Oh, and there's a nice piano arrangement of the Final Fantasy IV theme over on ocremix.org called "Tale in Piano" that I always thought would make a good processional. If you like that sort of thing.

Yah... people who don't test the sound and run through the music are asking for problems. I'm going to burn everything to CD so all they ahve to do is hit play, pause, and eject.
Same thing with the music for the reception. I'm burning everything we want played to CDs and I'll get someone to sit and babysit the player. We'll just go from one song to the next and their will be relatively little human element to mess things up.

Now, that's just a lie.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

Yeah. I mean, the LotR main theme is so obviously an attempt to get a Star Warsesque fanfare onto the soundtrack, in order to make money by selling it as a ringtone. Why, Howard Shore might as well have created Crazy Frog! His life is therefore forfeit, and he must report to a disintegration station immediately.
I just sat down with my bride to be and started going over how we want to do this thing. We got some of the basics fleshed out, but within each of the basics, there's all these little things to do. And then my mom starts asking me about showers...

Right after he's let out of the agony booth. As for Crazy Frog, deaths too good.
Oh, and by the way, congratulations Aban.

Her dad's mad at us now because we were off on our own planning things this weekend. Apparently we're supposed to be including everyone in the decision-making process. I have no problem with a "multitude of counselors" philosophy, but it will be counsel on issues of my choosing. I'm not opening up every detail about this thing for family debate.

Something I didn't realise until not so long ago - ok maybe a year, but I didn't mention it to anyone Howard Shore composed the theme tune to Late Night with Conan O'Brien!

That's when you whip out the "Klingon wedding" brochure as your Nuclear Option.
See how fast they leave you alone.
