Songs for a bride on the cusp of a lifetime’s commitment. All for love.
I’ll start with something borrowed, a cover song, Charlotte Gainsbourg singing Hey Joe as reimagined by Beck. The subject matter, a warning. A warning of infidelity, murder and escape. Not very romantic, you may say, but, sometimes, the bride is understandably nervous.
I bet the Afterword can dream up many more, more appropriate songs.

You know how to ask the right questions!
While I wait for inspiration, we could do a lot worse than listen to Something Old from the now late, great Mr Sledge,
Tiggerlion says
Simply beautiful. A blissful contrast to HeyJoe’s cynicism.
The Blues often drips with lust. What better song for a bride on her wedding night, once the bedroom door is closed, than John Lee Hooker imploring Shake It Baby? Turn it up!

Tiggerlion says
I’m presuming this is in the ‘old’ category. Exciting stuff. Should get her adrenaline racing.
Malc says
Not sure this lot ever did a happy song, but this feels joyful enough and is just fab:
Tiggerlion says
That is rather fab, actually. Where do you place it? It’s not that old, it’s not new, it’s not borrowed and it’s not blue!
Tiggerlion says
Something new to play the night before the wedding.

Baron Harkonnen says
How about this for maybe 2 huors, days, weeks, months….after.
Tiggerlion says
Oh dear. I don’t think there’s any hope left for this thread.

If she doesn’t swoon for that one, lawd help her!
