What were your wedding processionals/recessionals and why? (self.chat)

I was just running through these, and, I think they're rather illuminating.

First wedding: Processional: Andres Segovia - Recuerdos de la Alhambra

a track I associate with family ski trips

Recessional: The Verve - Bittersweet Symphony let's not talk about the implications

It should be noted that our vows were "for as long as it works."

Second round: Processional (and this was truly brilliant): Harry Belafonte - Hole in the Bucket (careful what you first fuck to)

Recessional: Chihiro Onitsuka - Innocence

a track I looked up after an ad from Applied Materials

Actually, the second engagement was arguably worse. We were on the back stoop smoking cigarettes, and I opened the conversation with "obviously, I'm not going to ask you to marry me." There are red flags, and then there's this.

What I was unaware of was the ring out of a quarter machine she'd given me a week earlier "as a joke" was not. So she happily let me fumble words for some 20 minutes after that opening, knowing exactly where I'd end up and basically said "you were already mine, but this was fun to watch."
