Thread Name: Wedding Quiz
Subject: Wedding Quiz
I haven't put this one down in "BS", as there are a couple of musical questions.

As usual with my quizzes "PLEASE DON'T POST ANSWERS IN THIS THREAD". Discussions & subtle hints are acceptable, but answers act as spoilers, especially when people spot the quiz over a period of time.
I will post the answers next week on my usual thread.

The title of the quiz is a theme which runs through the quiz, either in the questions, or in the answers.
Enjoy
