NIB by Black Sabbath  
“My name is Lucifer, Please take my hand”  
would be good for the lyrics;)

But it would have to be the wedding theme from Flash Gordon, played by the remaining members of Queen live.

My SO and I only have one band in common.

Tool.

I think we may skip the dance.

Back in the day, I was a band geek, and performed this wedding march that was all in 11/8 and 13/8…the man who wrote it had it performed for his own wedding as a practical joke for the bridesmaids and their escorts…the beat keeps changing, so you can never find out what the rhythm is…and then once you do, he changes meter. I’m a practical joker, what can I say?

You could mosh to Stinkfist. “I’m not a burden anyone should bear” may be appropriate for one or both of you.

If I remember that episode of Full House, and subsequent ones that referenced it, the song was actually a Beach Boys song.

When I married my ex-husband, we had the vocalists sing I Cross My Heart by George Strait and two others that I don’t recall anymore before the ceremony while guests were arriving. I don’t remember what we used for the procession either. When we left church it was Up Where We Belong from Officer and A Gentlemen.

As for the dance, the first two songs were When I See You Smile by Bad English and Young Love by The Judds.

If I ever remarry and have a church wedding, I’d like to have the processional be Pachelbel’s Canon. Not sure what I’d use for other parts.

Oh, and ditto on the finding the person of my dreams…
