Although it's not very metal, I am going to have Amaran's Plight " I Promise You" at my wedding.
It seems metalheads the world over who wish to marry would like a heavy metal wedding. Both Met-Al and I agree that a heavy metal wedding is a good thing.
This thread = great resource.
Pain of Salvation- This Heart of Mine
It's the only song you need, really.
So I am now taking suggestions. Anyone have any ideas?
If Sapphire was a moment in a film, it would be the end of Dr. Zhivago...where Zhivago finally sees the woman he lost 30 years ago out of the corner of his eye, and her train pulls away, and he has a heart attack and drops dead right there.
Um...given the above description...I think that qualifes as "stating the obvious."
Later!

So here's what I have so far:
Dancing:
Raintime - Beat It
Volbeat - I Only Wanna Be With You
And of course stuff like Journey, Guns N Roses, Queen, & Bon Jovi. Dancing songs are hard unless they're well known enough or covers because few people at our wedding listens to our type of music so it's not like we could even get 10 people to recognize a song.
Adagio does a cover of "Fame" ...that's always a good dancing song! And most people know the Irene Cara version.

So here's what I have so far:
Wedding Party entrance: Ric Flair Theme
Bride & Groom entrance: Europe - Final Countdown (hey.. um.. Glenn... Think you could send me like the first 2 minutes of the Floor cover from the All Star Jam????? *puppydogeyes*)
Dinner songs:
Blind Guardian - Bard Song (going to cut off the second half that starts getting heavy)
Edenbridge - Empire of the Sun
Green Carnation - Six Ribbons (possibly Child's Play Part 3 too)
Opeth - Den Ständiga Resan (it's in another language so no one will understand the sad lyrics).

I also want to toss in After Forever's cover of Heart's Alone but it's kind of sad
Another possible one is Edenbridge's For Your Eyes Only. Not sure where that'd fit best though. It doesn't have the best beat for a slow dance song.
I thoroughly support this statement! No line dances at my wedding, no Chicken-Dance and no "Dollar Dance." (People give you wedding gifts anyway. I don't need to dance around the room and beg them for more money.)Though there will be no YMCA. I'm putting all songs with actual defined hand movements/dance steps on the Do Not Play list.
And Shaye, I'm making sure to get a decently well rounded list for the DJ. So far I've got a bunch of songs like You Spin Me Round, Sweet Caroline, Paradise by the Dashboard Light, Take Me Home Tonight, Come on Eileen, Crazy Little Thing Called Love, 1963 (Oh What A night), and a bunch of other must haves. Though there will be no YMCA. I'm putting all songs with actual defined hand movements/dance steps on the Do Not Play list.
I'm also thinking about using Silk and Steel or Exit Music by Savatage somewhere in the actual wedding ceremony, since we don't just want a metal reception, we want a total metal wedding. (Although I'm not sure how well that's going to work with my parents wanting us married Catholic :Smug.
lol, good move. However, stress to the DJ how much you REALLY don't want those songs--the only thing on our DNP list was Lynrd Skynrd (we got married in Alabama) and sure enough, we walk in and there goes "Sweet Home Alabama." he can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe my words were something like "Mike, go, kill, now." :Smug:

STRYPER "Together as One". The lyrics are absolutely, positively perfect for the occasion.
