What Happened on Tonya Harding wedding night

There are many people who are keen to know about Tonya Maxene Harding. Born on November 12, 1970, she is a former figure skating champion from America. She was the first American woman and the second woman in whole to complete a triple axel jump in a recognized competition.

Tonya Harding wedding night is a very interesting subject for the world to talk about. It is actually a celebrity sex tape which appeared on various online sources in the form of a pornographic “Wedding Video”. This video demonstrated her in sexual acts with her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly. Her ex-husband Jeff Gillooly who was literally not involved in the sex scandal had immediately altered his name to Jeff Stone.

All the major stills from the sex tape were published by a popular magazine Penthouse in the month of September 1994. Later on, the tape was itself released for the public. After the release of the tape in the public, Tonya Harding desperately tried to reserve herself from it.

Jeff Gillooly has already mentioned about Tonya Harding wedding night in his autobiography. He also admitted about the conspiracy to injure a former Olympic skater Nancy Kerrigan. She and Tonya Harding were from the same professional background. Nancy Kerrigan was believed to be the top notch competitor of Tonya Harding. This is the reason why she conspired with her ex-husband to injure this Olympic skater.

The act of injuring an Olympic skater and producing a wedding night sex tape later on were highly controversial and criticized widely by the masses. Most of the people even believe that the tape of Tonya Harding wedding night was produced intentionally. The exact reason was not clear. Perhaps in order to divert the attention of masses from other controversies or to boost her shaking career.

After seeing the sex tape people believe that the directorial ability of Gillooly was free-flowing, letting his co-star to manage everything. All the intimate scenes were taken so clearly that there was no question about any sort of scandal.

According to most of the journalists and experts it was a pre planned tape to depict the story of love and the meaning of love making. One gentleman from the field of journalism quoted that, “Tonya Harding was susceptible and was willing to express her feelings and her body and she has done the same. We should not feel disgraceful but express sentiments for the ill-fated couple.”

What are the different songs in a wedding

With all the wedding preparations according to the plan, it becomes imperative to choose the right music to complete a truly memorable ceremony. Popular choices here remain music for praise of divinity, romantic, or some traditional pieces. Following are the various types of wedding songs pieces, played in the background or foreground, according to the time and activities involved:

• Interlude music
It is a universal genre (non-background) that can fill the air during the moments of pause, when no significant proceedings are on. It can be used during the time of meditation, before the exchange of rings, before or after reading, or at any other appropriate phase of the wedding ceremony. Played at optimum volume, it can be pure instrumentals, vocals, or a popular song.

• Prelude music
The time allocation for prelude music can be anywhere as less as ten minutes and as long as half an hour. This is time immediately before the marriage ceremony, while guests arrive and final preparations are made. Ideal choices could be a soft music, which is bright, yet sober. It should be chosen in a way to reflect the mood of the ceremony to follow, all the while giving room for some guest interactions and small talk. Depending upon the availability of time, you can get around eight to ten or less, songs played. It is always a good idea to communicate your musical preferences regarding class, tempo, and the theme of music, to your musical band or DJ, beforehand.

• Procession music
Procession music should be aptly chosen to help the bride and her companions keep pace with it. Mostly religious or soft pieces are chosen and timed with the speed of walk & the length of the aisle.

• Recessional music
It is played after the end of the key proceedings, which marks the conclusion of the wedding ceremony and acts as a transition to the wedding reception. Ideal for some post wedding activities, like photo session, the ‘recessional music’ phase can last for a few minutes, or up to an hour. It can be marked by higher volume or greater tempo, or can be with more subtle overtones.

• Unity Candle songs
Choice of wedding songs for the rituals can be varied – instrumental or vocal, solo or group, etc. There can be combination of songs or a single one. It should be soft enough to allow the participants’ focus to remain on the Unity Candle ritual, more than the song itself.

There are various other types of songs to suit the occasions, such as cake cutting, first dance, bouquet toss, dollar dance, and so on. The number of songs, genre, and other considerations are quiet dependent upon personal preferences and the theme of the party. Therefore, wedding songs can very well set the tone and add to the grandeur of your most important occasion, if chosen carefully.
