Nice. As long as we're talking wedding songs, while mine was pretty standard, it is one of my favorite songs of all time. It was played live for us, not by the Beach Boys though. Bummer:

cgod, I loved your wedding song, I had never heard it before. Awesome song.

My wife came down the aisle to a wedding march I penned, played live by a violin, and two guitars. Wish I had it on video.

We had some live music too. The latter half of the evening was basically 100% 80's pop and new wave off an iPod because we hate standard wedding dance music (best decision EVER btw). The first half though, we had a Kanun player, which was fucking awesome. He basically jammed out crazy psychedelic Arabic dance music and pretty much raised the roof. He threw in some sick Stones and Beatles interpretations in there as well.

Kinda odd that we had a country song as our first dance but it's a nice song.

Too bad the Beach Boys were booked that evening.

Well, to be honest Bruce Johnston and John Stamos said they'd play it for $50 but I thought that was a bit steep.

I can never un-watch that. Thanks a lot.
