I love how Eddie is going into musical detail and Brett’s just over here giving marriage counseling/advice 😂💖

I am literally getting married next week. What is this sorcery, Brett and Eddy?!
Update 18th March: I got married today!

The photo of Brett as the groom and Eddie as the Bride is just hysterical beyond words

My friend got married to a solo Violin rendition of Lark Ascending. My Grandfather was buried to the same piece and I can’t think of anything more fitting for both uplifting and melancholic emotional moments.

My husband and I actually played the second movement of Bach's double at our wedding!!! We met in the symphony and when covid hit, we started playing duets together just for fun, and ended up falling in love :)

I got married in a cathedral with an organ so we took full advantage of that. Here are the pieces we used:
-Guests entering: Fanfare by Jacques-Nicholas Lemmens
-Bridal procession: Jupiter theme by Holst
-Recession: Gigue French Suite No. 5 on G (on the organ it was incredible)

I was friends with the organist and he said he would be happy to do an additional piece for the guests directly after the ceremony, so he performed Organ Symphony No. 1 in D minor by Vierne. I had a lot of guests comment of how amazing it was to basically have a private organ concert.

I have been to a wedding in which the couple (both classical musicians) insisted on having the entire Beethoven symphony no.9 but rearranged the parts and movements so that the ode to joy theme (the stunning part with both orchestra and choir) would be blasting at full volume when they were doing their vows
It was so freaking hilarious but glorious, and definitely one of the most memorable weddings I’ve been to

I want Eddy to be my wedding planner & Brett to be my marriage counsellor. 😂

Adding to this list: Borodin’s string quartet No. 2, III. Nocturne. This honestly might be the single most romantic piece of music I’ve heard. It tells the story of Borodin falling in love with his wife (the whole quartet was a gift to his wife), with her being represented by the violin and him the cello. You can hear the two of them “talking” to each other and “dancing” together, getting progressively more intertwined as they fall in love!

[wasserschaefchen]

For my brother's wedding, I played Schumann's "Träumerei" on my cello - I picked the piece, and my brother and his - now - wife loved it immediately. He also chose "Can't help falling in love with you" as a cello version.
I was super nervous to play because I am not a professional musician and I am not even a Ling Ling wannabe cause I don't have time to practice. But everybody expressed that they preferred a family member or friend to play at the wedding instead of some professional musician who nobody knows.

From playing at wedding gigs in the past to recommending not-canon wedding pieces now, you guys have really come full circle 😄

[sharpfang]

In Poland the standard wedding music is Mendelssohn's wedding march. It's very rare anything else is being played.

[lizziesmusicmaking]

If the couple are both musicians, a duet between their main instruments might be really sweet to have as one of the pieces. And if one of them can compose that duet or arrange it for their instruments, even better.

[hwamilka]

This whole video was so romantic. I love how into it both of you were, not cynic at all. You treated a most holy sacrament with its due respect and dignity. And gave us beautiful recommendations 💕

[GioFransesca]

Eddy : **explaining music eloquently**
Brett : *PLAY THIS AT YOUR WEDDING AND YOU WONT GET DIVORCED!!!*
😂😂😂

[khanhngocduong]

I love how most of the time, Eddy was explaining the pieces' history, meaning, inspiration, ... while Brett was like: "WHY CANON IN D?!?!!"

[amandajones]

I walked down the aisle to the andante movement of Mendelssohn’s piano trio No 1 in d minor Op 49… the entrance of the strings makes a beautiful moment for the bride to enter! ❤

[andrewkroussoratsky]

Seems unconventional, but my wife walked down the ailse to Satie's Gymnopedie No.1. It's so achingly beautiful with a nostalgic quality, as if you could listen to the piece whilst reminiscening on a life spent with your love.

[WeilunP]

Eddy: eloquently talking about the stories of the composers and why the piece is a good one for the wedding;
Brett: wHY PEoPLe PLaY CAnOn IN D??!!
Me: LOVE IT!!
