... but if I ever did consider getting married again, I'd argue hard for having the Imperial Death March substituted for the Wedding March.

Just saying.

It sounds much cooler.

*falls over laughing* That would seriously be the coolest thing ever.

I have friends who used that as their recessional.

Anyone I know?

My sister in law and her husband, so yes.

My high school did at graduation. It was at the senior class's request.

I came oh-so close to having that for when I walked up the aisle to take my place at the altar. Instead, my fiancee arranged for me to walk up to Holst's "Mars, Bringer of War." No, I didn't know she was going to do that. Yes, that probably does say something about why we aren't still married. ;)

*laughs* That is one of my all-time favorite pieces of classical music. (and also the inspiration for the battle sequence music at the beginning of Gladiator)

That is majorly funny.

Ain't been married, myself, but my koshkaphoenix walked the aisle twice before she figured out "wait, WTF am I doing???" So, we've talked over the years about how neither of us wants to be married, but we'd love to have a mock wedding some time -- all of the fun of a wedding ceremony, none of the fucking legal liabilities.

I like the idea of entrance music, just like in pro wrestling. I want the chorus from AC/DC's "Highway to Hell" blaring through the loudspeakers. She picked, for her entrance, Motley Crue's "Hell on High Heels" (I think there's a cool animated video for this over at CampChaos.com, but I can't search it from work).

We'd save the Imperial Death March for her wicked bitch of the west mother, if she was foolish enough to show up. It'd be the cue for the bouncers to spring into action...

LOL!!! A friend of mine did the introductions of the wedding party at the reception to Sirius (by Alan Parsons Project) which most in this area recognize as the into music for the Chicago Bulls.

I, however, will always associate it as the intro music for Ricky "the Dragon" Steamboat from WWF of the 80s.

Count yourself among the fortunate.

That is all.

Always seemed to me that, given the divorce rate, I'd just as soon go with the odds and not take that walk. Two generations back and further, couples got married and, for the most part, stayed together. Attanged marriages, for the most part, worked. People learned that they had to stick together if they were gonna' survive. Then, a generation back, we got all Kramer vs. Kramer about it. Some good things came of that, I'm sure - and I've nothing at all against divorce... Just everything against getting married without a commitment to work shit out.

Today, it's even stupider.

That's not to say "never," and certainly not a dig at anyone who's had a shitty marriage, but only to say that I've never seen the need to turn a perfectly good relationship into a legal matter. Most relationships eventually fail - I've learned that, and I have no real problem with it. I just don't understand why, when a marriage fails, we still have a thousand pains in the ass to get it dissolved.

Hence, no ring on this finger, even if I've been in a quite happy relationship for nearly seven years now.

I agree with the lack of commitment to deal with shit comment. I was in a rush to get married but now I think I need to really know my lover before I can even consider such a step.

So, I've got these friends. And the story goes that a couple of the guests bribed the musicians to play the Imperial Death March when the bride came in.

They took the money and did it -- because, unbeknownst to the guests, the bride had already instructed them to do the same thing. The groom and the families weren't aware of this, but everyone agreed it was appropriate.

(The bride in question was one of the major writers of the Star Wars roleplaying game.)

a guy from my high school actually marched down the isle to that. his fiance, a friend of mine, was none too pleased.

So after all the weddings swirling around me, all very unconventional, I keep coming up with what *I'd* want at my wedding [to either my right hand or imaginery boyfriend, apparently]. This is very funny because I am NOT one who has ever once in her life had a wedding fantasy, much less "since I was a little girl."

Details I'm gathering and coming up with on my own: VooDoo Donut Wedding Chappell, Cupcake Royalle reception, Drag Queens and Kings, vows including, "I take thee in queerness and straight, fabulous and tired..." and now, The Imperial March. :)

Obviously, we're going to have to marry each other.
