I went to a reception where one of the first songs was Joan Jett…“I Hate Myself for Loving You”:ehh: :doh2:!
 
I was a maid of honor in my best friends wedding a few (many!) years ago and she asked me what songs I thought would be good to play during her wedding. Teasingly I told her, "How about “Tonight’s the Night” by Rod Stewart? :o

Or maybe Kool & The Gang’s “Do A Little Dance, Make a Little Love, Get Down Tonight!”

She told me I was a loser. :eek:
Teasing back of course! 😃
 
Back to The Rose song that was mentioned earlier. I have always LOVED conway twitty and he sang a beatuiful version of this song. well my male cousin who sings wonderfully, can sound like any male country singer out there, agreed to sing Conways version of it, but we couldnt find the music w/o the lyrics anywhere, so we had to settle for the bette midler version. he totally butchered it. it was horrible. he sang it right before i walked down the aisle, so there i was in the back of the church w/ my dad and my best friend, nervous as could be and i looked at my friend who had this aughful look on her face. all she could say was, “hey, you dont have to worry about him outdoing you up there at least!” we started cracking upso loudly that people towards the back of the church turned around to see what was up.
 
I can’t believe some of these were actually played in a church!

For inappropriate, how about:

“You Give Love a Bad Name” by Bon Jovi

“Missing You” (by John Waite, I think)

The “Too Fat Polka” (“I don’t want her, you can have her, she’s too fat for me…”)

“I Wish I Were Single Again” (Li’l Wally)

Now, for liturgical music, I think “Stainless the Maiden” (English translation of “Serdeczne Matko”) might raise a few eyebrows (not to mention that the music itself is more appropriate for funerals).
 
My mom will probably come on here and rant if I get married the way I picture myself getting married. evil laugh

HIM is gonna play at my wedding no matter what, even if everyone there thinks it weird that i’ll be walking down the aisle to “Kill me, I begged and love said no. Leave me for dead and let me go. Kill me, I cried and love said no.”
 
I went to a wedding’s reception, and one of the singers sang " My Heart Will Go On" (Celine Deon’s song in Titanic) 😃
 
Hubby and I were married almost 17 years ago at a nuptial mass and the church didn’t allow secular music (we wouldn’t have chosen it anyway).As a matter of fact,Tone Loc’s “Wild Thing” was popular at the time and I forbade it at my reception! The DJ’s were incredulous,but I told them there were many kids at the reception and I wanted to okay ANY objectionable songs.I think a wedding/reception is a celebration not an excuse for ridiculous behavior.
As for popularity around here,it wouldn’t be a wedding reception without Bob Seger’s “Old Time Rock N Roll”. Yes,played to death,but it’s tradition :cool:
 
If I never again hear “We’ve Only Just Begun” in any context, it will be soon enough, but I think the soprano belting out “I Love You Truly”, was the worst I ever heard at a wedding.

That one has unsavory memories for me, as I had to suffer through it at a karaoke party once. A group of 40-something women who thought they could sing (cough) went on and on with that song, getting louder and louder, and screechier and screechier. It showed no signs of ending, and was starting to actually hurt my ears, to the point where I got up and left.

So, if I ever do get married (fat chance!), you can be guaranteed that song WON’T be played at the reception! 😃

How about this one?
“If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life/neva make a pretty woman your wife. So from my personal point of view/pick an ug-a-ly girl to marry you… Hey Man, I saw yo wife the otha day. She UG-LYYYYY! Yeah, but she sho can cook, baby!”
 
I have always loved the movie “The Sound of Music”.

That said, I have never understood why they used the song “How Do You Solve A Problem Like Maria?” as the wedding song.:hmmm:
 
When I got married in 2001, I really didn’t care about the planning. I just wanted to be married. 😛 I told the organist she could just play whatever most other people did. I can’t remember what all she played but it was pretty standard stuff.

At our receptions, we gave the DJ (who was a good friend of DH’s) a list of songs we’d like to have played. Well, he didn’t even look at it, he just played all the same stuff that he always plays at his bar gigs. He even played “***** Control” by Prince or whoever. :bigyikes: My PRIEST was at our reception!!!

Oh… I got bleeped. Its the P word version of Kitty cat.
 
I am not married, and I don’t know if I would ever be (priesthood possibility, YAY!), but a bad wedding song would be Truely, Madly, deeply by savage Garden. Not because it is a bad song, but because it is so cheesy in my opinion. I just googled the lyrics to that and the first website I got was ourweddingsongs.com/wedding-interlude-music/truely-madly-deeply-lyrics
Kinda of funny. Our wedding songs. It fits perfect with the discussion.
 
The worst I ever heard…and this was in the MIDDLE of the ceremony. They turned the tape on, and the song played…“I would die for you…I would kill for you, I would get down on my hands and knees and lie for you…”

Wow. Amazing. Please know - it wasnt a Catholic church obviously. Crazy.
 
Let’s distingush here between songs in church and songs at the reception.

For church, I think prima facie anything 'popular" written after 1910 should be out, unless you make a good argument to put it in (we had ostly classical and Barque music – Bach wrote religious music that sounds as though it came from a heavenly choir itself).

For the reception, you have more latitude but agree it should be respectful. Our wedding song was “The Way You Look Tonight” and we had a “don’t play” list for the band. (My actually comment was that if they played any of those songs they forfeited some payment, so if they wanted to pay something on the list they needed to make sure they got a big tip from the requester).

Then again, we did have them play one traditional Italian wedding song (Luna mezzo mare) that has lots of double entandres, but they were mostly in Napolitan, not English!
 
A priest friend of mine told me the story of having to fill in at the last minute for another priest. My friend, being newly ordained, assumed everything was in order, until the bride came up to “Having My Baby!”:eek: :eek: She was ready to deliver at any time!:rolleyes: He never filled in for that priest again!
 
I knew someone who had Adelweiss sung at their wedding.
I don’t know all the words so I can’t even guess as to why it was used.

some of these posts are hilarious, btw.
 
I nearly fell over when, while waiting to do the Divine Mercy Chaplet, I heard “You are my Sunshine.” It was followed by “Jesus Loves Me.” I think this was the same couple that asked if their Dog could be in the wedding party. All this in our CATHOLIC CHURCH. The dog did come, but I don’t think it held any place of honor in the wedding party.
 
Okay, this was not a part of a ceremony of any kind (praise God!!) but my weirdest wedding moment does involve a song.

One summer my hubby and I were invited to the outdoor wedding of a family friend (not Catholic.) We were really surprised when we got there and there were dozens of people dressed in Amish-style clothing. At the wedding we found out the bride had left an Amish community that much of her family still belonged to. They were pretty uncomfortable with just about every aspect of the wedding, but at the reception, the groom took everyone over the edge…

There was karaoke at this wedding and the groom (I think with the help of a few drinks) decided it would be a wonderful idea to sing “I’ll make love to you” by Boyz to Men to his new brinde. It was uncomfortable for everyone. I think the bride’s family left.
