It is my favorite song.

She sure is. Any woman that won't let you play Ozzy at the wedding isn't worth spending the rest of your life with. But if she is that special, just wait til later in the reception when everyone is loaded. And she's talking and visiting with people, have the best man request it and have it played. That way it's his fault if she's upset, but by then I doubt she or anyone else will care. This late drunk hour is for the groomsmen to take over the party!

Although I definately wouldn't have it as your first dance, I don' see anything wrong with playing it later on in the evening as long as it is in the genre of music being played at the reception. The first song we ever danced to was "Every Rose Has It's Thorn" by Guns n Roses....even though it's pretty much the opposite of a love song...it has meaning for us so we played it at the very end of the reception when most people had left and things were winding down (we didn't have a going away....as our honeymoon didn't start until two days later). Tell your fiance that playing Iron Man at your wedding is important to you and see if you can work out a compromise! Best wishes.

She is entitled to have her opinion, as are You.... and you BOTH might be surprised at the variety of songs played at a reception, it is a party like any other.
Keep the crowd attending in mind... are they a bunch of "metal heads", "80's generation", "oldies but goodies"? If the majority are going to jump up and love to dance to that then by all means play it (NOT during one of the "special" song periods, not first dance, not mother/son, not father/daughter, you get the gist) if on the other hand you are really only wanting to HEAR it not dance to it and you know most others also wont dance to it, then you will have effectively put a STOP to your reception, do you really want that?
If you decide not to play it at the reception then record it or buy it on CD or something and play it (repeatedly if necessary to get it out of your system for the day) while you're getting ready or in the car on your way to the ceremony, whatever pleases you.
Just remember there is a time and a place for all things.

Hi there;
Now if you were to say that you wanted to have that song played during the wedding that would be different. Every bride has a distinct idea of what they want to have at their weddings and on their wedding day. Usually the bride and groom will discuss the activities of the wedding reception when making the arrangements.
If you really want your fav song to be played at your wedding reception then request the DJ to play it. Better yet, have your best man do the request for Iron Man. Make sure your best man or one of your groomsmen knows to ask the DJ to have it on hand for you.
If your new bride is going to get twisted about it, remind her that it's only a song to her but to you its special. Marriage is about compromise not who won what battles. You are entitled to your feelings in a marriage. Ask her to explain why the song can't be played. If no reasonable explanation is given then my friend you are being shown ahead of time what you are probably in for the rest of your days with this person.

I have not heard it before, but as long as it's not super inappropriate I don't think it's a big deal to play it at the wedding reception. Remind her that it's your wedding too and you have to compromise
After reading some of these posts I don't think you should play it at your wedding reception. You could really piss off some of the older generation and offend them. Remember you want it to be an occasion where everybody is comfortable and if you embarrass your fiancee in front of her relatives it will ruin her day. Save it for the honeymoon or never.

Is that the only thing you want? If so, definately. A girl usually gets to choose everything in the wedding, but that doesn't mean it's right. Besides, marriage is about compromises, right? PS this is even coming from a chick!

It's a song, you love her. Choose.. Men made of iron.. wife.. men made of iron.. wife.. It's just a song man, have fun at your wedding and don't worry so much, you should be happy to be with her regardless if the chicken dance is played or not.

The song that is played at the wedding reception is the one that is picked out by both of you and will be the song that represents your union as husband and wife. Later in life when you hear the song you will tell people "That's our wedding song" not "That's his wedding song"
So if she doesn't want the song then you need to resign, cease and desist. At least start out your marriage in agreement if you want it to last.

My husband and I just discussed this and we agree that it's not a good song for a wedding. You can't dance to it at all. However, maybe they could play it while dinner is being served and no one is dancing. Alternatively, maybe you could play it at the rehearsal dinner. It's your wedding too so your fiance needs to consider your wishes.

Sorry pal but that song is not appropriate music for a wedding. She is not being unreasonable and somewhere inside you know it is not right for this occassion favorite or not.
