	And You And I and Afterglow, as already mentioned, are great choices. As for other songs... Horizons, maybe? Trio (King Crimson) might work too, depending on what you want. Of course, La Faulx by UZ always goes down a treat, heh. It's hard for me to say. If it were me I'd probably do less prog and more Chopin EDIT: Oh, I almost forgot. Depending on the vibe you're going for, Open Country Joy by Mahavishnu Orchestra could be a great choice. Edited by KingCrimson250 - January 06 2012 at 13:05

	Metropolis pt. 1. The epicness of it should describe the epicness of marriage ha ha. I also think Bridge Across Forever from Transatlantic for the sheer beauty.

	The first time I ever heard "Give Love Each Day" by Yes, I thought it would make a great wedding song. It's a lovely tune. Add in, I dunno, "Kayleigh" by Marillion, and my personal wedding song, "In Your Eyes" by Pete Gabriel. For some reason, we also featured "Still the Same" by Bob Seger and the Silver Bullet Band, even though that song's about a habitual gambler. Incidentally, if you're getting married and are considering putting your own bitchen playlist together, try this: DON'T. Let a pro take care of it. There is a formula that works, and deviating from it will likely keep your guests plastered to the back wall. Sad, but true: we did the "Copacabana" in my wedding and everyone did a freakin' conga line. I hate that song, and I hate conga lines, but there I was, right in it. Sometimes you gotta give the people what they expect. Edited by HolyMoly - January 07 2012 at 18:24
