If you attended any weddings in the 70s, was "We've Only Just Begun" played at any of them?

1. only at my 70s wedding

what was I thinking??

:banghead:

[Hatchling]

10. You weren't thinking.

Not anymore than I was when I had it at my wedding. Did you (or your spouse) have your hair done up in petals? Talk about a hair style that dooms spontaneity on your honeymoon. Eight thousand bobby pins and 3 pounds of hair spray. Yuck.

[trackfan]

2. It's a definite yes for me.

For probably more than half of the 70s weddings I attended.

[trof]

3. It was a 'given'.

4. What the hell is "We've Only Just Begun"?

Who sings it? I know a lot of 70s rock and some 70s pop--or at least I think I do. :evilgrin: I've never heard of that, though maybe I've heard it and simply don't realize that yet.

ETA: Oh, the Carpenters...no wonder I haven't paid it a shit's worth of attention. :P

5. Here you go....

The Carpenters - the song was orignally used in a bank commercial, it was written (and sung on the commercial) by Paul Williams. Richard Carpenter thought that it would make a good song if there was a longer version, which Williams had in hand.

8. "what's the ugliest part of your body" was the theme for my

cousin's wedding. the band totally destroyed "we've only just begun" when someone requested it. never mess with a band that covers zappa tunes.

[Z_I_Peevey]

9. All of them.

Yep. I think it was the law back then.

And all the men had to wear powder blue tuxes.

[triguy46]

11. No. At our wedding in 1977 this was sung...

12. My ex and I edited a friend's video in the 80's

And she asked us to dub that over the images.

[HamstersFromHell]

13. That and Dan Fogelberg's "Longer"

seemed to be the two biggest "pop" tunes used in weddings.

Been to one where David Allan Coe's "Pussywhipped Again" was played.

My second wedding was set to Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells 3" (that didn't work, either)

[supernova]

14. !!!

"een to one where David Allan Coe's "Pussywhipped Again" was played."

:spray: :rofl:

Damn, bitter so soon?

[HamstersFromHell]

15. I think it was more...

a prediction of things to come.

[July]

16. Worse than that, it was our prom song. Gack. nt

[HamstersFromHell]

17. LOL!! Come to think of it...

...it was the theme of one of our proms one year. :puke:

18. That and 'the wedding song' by Paul Stuckey
