BACKSEAT! WINDOWS UP!

I'm hoping my wedding will be really small and really informal. As in, few enough people to fit on my parents' back deck. If there's a first dance -- and there may not be, but hey, I can always just play music while people are chit chatting -- I think it'd be great to play "Let's Call The Whole Thing Off" (an Armstrong/Fitzgerald duet.) But then, to make that work I'd need a guy who didn't take himself too seriously.


Verse
Things have come to a pretty pass
Our romance is growing flat,
For you like this and the other
While I go for this and that,
Goodness knows what the end will be
Oh I don't know where I'm at
It looks as if we two will never be one
Something must be done:

Chorus - 1
You say either and I say either, You say neither and I say neither
Either, either Neither, neither, Let's call the whole thing off.

You like potato and I like potahto, You like tomato and I like tomahto
Potato, potahto, Tomato, tomahto, Let's call the whole thing off

But oh, if we call the whole thing off Then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you like pyjamas and I like pyjahmas, I'll wear pyjamas and give up pyajahmas
For we know we need each other so we , Better call the whole off off
Let's call the whole thing off.


Chorus - 2
You say laughter and I say larfter, You say after and I say arfter
Laughter, larfter after arfter, Let's call the whole thing off,

You like vanilla and I like vanella, You saspiralla, and I saspirella
Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry, Let's call the whole thing off

But oh if we call the whole thing of then we must part
And oh, if we ever part, then that might break my heart

So if you go for oysters and I go for ersters, I'll order oysters and cancel the ersters
For we know we need each other so we, Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.


Chorus - 3
I say father, and you say pater, I saw mother and you say mater
Pater, mater Uncle, auntie, let's call the whole thing off.

I like bananas and you like banahnahs, I say Havana and I get Havahnah
Bananas, banahnahs Havana, Havahnah, Go your way, I'll go mine

So if I go for scallops and you go for lobsters, So all right no contest we'll order lobseter
For we know we need each other so we, Better call the calling off off,
Let's call the whole thing off.

but then I tried to talk my college roommate into playing "Let's Get It On" as her first dance. So.

my parents first song was "always and forever" - by heatwave -- everytime my ma hears that song, shes like OHHHH ITS MY WEDDING SONG..... lol, its cute :)

and of course - the last song played at ANY wedding that we go to in NY, friends or family, HAS to be "new york, new york" -- dont ask why - but even now, us living in vegas, one of our family friends from NY moved here, got married and had her wedding here in vegas - and the last song played was NY NY..... :) its a nice remembrance of home :cool:

as for my wedding song ... At Last is a beautiful song.. and ever since i was little - my mom and i would sing "groovy kind of love" together .. so she wants us to dance to that :p .... here i am planning my wedding songs ... and dont you need like ... a significant other before you can marry ?! :rolleyes: :p

Another One Bite The Dust - Queen

My cousin got married a couple of weeks ago and they had "Bless the Broken Road" by Rascal Flatts... I love that song!

My sister got married a couple of weeks ago and used the same song. Your cousin didn't get married in FL did they?;)

We could do it in the library on top of books, but you can't be too loud.

That's romantic, right?

I kind of prefer the "ROUGH SEX, MAKE IT HURT" portion when I'm going for romance

We're actually having that played when we march out of the church!! :D

Personally, I think the line "Tell your boyfriend not to be mad at me" is what cements it as my choice for a perfect wedding song.


H
-- We can do it at the Georgia Dome on the fitty yard line while the dirty birds kick for three!

That song provides an excellent list of sex goals. I can think of no better way to start a marriage.

WooWoo, for all the "At Last" by Etta James lovers...

We got married at over a month ago and that was our first dance.
I danced with my Dad to Sinatra's "The Way You Look Tonight". My reception was on the Queen Mary (for all of you LA GCers) so the music throughout cocktail hour and dinner was very appropriate for the Queen Mary... lots of big band and standards music... so those two songs fit perfectly!

No, PA... it was a weird wedding... he cried more than she did.

Excellent! :)

If & when:

♥ fly me to the moon- sinatra ♥

Our first dance was "Come Away with Me" by Norah Jones.
My father daughter dance was to "In My life" by the Beatles. Our last song was -and this is so cheesy, I'm sorry-" Carolina on my Mind" by James Taylor....because the wedding was in Texas, and we moved to NC....I'm embarrased to admit that. And can you believe, we forgot to have a mother-son dance? It never even crossed my mind, and after the reception, my husbands mom told him that she had wished she could have danced with him. I was like, well, sorry in the midst of planning a wedding 5 states away, you should have said something.....:rolleyes:

I'm favoring "Twilight Time" by The Platters or "Only You" or even "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes"...he wants "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor :rolleyes:

Our "introduction song" was Accidently in Love by Counting Crows and our first dance was Your Song (the Moulin Rouge version).

We danced to Harry Connick Jr's "A Wink and a Smile" from the Sleepless in Seattle Soundtrack.

"We go together....like a wink and a smile."

We used "Fields of Gold" by Sting. We had them cut it about 2/3 the way through, though, b/c we both felt a little weird all on display while everyone stood there and stared! :)

I've got a couple of things in mind so far for my wedding.

"Finish what we started" - Diamond Rio

Lyin' on our backs we stared at the stars
Tryin' to count them or guess how far
I still remember the way that it felt
The night we hung our dreams out on Orion's belt
The moonlight danced out on the water's edge
We started a walk that hasn't ended yet.

Chorus:
And step by step and mile by mile
Taking each turn together
Following the signs that point to forever
And side by side
True and tenderhearted
We'll finish what we started.

The road we have traveled has sometimes been steep
And we've crossed troubled waters
That were raging and deep
But with memories to lean on and love as our guide
There's no path too winding, no river too wide
One foot in front of the other each day
Keeping a promise that two young lovers made.

Chorus:
And step by step and mile by mile
Taking each turn together
Following the signs that point to forever
And side by side
True and tenderhearted
We'll finish what we started.

We'll finish what we started...


"In my dreams" - Josh Turner

Some men dream of crossign oceans
Some men dream one day to fly
Spend their whole lifes out there floatin'
On the water and the sky

Some men dream of buildign fortunes
Some men dream of havin' fame
Nothin' else is more important
Than making money and a name

But in my dreams I see
A little sky blue house
Beside a small stream
A front porch, screen door
The sound of bare feet runnin' and cartoons
In my dreams, your dreams come true

I come find you in your garden
Pullin' weeds between the rows
Trade a kiss for a glass of water
Sit and watch what love can grow

In my dreams I see
A little sky blue house
Beside a small stream
A front porch, screen door
The sound of bare feet runnin' and cartoons
In my dreams, your dreams come true

In my dreams your dreams
Are the only things
That really matter to me
When you smile I smile
What makes you happy makes me happy too
In my dreams your dreams come true
In my dreams your dreams come true
