PJ Wedding Song

What do the songs mean to you? Pearl Jam's lyrics and interpretations here.

I know LBC has a reference to Roskilde but I think as a whole the song is a love song.

What about Love Reign o'er Me or You Are (two of my favourite songs - might be a bit too hard core for the oldies though)

I am pretty sure I am going with Parachutes. I always though it would be cool if we were dancing to the song and people dropped down the little Parachute men. Instead of our tables being numbered, each is going to be named after a PJ song with the head table named after the wedding song (parachutes). The light years table is going to be candles for each of our dead family members who couldnt be there. Just a few PJ related ideas. I have.

I'm getting married in 2012 (before the end of the world hopefully :shock: ) and was thinking of "Just Breathe", but think we'll go with "You Are".

Well,on a show in Belfast,just a couple of days ago,Eddie dedicated a song to a newly married couple who had their wedding reception.... at the show! :) They brought 18 of their guests,we were all their guests too i think :D Anyway,the song Eddie dedicated to them was AmongThe Waves. Maybe that's an idea? :)

We also had: Hard Sun
No Ceiling
You Are
Love Boat Captain playing in the church while we signed the wedding register but it was that quick we didnt even get the whole way through Hard Sun :lol:

Hail, hail. -- Hail, hail the lucky ones I refer to those in love yeah!! I've always thought the "are you woman enough to be my man?" lyric is one of the most brilliant lyrics I've ever heard.

I recently got engaged myself, and the wedding is looking like 2012!!

I think iv convinced my girlfriend on Just Breahte I just love it, she is not a big PJ fan like me but likes some of there songs! I think she is onboard with it though :D as she loves it too.

Have to say after listening to Throw your arms around me a lot!!!!!! lately Im starting to consider it too, great song! hmmmmmmmmmmmm :?

Also at a weding lately and the first song was the Ramones "baby I love you" it was great and went down really well I think!

Well color me jealous. That friggin' rocks my socks.

The gf and I got engaged a couple weeks ago, looking at a spring wedding 2011. She's not a PJ fanatic like I am, but she supports my habit (haha), so she's willing to consider a PJ song for our first dance. Just Breathe is I think our best bet, but we're still undecided. I almost wish I could find a good cover of it, sung by a softer, more feminine voice. Ed's voice has rocked my eardrums for almost 20 straight years and I wouldn't have it any other way, but he's just a touch too rock and roll for a first dance methinks.
