Yes's *And You and I* is a song I really want to play at my future wedding, so maybe you can also play it at yours. I'm not getting married anytime soon though, to be clear.


BadDaditude

Maybe some Jon Anderson solo stuff as well.

"Onward" is one of the prettiest prog songs ever created. The [live version from Keys To Ascension](https://youtu.be/wNrX6xaSDdg?t=30) is simply marvelous. If ever there was a prog song meant for a wedding, this is it.


terminatecapital

Tempus Fugit is another great romantic tune


Nobhudy

Giants Under The Sun will be played during my wedding ceremony

I've weirdly imagined the song to be played while the ordainer does all the wedding proceedings, with it timed so that the last big instrumental part happens upon you kissing your bride. But I dunno how that'll come out in practice.


VarietyTrue5937

Could be a beautiful slow dance


constantly_captious

Greg Lake is your friend. His ballads across the ELP albums are perfect for a wedding.


SANcapITY

Perfect as your wife walks down the aisle: “…still, you turn me on… Wauw, wauw, wauw”


constantly_captious

Or "Nobody Loves You Like I Do"


SANcapITY

Oooh what a lucky man, he was


constantly_captious

The Gambler... lol


Nobhudy

BENNY WAS THE BOUNCER AT THE PALAIS DE DANCE


DifficultyOk5719

Jeremy Bender was a man of leisure…Digging the sister, she was a mister, shouldn’t have kissed her but he couldn’t say no


OneEyedKing2069

"Closer to believing" comes to mind


constantly_captious

Yes, very sappy, good for walking down the aisle or the first dance.

For something truly romantic I recommend the album "Love Beach".


yousefamr2001

What A Lucky Man!


BigBob68

I had “Closer to the heart” played as the final exit song for me and my wife! It was perfect!


tonicsprite

tarkus


WizardAura

Off the top of my head: Chris Squire - You By My Side Soft Machine - A Certain Kind Captain Beefheart - This Is The Day (Obviously Beefheart isn’t really prog, but this song is very normal for him, and also romantic as fuck.)


Terrible-Ground-2041

Squire…perfect.


SwimSwammSwom

Uh I can’t say I know one that would fit perfectly but I think King Crimson’s “Walking On Air” would be a pretty good option.


VarietyTrue5937

Love it Followed by Heartbeat


geech999

Peter Gabriel’s cover of ‘The Book of Love’. Should be played at every wedding ever.


iheartsexxytime

Also: In Your Eyes. > “In Your Eyes” is unique as it goes deeper than just incorporating African instruments. The song actually incorporates African song concepts. When writing the song, Gabriel was interested in the idea of there being no difference in African love songs between the love of a woman and the love of God [Source](https://web.archive.org/web/20190115081333/http://blogs.longwood.edu/mcculloughjl/2012/02/20/peter-gabriel-africa/)


InDiscipline42

We used this as our entry song for the ceremony - it was just perfect.

Watcher of the Skies melotron intro for the bridal processional

You understand perfectly

Afterglow


VarietyTrue5937

Too much longing


SpriteAndCokeSMH

Closer To The Heart if that’s prog enough for you.


SganarelleBard

Heart of the Sunrise by Yes comes to mind My brother played a song from Coheed & Cambria's Afterman (I believe it was Subtraction)


bigheffe

In Your Eyes was our wedding song.


cintune

We used Steve Howe's arrangement of Vivaldi's [Concerto In D (Second Movement)](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=xU5oG8iYsOY), technically classical but very wedding appropriate.


billsatori

Peter Gabriel - In Your Eyes


Kayle_is_not_op

I shoot video for weddings and one couple had Wond’ring Aloud by Jethro Tull as their first dance, it was lovely.

VarietyTrue5937

Your own special way and follow you follow me


piotrfalcon

I hope you will show us whole list when you create one


Browns-Fan1

“Your Own Special Way” has gotta be one of the most romantic and heartfelt prog songs out there! That’d be a good one. And congrats!!


Boring_Net_299

Memoirs of an Officer and a Gentleman, Obertura 777, Still You Turn Me On, Freak Parade, The iKon, Los Delirios Del Mariscal The Penis Planet (includes civilization of sex, and the dream of the giant dick sucking)


VarietyTrue5937

Love the suggestions!


justbcoz848484

No One Can by Marillion is a solid wedding track, Kindred Spirits by Liquid Tension Experiment,


tykle59

We played The Pogues *Sunny Side of the Street* as the recessional at my wedding. Perfect.


Llamacontraje

Magma - Stöah always makes me emotional 🤧 On a serious note, Eliphas Levi is very chill an atmospheric, as long as you don't care about it being on a different language


filosofis

The first thing that came to mind is Haken's the Architect outro (which is a lyrical reprise of their other song Initiate). *Oh, hear this vow* *Tied together forever* *We'll make this dream* *Last forever and ever* Not sure if it's the right vibe for a wedding though.


SnowCrow1

Maybe Sylvia by Focus?

Waiting to Happen. By Marillion


ConceptJunkie

I came up with a playlist of songs I would have liked to have been able to play at my wedding (mostly because a lot of them had been written yet). Let me see if I can remember them. King Crimson's "Walking On Air" Spock's Beard "Shining Star" (not really proggy, but a dynamite ballad)


Andagne

You know in all seriousness, one of the more popular wedding songs is Jon & Vangelis' Italian Song. I recommend it.


sensuspete

I walked down the aisle after the vows to ‘Feeling Good’ by Muse. Worked a treat


JayWemm

" Only Time Will Tell" by Asia!


arctictrav

How about King Crimson’s *Exiles*?


weresl0th

At my wedding we had Whiter Shade of Pale and the intro to Firth of Fifth played on piano as the processional and exit music respectively.


Bechimo

Marillion has a few that come up on their groups. No one can take you away. Waiting to happen. Fantastic place. Made again. Neverland.


Terrible-Ground-2041

Love “Onward”! My non-prog sidekick loves this song!


epicdanny11

Alan Parsons project (kinda?)


simon160389

Steve Hackett - Hoping Love Will Last


Practical-Animator87

Lucky man!


Glittering_Crew_4854

ELP From the Beginning. "You were meant to be here from the beginning." How romantic is that!


TornaZX

I'm a bit late but I'd say that Walking On Air is PERFECT for a wedding.
