I'm sure the deities approved. I often hear pieces and think "wedding music!". Purcell's music for royal occasions is a particularly good source, if you can avoid the most sycophantic of the texts. And Monteverdi's Chiome d'oro - if only I could find a recording that's as good as this one particular live performance that I heard back in about 2002. At one point I had Stefano Landi's "T'amai gran tempo" marked down as potential wedding material, until I checked the translation. Lines include "You always betrayed me, faithless woman" and "Drop dead now! / I don't want you any more". Probably not such a good choice then. So, for my wedding, all I need to do now is to find a girl who agrees with my musical selection... I am going about this in the correct order, aren't I? Nice choices - and congratulations both!
