    Blackpool Illuminations - they are switched on half way through our reception, and stay on until 2am. We can't really compete with them!

    They're switching them on just for you??

    I gather your reception will be on Blackpool's front somewhere then? :D

    We get married on switch-on day, and yes, our reception is in a seafront hotel.

    We are having last song as 'Closing Time' by Semisonic as the album it came from (Feeling strangely fine) is 'our album'. Yeah, we have a whole album.. not just one song like normal folks. We'll be trying to work in as many of the other songs as possible throughout the day..

    I didn't think about that! I think we are planning to leave before everyone else anyway, so they can wave us away.

    By the way, does anyone know where the tradition of tying tin cans to the back of a car comes from?

    Hiya, accordinhg to google:

    Tin cans
    According to one perfectly serious source, the act of tying tin cans to the back bumper of the wedding car ensures that evil spirits will be warded off

    Thanks for posting the link. Just watched that and enjoyed it again. :)

    I like the sentiment of the song too..'I know who I want to take me home' and 'every new beginning comes from some other beginnings end' :)
