What you people think then, re the music played at my wedding. It wouldnt be classified as canned music would it, if it would my own cds?

According to Wikipedia, your music would indeed be classified as canned. I think that as long as the music has been chosen with care, it really doesn't matter if it's live or not. Live music adds a certain something to any event, but it has to be well performed, and, let's face it, not many of us are going to get brass bands of the calibre of BBM's recordings to play at our weddings! |

BBM - I think the difference is in the heart. You chose your music because you loved it, and even better, they were your own CDs, making it really personal. Who cares whether people call it "canned" under those circumstances? It sounds really wonderful and if I ever get there myself I hope to God that everyone could accommodate my wishes like that. Sounds like it was a wonderful event, and your happiness at your recent anniversary is just a shining beacon for all those cynics out there. May you have many many more happy years together.  |

We had "canned music" at my mother's funeral. She had asked for part of Beethoven 6, and we couldn't afford the orchestra  Sometimes it just has to be recorded. |

The weather is so severe here I fear the windows caving in. The satellite signal has been knocked out so I cannot drown the noise out with something anodyne like Antiques Roadshow, so it's a cd of choice and the louder the better. Pet Shop Boys Discography it is!! Followed by PSB Fundamental no doubt.
Sorry bbm, just got a bit frightened there weather wise, your choice of wedding music seems just wonderful, and it is your passion, as is your wife your passion, and you are her passion. That is something not a lot of people have

At the moment, I very much like the idea of having the last of Strauss' Four Last Songs played at my funeral. But I don't expect Rene Fleming of the VPO to be available (even though obviously by then I could afford to ship them in and cater for fishpaste sandwiches and Cava afterwards in the church rooms, what with my earnings). |

I take it that Mrs BBM is a BB fan too! My brother and his wife both play in a silver band in North Sussex. Every single girl I've ever been out with has been a soprano. I don't know what that's got to do with anything. It just seemed relevant at the time.  |

I think we've got crossed wires here!  My girlfriends have all been singers (well, they've sung soprano parts in choirs at some point - that's actually how I've met most of them!). My brother and his wife are the silver banders (both cornets I think) in North Sussex. |

We didn't have music, canned or otherwise. We did it as quickly and cheaply as possible. We didn't have a honeymoon because we'd put all our money into the home and, just as well, because immediately after the wedding I was expecting our first child. They were such happy days! I wish I could go back and do it all again.

Our wedding seemed grander than it actually was, largely because we married in my college chapel which also happens to be the Diocesan cathedral, and provided Romanesque splendour: the music was provided by a scratch choir of friends, and the assistant organist at Winchester Cathedral who at that time was an old college friend of my wife's, who played us out down the aisle at the end with a roof-raising rendition of the toccata from Messiaen's Dieu Parmi Nous, which is the one part of the service that everyone seems to remember.
