So
much to do. So much to plan. The clock is ticking far too quickly. In less than
five weeks, this ageing hack gets married. My fiancée, the lovely Marion, has
intimated that she is of the opinion my efforts in organising the wedding are a
shade on the laissez-faire side.
Needless to say I disagree with this assertion. After all, I have forsaken the
Hearts v Livingston game at Tynecastle that afternoon and this is a major sacrifice. Has
she shown any gratitude? Not a jot…
Granted,
Marion has organised the wedding venue. And the reception. The cake. The
flowers. The dresses. The catering. The invites. The piper. But I have hired
the kilts. However, proving a man’s work is never done, I have been charged
with choosing some of the songs at the wedding, once the ceremony, meal and
speeches have been done (damn! The speech…)
Anyway,
I’ve listed a few suggestions below which I may consider presenting to my
bride-to-be later this week. If anyone can suggest other titles suitable for a wedding, I’d be truly grateful. Your
comments would be most welcome.
Here’s
what I’ve come up with so far.
Rescue
Me – Fontella Bass
Please
Release Me, Let Me Go – Engelbert Humperdink
Still
Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For – U2
Tainted
Love – Soft Cell
Everybody
Hurts – REM
I
Will Survive – Gloria Gaynor
Like
a Bat Out of Hell – Meatloaf
I’m
Not in Love – 10 CC
Big
Mistake – Natalie Imbruglia
Heaven
Knows I’m Miserable Now – The Smiths
Road
to Hell – Chris Rea
I
had thought about having Hector Nicol’s version of The Hearts Song played that
evening but as the best man and the bridesmaid are of the Hibernian persuasion,
I thought that might be insensitive. And you know me, I’m Mr Sensitivity…
