Wedding Ceremony Music

[Lawrence]

It was between the Imperial March and the song that they play at the end of Episode IV when the medals are being handed out.

Yes, exactly. And I thought I was the only loser who thought of that!!

First round of ideas for Dapper Dan's wedding ceremony music. Mostly instrumentals that will hopefully be familiar even to the non-swing attendees. Since I haven't had a chance to sit down with the couple yet or rummage through Dan's astounding collection, this might just be the first round of ideas. I will post the second round of songs and/or the chosen pieces.

Processional:
Artie Shaw: These Foolish Things
Ben Webster: That's All
Benny Goodman: Exactly Like You
Count Basie: The More I See You
Count Basie: On the Sunny Side of the Street

Yes trumpet solo or blue moon would be great. I simply love these songs. I got them played in friend’s wedding last month and everyone admired my selection of songs.

I read that back in the day a lot of couple's chose "Dearly Beloved". It's from 1942 and there are many versions. I think it's a Kern tune.
