Wedding Reception - Fantasy Lineup of Bands

I already married my fairy princess, but here is what I would do.  For the afternoon, during  canapes, tea, and quails' eggs with celery salt, Ragstone goats' cheese with caramelized walnuts and Parmesan crisps and confit duck-leg terrine with smoked duck and pear chutney, plus mini roast beefs and Yorkshire pudd and maybe even bubble and squeak confits.  With all the yapping, some music please:  Elton of course would lead a tasty afternoon combo including Sir Paul and Eric, and Jeff Lynn from ELO, Ray Cooper, and Bryan Ferry, with Zach Starkey on drums and Dhani Harrison, Joe Cocker singing, Steve Winwood on organ, plus Graham Nash on rhythm guitar.  All in various smaller units, playing a bright uplifting afternoon set, oh - toss in Ravi Shankar and his daughter Norah Jones.  Transitioning from the  afternoon, Glaswegian Jim Kerr and his mates from Simple Minds would move things into modern rock.  Instead of Bono representing Ireland, I'd go with Van the Man, and also Pete (mind your manners), for a couple songs.  Then at around 11 pm - supporting Def Leppard would be Mick, Tina, Bowie, Brian May, and Jimmy Page taking things into the late night.  Afterglow would be a full-on Genesis reunion concert.  I think even those in these fantasy groupings would like how I have them sorted.
