...one of the songs played was So Cruel! It was the first dance! (no, I'm just joking about that second bit)

I sat it out (it was sort of a fastish slow dance) but it was neat to hear it anyway!

For anyone who's interested, the first dance was that Richard Marx song "I will be right here waiting for you." Before you start gagging, I thought it was a really sweet choice. Particularly because the first line is "Oceans apart..." and she's from Japan, he's from right here in Canada.

Actually, "Right Here Waiting" is one of my fave songs, seeing as how my fiance and I live so far apart.

I want my first dance with drgnwolf1969 to be to "All I Want Is You".

Wow-'So Cruel'-I have always considered that to be a pretty 'bitter' song. I always think it's about Edge and his first wife.

Interesting choice for a wedding-but it sure is a beautiful song.

No Sting songs?

Nothing tops my brother's wedding when it comes to most inappropriate songs... they played "Yesterday" as the bride and groom left the building

This was in Peru, and it was the instrumental--perhaps the lyrics were not looked into.

That is cool that they played So Cruel, and yes it is also an interesting choice!

Hehe...well, there hadn't been any by the time I left anyway... and I kind of doubt it. The groom, who knows I like (love) Sting, likes to refer to Desert Rose as that "aeeeiioooowwwwww" song in my hearing.

I don't know who chose So Cruel, I don't know that either of them like U2 that much. It might have been another friend who slipped it in there.
