Desparately need help with music selections for a slideshow I've been asked to put together for my neice's wedding. There are 3 sections - her, him and then together. Suggestions?
Thanks.

Fuck all the soppy stuff Robbie Williams- Angels and all that ****e. Lets add a bit of controversy and darkness to the affair with some Diablo Swing Orchestra's 'Wedding March For A Bullet':

well, there's old standby's like pachelbell's canon. if they're metal heads you can use the jerry chang version.

yo yo ma has some cool stuff.

i've used clutch's "crackerjack" for slideshow music, but not sure if it fits for a wedding though.

i would use instrumentals, if it was me, and stay away from stuff with lyrics.
that way, the music compliments the pics without the lyrics or the vocals distracting the audience. tchaikovsky, schubert, beethoven maybe? the l.s.o. has some cool stuff. if you really wanna be different, check out
twelve girl band on youtube. garantee most of the folks at the wedding have never heard anything like that before, unless their asian.

6 posts in and the poor guy finally gets a proper answer to his question.

In all seriousness... You have to consider what they like. What are THEIR favorite songs? What type of music do they like? You should make it more personal that just slapping some classical music to a bunch of pictures.
Do they have a sense of humor? Throw that in there, too.
Make it personal. I know that's what I would want if I was a bride-to-be.
