Say, has anyone ever mentioned Reed and Sue's wedding song before?

Here's "Oh Promise Me" performed by a music box:





And by opera singer Carmela Ponselle (sister of the more famed vocalist Rosa Ponselle):





Now, the version that the 1966 Reed and Sue would have probably been most familiar with is the 1945 Nelson Eddy cover:





But I like to think that ever-with-it Ben Grimm might have picked out this arrangement for them: the smooth and satiny sound of The Platters:




Which only goes to show: sometimes a classic is more timeless than a 90s rock song:

Onna other hand, who wouldn't want this for their wedding song? I know me an' Keira Knightley will enjoy dancing to this!:

Um, Bully, are John and Randi trying to tell us something, and if so where should we send congratulations?
