A Golden Wedding?

[Angry Ewok]

I will probably not be able to attend the wedding, sorry. But yeah, check out Acoustic Citsuoca, also check out Okonokos and the bonus disc (moreso the bonus disc, I think that may have a promising track or two).

Wow, this topic is old - but I thought I'd dig it up from page 14 :)

Well, we sealed the deal back in June, only just getting round to this now. Evil Urges was released the day we got married, how's about that for competition for attention huh? Hehe.
We eventually ran with Golden as first song, and it was amazing.
Now that we have "Thank You Too" and "I'm Amazed" - I must admit they would also have been perfect.  In fact, I almost shed a tear while listening to "I'm Amazed" recently.

I'm gonna go listen to it right now in fact ... oh and bonus, MMJ just announced a gig in Dublin. Wewt.


Oh and thanks again for all the suggestions :)

Hello everyone.  I am getting married next month and was able to convince everyone that I should pick the music for cocktail hour.  I was wondering if anyone had a quality recording of Come Closer that I could add to the list.  I have the Jim James Top Hits version from the 3 cd set that someone was nice enough to create on here.

Also this is what I have so far and would like some feedback.

A kiss to build a dream on    Louis Armstrong
Your Nobody til somebody loves you    Dean Martin
Thank you too                       Jim James
Trouble                                Ray LaMontagne
Learning How to Love You      John Hiatt
Having a Party                      Sam Cooke
Crazy little thing called love    Queen
(What a)  Wonderful world      Sam Cooke
A Wink and A Smile               Harry Connick Jr
Golden AC version                My Morning Jacket
Moondance                           Van Morrison
For Once in my life                Michael I can't believe I made the list Buble
Be here to love me                Norah Jones
The Man in Me                        Bob Dylan
What a wonderful world         Louis Armstrong


Thanks,
Sean

Cool list. I did the same thing for my wedding. I wont post the whole "setlist", but we have some similarities (The Man in Me [You a Lebowski fan, too?] and Van Morrison, although we played Beside You). We had 2 MMJ songs as well, The Way That He Sings and Phone Went West. I also had my cousins play Harvest Moon for the wedding party dance. Good times. Whatever you decide on I strongly suggest playing your own music. It'll make it seem like "your day" that much more.

I think it would be a good investment to go ahead and purchase the Split EP with the studio version of Come Closer.  You can probably find it at your local record store (not Best Buy) for @ $7-$8.

Welcome to the board.  Good luck.  I always wanted Trouble to be played at my wedding.  We'll see.

welcome to the forum! nice mix, man. my suggestions would be to add mmj's "sweetheart" from the chocolate and ice ep. other faves for a wedding:

baby, you got it/ brenton wood
too late to turn back now/ cornelius bros. and sister rose
god only knows/ beach boys

Think the Okonoskos version of Golden would work great.

While its a long song, getting a band to play a shortened down version of "I will sing you songs" might really kick ass.  

really like the list posted above, some great stuff in there...

Thanks all for the recommendations and compliments.  The Louis Armstrong song is not on iTunes, but I was able to listen to it.  Great song.  And I am a Lebowski fan, how can you not be.  

Flying to Austin tomorrow for the show, and can't wait.  4th time seeing them.  Then going to the Boston show as well.

My wife and I were married in June and also used Golden. I put it in a slideshow of photos which was a prelude to the ceremony. I used the album version but if you are dancing you might like the acoustic version better
