What Meatloaf song would you have played at your wedding?
 

Me and my partner were discussing getting married and as we walk into the registery office he wants Bryan Adams Everything I do I do It For You. So Ive told him I want a Meat loaf song playing at the reception, but cant decide which one. So what do u all think.
I had Anything For Love played at our engagement party, my friend says its a pity I cant have the real thing singing at the wedding, but I can always dream cant I




Debs :P

All revved up, perhaps not :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Why not contact Steve Steinman and see about having him play at your reception? He is excellent, the very best tribute Ive seen (and Ive seen a lot). You can contact him through this forum cos he posts on here and he always replies. Don't know how much he would charge tho cos theres 6 of them in the band.
Good luck and hey i want an invite if Steve is playing !
Christa

thats a good idea christabales, course u can have an invite, is he on here often. My friend who is going 2 sheffield arena with me 2 see Meatloaf on 15th Jan went to see the Meat loaf story earlier this year and got talking to steve after the show

how about because of you, of chsib

Heya Deb-
I suppose it would depend on how you wanted to 'use' the song- for instance, Paradise By the Dashboard light goes over very well after dinner (and once people have had a glass of wine or two :p ) For Crying Out Loud (in my opinion) is one of the most romantic songs of all time-but it's also quite long and personal, so it depends on your guests...and at what point in the evening your going to play this.

I would say that a nice happy medium might be Because of you off of CHSIB(I know somebody allready suggested that one, sorry- but I think it's your best bet for a 'romantic slow dance')

What a choice!!

I hope if my boy and I EVER get married (no, 3 years isn't too long to wait for the question grrrrrr :angry: - just kidding :lol: ) but I hope he'll expect at least A FEW Meat Loaf songs...it's just too hard to decide

Congratulations, by the way!

I had Anything for Love for one of the songs and then later in the evening the DJ played Paradise and Bat Out Of Hell for me.

Well as i have been married for just over 20yrs i would have to say i would have loved BOOH at my wedding receptio. If i was getting married now i think i would love CHSIB going in and coming out DIST :D :D what you think?

I've always been a bit partial to No Matter What/Home By Now. Of course, now I'm thinking about my two boy's weddings (hopefully not for a bit yet!), but I've made them swear that Forever Young will be played when we dance. 8)

I have to agree with those who have said "Because of You"- it's got slow bits, fast bits, great romantic lyrics. My one regret about my wedding was that it was held at church hall- hence, NO "secular" music was allowed- and ML certainly qualifies as secular. My favorite part of most weddings is the music and dancing, so we did sort of miss out. I hope you get to completely rock out at yours!

When I met Carl my husband to be he did not know much about Meat's music and the only song he had heard by Meat was "Bat Out of Hell", and I wanted Meat Loaf's music played at my wedding. So needless to say I had to expose him to the other love of my life Meat's music.

When we got married July 21, 1998 in the background was playing "Surf's Up", by none other then Meat Loaf and then at the reception we played the whole "Welcome to the Neighborhood", cd.

I pick "Surf's UP' as a great wedding song, after all it was played at my wedding. :)

This guy is also excellent :)

How about "I Lie For You". That's the one I want to play at my wedding. That is if I ever get married. Of course Paradise.

How about "A Kiss Is A Terrible Thing To Waste"

At my wedding in 2000, I had 'Man and a Woman', from the 'Blind Before I Stop' album - not one of the most well known songs, but a personal favourite of mine.

It's worth looking at some of the older albums - Special Girl is one of the most romantic songs I've heard.

how about forever young???
as you are getting married and no matter what (no pun there) love should be forever young

song
 

I married with 18 years, so next year it is 20 years ago..... :roll:

But I think if I would marry now, the song"I do anything for love" where the right one ..

When I married in 1996, my bestest, bestest friend (Mrs Badcrumble somewhere on a mlukfc message board) arranged as a special surprise for the Meat Loaf look alike who had appeared on Stars in their Eyes that year to come and sing / perform at our reception. So I had them all! I have some wonderful memories of the day, and photos too. One of which was us singing Dead Ringer together (he asked if I knew the words - daft question!!). In some of the photos it really does look as if the man himself was there!

Marriage
 

I had 'Paradise By The Dashboard Light' played at my wedding reception...it was a tad long though.

'Heaven Can Wait' would be a nice one though.

"Two Out of Three" - JUST for the comedic value! Imagine the look on the everyone's face!

On a serious note......I would probably go for AFL. You cannot go wrong with a song about "that"!

jo

Me and my fiance'e decided on Because Of You, this seems by far the best song for a wedding. It was between this and Don't wanna Miss A Thing by Aerosmith, but I won. :D

:twisted: I've told Mrs Mouse that she can everything else her way on the big day, except two things....

A. The song played as she walks down the isle is Heaven Can Wait 8) .

2. I get to get married in my Meat loaf suit :twisted: .

As for the reception, forget "playing" Meat Loaf, i'll be on stage all night singing Meat Loaf songs instead :lol: .
