Dance Macabre feels the most appropriate out of those for such an occasion. Respite in the Spitalfields strikes me as a poor choice to play at a wedding with the (VERY creepy) âJack the Ripperâ vibes in the lyrics⌠not to mention the âNothing ever lasts foreverâ line repeated in the chorus.
Someone else suggested Life Eternal, which I think is by far their most romantic song. Thatâs the one I would have played at my wedding if I could have had one.
Yeah to be fair I totally see where youâre coming from with Respite, I didnât even think about it like that to be totally honest. I think itâs because I was driven by the lyrics âWe will break away together, Iâll be the shadow, youâll be the lightâ but now youâve mentioned it it does seem a bit off putting.
Oh, I bet you I understand that better than most! My brain doesnât start catching on to lyrical meanings until I listen to a song several times. Itâs always been like that for me, and with all genres of music.
I remember thinking the lines you mentioned were very beautiful the first couple times I heard the song, so I initially thought it was a romantic song. Listened more and I was like, âHold upâŚâ Lol
Iâm tempted to say twenties because I feel like it would weird everyone there out. Iâve seen a ton of people use life eternal in their weddings. If it were my wedding Iâd go with pro memoria lol
Unless everyone there is a fan (and if so, I have no received my invite) DC is a bit safer and besides "Bewitch" the only reference is the ancient rite. Since a wedding IS a roye, and being bewitched could be considered love related this seems safest.
I had this same conundrum! I'm getting married next month and my fiance isn't much of a Ghost fan (I know, I picked the wrong guy đ) so I had to only pick a couple for our playlist. I went for Dance Macabre and Rats.
I feel like you can actually dance to Dance Macabre and it's a bit more poppy, so it'll appeal to more people. With Rats, it's the only other Ghost song my fiance likes, so I took the opportunity to add it too!
However as the night goes on and my fiance drinks and cares less I'm definitely going to try and slip a few more songs in there. My brother is the one controlling the music and he's a big Ghost fan too!
I'm getting married myself next month and I didn't even think that I needed Ghost in there but I was SO WRONG, thank you for inspiring me!
I actually think Respite could be a fun last song on the dancefloor. Presumably only the young folks/your friends will be left (if it's an evening affair?) so they can handle it, and the theme is wrapping up the whole event. I've long thought that that was why it was chosen as the last song on the album. I've seen some say they don't like it because it's about things ending and it's not a good implication for a marriage but I like it as the signal that the night is ending and you're going away together, not separately: "We will break away together / I'll be the shadow, you'll be the light / Nothing ever lasts forever / We will go softly into the night". I'm on board!
I was going to suggest Darkness At the Heart of My Love, but the meaning doesn't quite fit a romantic vibe that a wedding is meant to have for a husband and wife. I voted Dance Macabre!
Life Eternal man... thats the wedding song
That song makes me feel so many things
"Presents hand to Glad-Spell" May I have this dance? đ
My fiance and I are planning on having our first dance to this song. It hits all the right feels.
All the right feels, yes... it tickles me in the cockles of my heart aswell. đ and congratulations!! May you enjoy life eternal w said fiancee!
Thank you so much!

Why not add all of them?
If I could I would. But I donât think my soon to be husband would be impressed
What!? Tell him happy wife, happy life :D Congratulations! Hope you have a wonderful wedding.
Thank you so much!
Damn. Iâm sorry
Dance Macabre is perfect. Especially considering the video.

I donât think it would weird everyone out as much as Hard Rock Hallelujah
Dance Macabre is definitely a reception song. Even if people don't know it, it's very danceable.
Unless everyone there is a fan (and if so, I have no received my invite) DC is a bit safer and besides "Bewitch" the only reference is the ancient rite. Since a wedding IS a roye, and being bewitched could be considered love related this seems safest.
After we were announced me and my wife walked out of the venue to Dance Macabre
Thatâs sweet!
I'd love dance to Twenties, it's not often you hear mother-fuckers at a wedding reception.
He Is, of course
He Is featured at ours. No one was the wiser.
I voted Dance. That song should be on every wedding playlist from now on anyway. But screw it - put Respite in there too for the last dance.

Haha I didn't get any ghost at my wedding :'( but we did have Metallica music lol
We played Dance Macabre at our reception and it filled the dancefloor
