I was a wedding singer as a teenager.
Every wedding is slightly different from the other. But you always get to meet the funny uncle and the weirdo relatives, and there's always someone trying to beat you up for not playing enough Beatles songs or something.
I'd want it to be really special to both of us, but I'm a huge fan of 'At Last' as a wedding song. But what's also really cool is songs that no one else would have at their wedding, like an obscure Radiohead song.
Me and the Dap-Kings, the whole band is playing a wedding band in 'The Wolf of Wall Street.'
When I got married, I hired a great choir - the St. James Choir, an all-black gospel choir - to sing at my wedding.
I have been told that I have been played at - my music's been played at funerals, deaths, births, weddings. Weddings, I find very surprising.
I didn't know the colors of my wedding or what my bouquet would look like!
I actually have sang at a wedding before! My old hairdresser from New Jersey, I sang at her wedding.
The only thing that makes me cry at weddings is the DJ's playlist.
I remember early on, for instance, having to play wedding gigs, that I hated playing the music. Now I don't have to play music that I don't like. I only get to do what I enjoy, so that's pretty lucky.
When we decided to marry, we had two ceremonies - one was more bureaucratic for the sake of the Swiss authorities,then a church service in Florence, and I wrote the music for the church service. The challenge in that was that Iman's [Abdulmajid] family are Muslim and mine are Protestant. I had to be careful about the prayers that we chose and the music I wrote because I didn't want to offend either side.
People love to play 'Baby, I Love Your Way' at their weddings. They even play it for births and deaths - whatever the occasion, it seems to fit. Over the years, it's been used in lots of movies, and it's been covered by other artists more than any of my songs. I've written a standard... which is pretty incredible to me.
I spent thousands of thousands of hours playing the piano, and by thousands of hours, I mean playing in cover bands or wedding bands or disco bands or original bands or playing cabaret for Todd McKenney.
Well, I actually first got into music as a small child, and as I became a teen, I sought out making money from music, weather that was singing lounge gigs, backup in studios, or weddings.
I would love to DJ the royal wedding. Just so I could play Candle in the Wind non-stop.
I always envisioned myself having a traditional and elegant wedding.
I want John Legend to sing at my wedding.
If I get married again, I want a guy there with a drum to do rimshots during the vows.
Those are the men who will dance at your wedding.
I want a big church wedding.
My sister, singer Jessie Ware, and I are always exchanging music. We brainstormed her wedding playlist for months.
I would have been happy being in a wedding band.
My sister and I used to sing at weddings. We would sing 'When a Man Loves a Woman' to the bride. We'd do it right before the garter ceremony.
It is my childhood dream to have a Christian-style wedding, just like the fairy tales.
