2oceansviber Dan Green is a multi-talented guy. He knows more than you about music and football and also kills it on stage. He’s a wedding singer and he will make you cry with these first hand observations.

Enjoy this excerpt from his blog dansings (dansings.wordpress.com)

It’s a beautiful sunny day, the congregation is seated and the wedding ceremony is under way. The vineyards sway gently in the background caressed by a light wind. The birds twitter in song, the sun beats down on this blessed scene…and then someone absolutely massacres “The Rose” by Bett Midler. Why is it always “The Rose” during a wedding ceremony?! It’s almost as if there is an unwritten law permitting only ‘The Rose” to be sung during a wedding ceremony- but this is just an aside.

It’s normally the groom’s sister but can equally be a cousin or a close friend of the bride who has somehow attained the position of ‘the person who can sing’ amongst the wedding group. She would have attained this role having put in years of impromptu vocal performances around a fire, the school play, summer camp, in a road trip singing along to the car stereo- she’s earnt her place, literally, on the altar. I’m not criticising it either- anyone who has the balls (excuse the pun) to sing in a wedding ceremony has my vote. I’ve done it and it’s horrendously nerve wracking. That is, however, where it should end- at the altar.

Unfortunately, an additional factor comes into play now and that’s booze. Without booze, I’m pretty sure that none of the below would happen. This is how it goes;

The name of that post was (and still is) “The Bridesmaid Who Sings In The Ceremony….And Then Takes Over The Whole Party Gig!”

Do yourself a favour and stay tuned to Dan’s blog – after all, no-one goes to as many weddings as Dan and no-one sees as many embarrassing moments which can ONLY happen at weddings.

But it’s not all hilarious observations – he also gives lists of his favourite wedding venues and more.

Just for fun, here is a scene from the Wedding Crashers, featuring The Dan Band (another Dan) singing Total Eclipse. If you’ve never seen this, standby for awesome.
