I think this could happen. They just played at Speed Street earlier this year, so we know they'll travel to Charlotte. They also have a leg-kickin' dance that goes along with "Jungle Love." I demonstrated it for Fiancee and her mom this weekend in the family living room. It wasn't great, but was good enough to make the family golden retriever bark and stomp. It also woke up Fiancee's father. I'm not sure if anyone was impressed, but to be fair, I haven't been rehearsing.
We're looking at a couple of other bands too, just on the off chance that we can't book The Time. You can do so by going to a website and watching videos. Turns out, Charlotte has a thriving wedding band music scene. There are a lot of bow ties and mustaches. Casio keyboards are quite common. Some bands are willing to dress in costume. Fiancee is going to be so happy when she arrives at the reception and is serenaded by Imperial stormtroopers.
There are a lot of choices out there. Some look like they would be great. But, to be honest, none of them even come close to Morris Day. Nobody else can say they were in Purple Rain. No other group that we've looked at has a dude named Jellybean in the band.
I'll give them a call. We'll see if they'll be willing to perform pro bono and make our wedding day special. If not, we're willing to entertain offers, so long as you're willing to perform as Ewoks.
