"Rachel Getting Married" (Dir. Jonathan Demme, 2008)
Song "Unknown Legend" by Neil Young (Sung by Tunde Adebimpe)

There are many songs by Neil Young that have been performed at weddings over the decades.

"Unknown Legend", from the 1992 Neil Young album Harvest Moon is a frequent wedding song. Here the song "Unknown Legend" is sung by Tunde Adebimpe in the Jonathan Demme film "Rachel Getting Married" released in 2008. For the wedding scene, actor Adebimpe skips the vows and sings directly to his new wife (played by Anne Hathaway) an a cappella version of Young’s “Unknown Legend”. Also, Tunde Adebimpe is the lead singer of the band "TV on the Radio."

"Harvest Moon" - Neil Young, MTV Unplugged - 1993

Another perpetually popularly appropriate wedding song by Neil Young is "Harvest Moon" from the 1992 album.

For us here at Thrashers Wheat will always hold a special place. Many may recall in 2008 when a couple in love requested "Harvest Moon" in concert while Neil Young performed in Brisbane, Australia. And by some extremely wonderfully little miracle, Neil Young performed "Harvest Moon" that night and it brought a tear of joy for many around the world.

Or the time A Wish for "Harvest Moon" is Granted for Liza at the 2009 concert in Köln, Germany.

Here are the 3 Harvest Moon stories:
- Steve and Danielle in Brisbane, Australia
- Liza in Germany
- Gavin in Dublin, Ireland
