Would you have an MMJ song for your wedding?

Golden_Shores · Nov 17, 2005, 03:57 PM

When I get married, I want Just One Thing as my wedding song. I'm hopeful that my interpretation of the lyrics isn't off the mark! That could be embarrassing.

Have you thought about what MMJ song, if any, you would have for your wedding?

I will be there when you die

I want Wordless Chorus goin as she's walkin down the aisle.

Well, I guess not. I think Golden would be appropriate, and I love this song so much.

Wordless Chorus is amazing. Strangely enough, I could see it as she comes down the aisle. Just the chorus part really.

golden is so beautiful. The first time I actually read the lyrics along with the music playing... I was so blown away.

I'm getting married next summer and the wedding song is: I Will Be There When You Die.

QuoteI will be there when you die

That would be so romantic. Except maybe for the 'if you can keep a straight face' bit. I can't quite fathom what that bit means.

I thought that was a way of saying "as long as you're honest" I guess real love is unconitional but I think this song is the most romantic of the mmj catalouge. Maybe 'Sweetheart' would be a good too.

Ah, that makes sense. I was thinking of it as trying to stop yourself from laughing which didn't make sense.
I find 'hopefully' the most romantic, but probably not suited to a wedding. Sweatheart would be a good choice.

The most romantic single line for me is 'Why's it so great just to wake every day alive and by your side?'

I got married this June & did all the music for our Wedding.
My wife LOVES Z & loves MMJ because of it.
Shame we didn't have it then.

Come Closer and Sooner would be nice to dance to. Just One Thing would probably be my first choice though. My wife and I danced together during that one at the forty watt.

i got married two months ago and we had a petty song and a neil song... but if i had to do it over, i'd go with golden or christmas curtain cause they're so darn pretty. or, for the ultimate cheeseriffic effect, MMJ's cover of Berlin's "take my breath away"... anyway you slice it, it's better than the rod stewart my granny suggested. long live eloping!

I asked my woman to marry me at the Bowery Ballroom in New york back in 2003 while Jim solo'd "Be there when you die"...As the lads were doing two consecutive shows i had to wait until near the end of the second night before Jim played it. I was shitting myself for almost two nights...it was worth it though.

As for the wedding song ours would be "MY CRICKET- LEON RUSSELL....beautiful, spine chilling and short ...so we could get back to drinking...amen.

A_delle · Nov 18, 2005, 11:59 AM

Welll, I'm already married, but I would add Hopefully because it is so beautiful and I really "can't stand the thought of one single day without your hand in my hand"

But I'd be bawlin my eyes out!!!!!

Unless Jim was there singin it ;-P

Hi, i'm new here and this is my first post. I don't want to get married, but if I would get married I want to have Anytime, Dondante or Picture of You as a wedding song I think. Though I probably will change my mind soon again..

You chose my thread to post in first? :-[ Thank you. And Welcome...

peanut butter puddin surprise · Nov 18, 2005, 03:37 PM

isn't that kind of a depressing song list at a wedding??

just my humble opinion...

"Closer" would be the bomb, I think. Or maybe "Knot comes loose"....

Welcome to you. Changing your mind about songs is a feature of being a fan of this band I think :)
