theanalogmiddleagedman Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 OK - with all the spooning and forking threads, I thought of this one. One of my good friends is getting married this fall. A group of us thought that we should pick a Rush song for the Mother/Son dance. Both he and his sister, as well as several members of my family are huge fans and we though this would be fun. We were trying to pick a slower song with an appropriate message (ie not Losing It or The Pass), but any suggestions would be taken kindly. We are arguing over the following: The GardenBravadoPanacea Has anyone ever played Rush at their wedding and have any suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lerxster Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 We named the tables after Rush songs. It was my wife's idea. We were at the Limelight table :D We played some Rush tunes during dinner and after, but no slow dancing to Rush. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tombstone Mountain Posted July 2, 2013 Share Posted July 2, 2013 dude...the only dancing that occurs during a Rush song is bad dancing. However SCOG is a great strip song. Just between us...i say Entre Nous 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theanalogmiddleagedman Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 Well, his sister is the one that wants it for him and his mom is on board. I like all the ideas, especially In the Mood. That would be hysterical. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rushgoober Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I highly suggest the Didacts and Narpets section of The Fountain of Lamneth. It isn't very long, so I would record it in a loop and play it 15-20 times in a row. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apetersvt Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 At my wedding reception, my best man and I got up in front of everyone and played a duel guitar medley. We finished with Return Of The Prince. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ytserush Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 These were played at our wedding. Madrigal -- RushTime Stand Still -- RushThe Spirit Of Radio -- RushWitch Hunt -- Rush With a bunch more songs available now, I'd consider many of those too.

Spindrift82 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I think Time Stands Still is the best Rush wedding song. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sark Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I don't know about Mother/ son, but I think Ghost of a Chance would make a good bride/groom song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xanadoood Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Entre Nous But I wouldn't tell anyone it's Rush. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnnyBlaze Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I hate the part in the wedding reception where they got the long train thang going. That bit might be tolerable if there's some Rush then Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Entre Nous or Time Stand Still. Not the Garden...it's too long and will grow awkward, even though it's a great and beautiful song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LedRush Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Also, the message of Bravado isn't good for this occasion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theanalogmiddleagedman Posted July 3, 2013 Author Share Posted July 3, 2013 I think Entre Nous and Time Stand Still are leading, Two of my favorites, for sure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
