I don't know the exact titles offhand, but:

- "Morning has broken"
- "I can't help... falling in love with you"
- Hava Nagila
- Some good Celtic reels

    Beethovens Spring Sonata(on strings)instead of here comes the bride :P
    Barefoot performed live by kdlang mid ceremony :)
    Nessun Dorma performed live by Pavaroti as we leave the church...victorious!!!!

    As you can see, I am not very confident that gay marriages will ever be legalized in my state...so I can dream.

    I made it clear that she could have absolute control over every other aspect of the wedding, but the music is my department and no way in hell were we hiring a DJ. I wanted a jazz quartet, period, and if any of the guests didn't dig it they needn't attend. So there! ;)

    "Have I Told You Lately" by Van Morrisson. Two years later, everyone was using the same song sung by Rod Stewart, but we set the trend with the original.

    It's a Mel Torme rendition of a swing song. I don't remember the title, but one of the lyrics is "Do I love you because you are beautiful, or are beautiful because I love you." It was the wedding song when I was married.

    It always bothered me that Cookie Monster (from Sesame Street) loved cookies, but didn't really eat them. He put them in his mouth and chewed, but he has no throat, so the crumbs would all explode and fly off. He was a cookie destroyer! What a waste!

    We spent a lot of time choosing songs and hymns for our wedding, and wanted to avoid any songs that were along the theme of heterosexual unions being ordained by God at the exclusion of anyone else. As far as hymns went, they were mainly hymns about community and the eucharist. We had the Indigo Girls "Power of Two" playing before the service and a during the service some friends sung a song they'd written called "River of Love".

    thanks topper, part of the reason was that we'd been to a friend's wedding where I had spent the day with another friend, Michael, who is gay. It was painful to see the ceremony through his eyes: while these people are gay-friendly, their wedding ceremony was incredibly exclusive, when it didn't need to be. One of the most beautiful things that happened at our wedding was when Michael and Geoff (the friend who had the exclusive wedding) danced together like they used to when they were crazy University students, when they hadn't really talked to each other for a year.
