Bad Wedding Ideas

“I Hate Myself for Lovin’ You” - Joan Jett and the Blackhearts

“Love Her Madly” - the Doors

“Whole Lotta Love” - Led Zeppelin

“Used To Love Her” by Guns 'n Roses what do I win?

“Love Bites” by Judas Priest

“No Love” by Exodus

“What’s love got to do with it? What’s love but a second hand emotion? …”

"Third rate romance, low-rent rendezvous… "

Some more poor choices:
After the Love Has Gone
How Can You Mend a Broken Heart
I Wish It Would Rain
Born Under a Bad Sign
Gone Gone Gone
Whipping Post
Cold as Ice
If You Don’t Start Drinking, I’m Gonna Leave

Bad idea: getting even by inviting the first wife to the wedding with the second wife – because she might actually show up!

I had to google for the lyrics to make sure that La Bouche didn’t cover this song. I was relieved that my suspicions were not confirmed.

Yeah - I think they’re called pants…

I attended a wedding in which the bride walked down the aisle to this song.

No. They are not still married.

At a friend’s wedding we had to sing a song with the word “love” in it to get the couple and kiss. My other friend and I got up to the mike and sang, “Nub, Nub Me Noo” and “Fee Tines a Mady.” It was an in-joke that only the two of us and the bride got. Everyone else was all :confused: :confused: :confused:

Yes, we knew we were being a couple of idiots.

At my brother’s wedding, they just had a ‘sing a song’ rule (the tradition in our circle, at least, was just glass/knife tinging, so apparently they thought they’d get to eat more this way).

Unfortunately for them, she had been in an acappella singing group in college, and everyone in my immediate family sings also. They never thought of a ‘must have love’ rule - although they did start banning various genre’s. Didn’t help much (although it was funny to hear “no more madrigal’s” announced at one point.

Rico Suave - “I don’t love ya, but I need ya!”

My friend wanted to have people sing a song with “Ebeneezer” in the lyrics…guess he didn’t want to interrupt his meal.

Actually, they would be coveralls or overalls – they, like chaps, are worn over regular pants.

My family and I sang “I Love Trash” (Oscar the Grouch) to my brother and SIL.

We did this at my brother’s wedding over 20 years ago. My SIL thought it was a great way to keep people from banging on their glasses and didn’t think anyone would step up to the microphone.

Her bad. One of the groomsmen immediately went with* Love Stinks*. My youngest bro and I went through a whole repetoire of Beatles and then moved on to Elton John. There was a line for the microphone. You could see my SIL get frustrated and then embarrassed as she had to follow her own rules and kiss and kiss and not eat her dinner.

I know a couple and the mother of the groom really wanted her mother son dance to be to Meatloaf’s hit song, Paradise by the Dashboard Light. Seriously. She didn’t get her wish but it was a major battle.

Otay Panky.
I’ve always been embarrassed by people who get married in costumes, bet it Star Trek, SCA, Hobbis, whatever. Which is weird because I love costumes the rest of the time.

Many, many years ago, in a small Michigan town, the bridal couple arrived at the reception to much cheering and fanfare. After a couple of rousing numbers, they requested some slower music so everyone would join them on the dance floor.

Knowing the groom was an Elvis fan, the little combo band started out with Elvis’s “You Saw Me Crying in the Chapel”.

Lots of eye-rolling, and laughing while the (totally oblivious) band played on.

I DJed a friends wedding back in the 90s, in the heart of Country Music fandom. The bride (my friend) wanted a specific song for the bride & groom dance, and chose one for the wedding party dance, too. She told me for the next song, to make it a song that everyone will want to come out to the dance floor.

Now, there was a persistent rumor about me and the bride, that we had a love affair and that we were still having feelings for each other even tho she was marrying someone else, yada yada. All of which was not even a passing thought for either of us at any time, then or past. We all, groom included, thought the whole rumor thing was pretty silly.

The song I chose for the “Everyone Dance” third song was extremely popular, by a local boy made good, Garth Brooks. Imagine the look of horror on the bride’s face when I started the song, the opening lyrics of which were:

“Blame it all on my roots, I showed up in boots, and ruined your black tie affair.”

Yes, I was wearing my Naconas.

My sister has a name that follows the same stress pattern as “Maria,” and wanted to be walked down the aisle to “How do you solve a problem like Maria?” (with Maria, of course, replaced by her name) I… talked her out of it.

I was at a wedding where the bride insisted this be sung at the reception. The marriage lasted a couple of years or so, I think.

I have attended a wedding where that was actually the bride and groom’s first dance song. They thought it was a great match for their rather chaotic courtship. They have been together for close to two decades and seem to be happy. It was one of those amazing rare cases where getting married stopped two people from continually arguing with each other.
