OK DU, i need music suggestions

[mcctatas]

I'm getting married July 23rd. My fiancee and I have picked out songs that mean a lot to us for parts of the ceremony but for the recessional we want something fun but not kitschy. We aren't getting married in a church so we have a lot of leeway here, any suggestions?

[old mark]

1. We hired a pianist who played various songs we both chose...a very eclectic mix,

ranging from the Stones "Sweet Virginia" to selections from Eric Satie...
It will mainly be for YOU, so choose what is meaningful for you both. We are celebrating our 18th anniversary this month. I still remember the mnusic very well and it still makes me smile.

All the best.
