You old hag you've killed me
The hag with the money
I buried my wife and danced on top of her
pull the knife and stick it again
spot the wallop
wallop the spot
Seriously -
Smiling Bride & Handsome Young Maidens (Charlie Lennon)
The Bride's Favourite
Haste to the Wedding
Give me your hand (for walking down the aisle)
And if you plan on doing any dancing -
Johnny Fetch Your Wife Back
25 is to young to be getting married . are you sure your making the right decision?Does he know about the bodhran because that nearly finished my marriage a couple of times . A good lively set of polkas for the end .
Its ok, I just like to plan well in advance. The wedding is 2 years away I'm from quite a musical family and hoping to have their participation at the wedding, just figuring out what I want them all to learn!
You could do worse than searching the tunes database for words like 'wedding', 'bride', 'bridal' etc. - it'll come up with enough tunes for an entire day's set.
At the risk of being considered inappropriately bawdy, you might like to include this one, under one of it's more 'polite' titles, The Bridegroom's Favourite http://www.thesession.org/tunes/display/879
(I'm astonished at some of the alternative titles that have squeezed through the indecency filter).
Carolan type music is good choice for ceremony/meal etc. as it appeals to wider group of people in setting like this. There's loads of them like Tabhair dom de lamh, Fanny Power, Eleanor Plunkett, Carolan's Welcome, Carolan's Dream aka Molly Halpin, Ghaoth Aneas, Planxty Irwin, Si Bheag Si Mhor, Clergy's Lamentation, Lark in Clear Air. Not all Carolan tunes but of that type.
For de disco dancing - well I suppose a few lively polkas and reels would be in order (in small doses) to suit those guests who are this way inclined!
Mind you, 2 years is a long time ................ many a slip betwixt cup & lip. Let's hope not!!
http://thesession.org/tunes/display/6990 - written by Natalie MacMaster and Donnell Leahy for their wedding guests. I imagine it's really difficult to play, mind.
I'm not married, but I'd have to draw the line at bodhran players!
Love will you marry me - that's a tune/song not a proposal. Johnny Moynihan sang it on an old De Dannan album.

"The Bridegroom's Favourite"
That should have been 'The Bridegroom's Delight'.
