We used "The Wedding March" and then added "It's A Kind Of Magic" which is very suitable for such a magical event....we also had lot's of Queen songs at the reception....including some rockers...I remember my parents Waltzing to Hammer to Fall....our wedding video had pretty much a Queen soundtrack as well including Somebody To Love for moments leading up to the event...

I think the thought of "Another One Bites the Dust" being played at any wedding is a terrible idea. Maybe a wacky funeral. You certainly don't want to mock your own marriage. I think that'd be incredibly poor taste - stick with, perhaps, one of Queen's more sentimental, slow songs.
How about Love Of My Life? perfect...
love of my life actually wouldnt work that well, because its speaking of the love of his life leaving him and breaking his heart, so i dont think it would be appropriate
Stop talking bollocks people!! there's only one real choice.. and that is of course ONE YEAR OF LOVE!! who know's how long theyre gonna be together, but at least a year is better than a life time alone (of love nor marriage) =D
Yes consider that!!!

I insisted on it being played at our wedding almost 15 years ago. As much as I love AOBTD, it is not a good dance song and is too slow. My wife and I were the only ones on the dance floor, and after a minute or two, the song was too slow and dull to dance to. I was relieved when AOBTD was finally over.

But in the lyrics, it also talks about ''when you grow older, I will be there by your side to remind you that...I'll still love you...''
Nah. It starts off terribly for a wedding song "you've hurt me, you've broken my heart and now you leave me."
I quite like your AOBTD idea but what about Crazy Little Thing Called Love or Funny How Love Is? or You and I, or Millionaire Waltz.
There are a lot to choose from actually...for my wedding I intend to get my friend to play the Wedding March on his Red Special. That would be awesome.
And, actually, now that I think about it I reckon I'll have Flashdance. I know it's not Queen but the lyrics seem appropriate and it would be really fun...

How about Wedding March from Flash Gordon...
That's what my wife and I came out of the church to, followed by excercises in free love, and my friend Chris (fat_buddino) played a gorgeous piano arrangement of Love of my Life while we were signing the register. Not bad - three queen related tunes at one wedding service.
Congratulations for your wedding. I think AOBTD is a very good choice if you want to have fun. For my wedding I have choose Highway to hell, from ACDC, and at the wedding party we had a lot of Queen music and everyone had fun.
You Take My Breath Away.
Quite slow but the lyrics are sublime.

Congrats! ^.^ I agree with I Was Born To Love You. But might I suggest It's A Beautiful Day? A wedding day is indeed a beautiful day. Just hope for sunshine, then it would be perfect! Also, I don't think Save Me would be a good wedding song, but it's nice to dance to. ;) Good luck!
Thank you everyone for your comments and your best wishes.
I never thought of haveing I Was Born To Love You played. wouldn't care it's one of my all time favs. i think she may like that idea better.
And yes she is a big queen fan. not as big as me though. but she has been to all the Tribute band gigs i've been to. and was at the Newcastle gig on 03/05/2005, and has even had the micky taken out of her by Gary mullen one night when we had a chat with him after the One Night of Queen gig at newcastle. a couple of times when he was on near us she had booked holidays and we didn't get to the gigs. i had been speaking to him online previous and he and his mother remembered us. so he had a go at her lol. she went bright red as she never knew about it untill then. lol
we are having a family meal after the service so i might slip Another One Bites The Dust on the cd that i have to arrange that will be played as back ground music. if fact i will. lol
but i think I was born To Love You will be spot on. Its our kind of unoffical song. if you know what i mean.

Get Down Make Love?
Maybe for the wedding night, anyway..;-)

At my wedding we played 'All Dead, All Dead' .... hope no one digs up the patio :-)
Love of My Life perfect? The lyrics are all about how one person has been hurt by another, etc, etc. Hardly appropriate for a wedding.
I'd probably suggest a song like I Was Born To Love You. Something upbeat and lyrically appropriate.
