I guess Moondance has been too flogged to be a (vaguely unique) Wedding Song

 

[rabbitz]

"non reggo al tuo squallor,
ah, non reggo al tuo squallor.
Fuggo, fuggo: son vil!
Addio, non reggo al tuo squallor,
ah! son vil, ah! son vil!

No Woman No Cry - Bob Marley

appropriate

I guess Aretha’ s "You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman"
would be more appropriate than
Status Quo’s “Roll Over Lay Down”

'All My Exes Live In Texas'? For subsequent marriages anyway.

Sreiously though, for an outdoor wedding, for slightly untraditional folks, a slower than average rendition of Pachelbel's Canon is pretty hard to beat.

Is it cynical to suggest "dies irae" ?

We always play "Why do fools fall in love?" sung by Dianna Ross.

But then again, we are silly like that!

All My Friends Are Getting Married - Skyhooks

All My Friends Are Getting Married – great poignant song, but er positive?

Pardon my ignorance, but could you briefly describe the feel of Pachelbel's Canon, and "dies irae"?

Cheers

 

[phase_accurate]

Dies irae is Latin for Judgement Day. It is a usual part (with exceptions) of a requiem and sounds usually quite frightening (by intention).

Regards

And the Dies Irae is part of the Catholic Requiem Mass. Mozart and Verdi have two of the more famous ones... Or at least two of my favorites.

Canon (or Kanon) is a simple classical composition similar in structure to a 'round'. It's just a lovely, if trite, instrumental - Pachelbel's Canon is probably one of the most famous classical pieces.

Where did you say it had to be positive? I just think it's the most appropriate.
