wedding photos in the library? YES PLEASE

Confession: I read wedding blogs like it’s my job. (It’s not my job.)

Generally I’m very picky with my cheesy to romantic ratio, and my friends still make fun of me for watching this video and complaining that flirting with post-its is just a waste of post-its. (Think of the trees!)

But weddings? A good wedding will get me every time. Every single time.

Take for example this couple, who may just be THE MOST ADORABLE TWO PEOPLE THAT HAVE EVER BEEN IN LOVE.

Also, it reaffirms my love for the color combo of gray and yellow. My boyfriend thinks I’m weird for liking it so much, but don’t they look amazing together?! GRAY IS AMAZING.

Okay, I’m back. Anyway…

Watching this video makes me almost tear up every time. And yes, I’ve seen it more than once. And no, I have no idea who they are.

Creepy? I think the word you’re looking for is… appreciative.

Anyway, here’s a quick little rundown of my wedding playlist that I’ll maybe be one day dancing to. Hopefully in the way, way future. Because I’ll be honest, even though I’ll cry and random people’s weddings, feeding off their own happiness (creepy), the thought of walking down the aisle myself gives me the heebbie jeebies.

Only You- Yaz
Since high school I’ve imagined that an instramental version of this song would be playing as I walked down the aisle. I love how weird and surprising the song choice would be, but I think it would play beautifully instramentally.

I think I’ve since then changed my mind about what song should play at this moment, but the live string quartet version I’ve composed in my head still really appeals to me so maybe I’ll work it in some way. Plus, the live performance may be a bit too much of a splurge. (Geez, I’m way too practical even in my own fantasies.)

Side note: did NOT know a woman sang this song for the longest time!

We’ve Only Just Begun- The Carpenters
I promise this will be the cheesiest part of the night!

Oh gosh, it may just be too much for me. I’ll probably whimp out and play it as the last song when most people have gone home by then.

Dress and Tie- Charlene Kaye ft. Darren Criss
The first time I heard it I thought WEDDING SONG, so I think that’s a good sign. It definitely has that pop-y cutesy beat everyone seems to be using nowadays. Maybe by the time I get married I’ll be feeling something else (kind of like how everyone in the 90′s danced at their wedding to Boyz II Men’s “I Swear”), but for my fictional right-now wedding, this is perfection.

The Way You Make Me Feel- Michael Jackson
Okay, so I have a thing for 80′s music. I think my wedding could just be 90% Michael Jackson, 10% Coldplay (not that they’re particularly wedding-y or anything, but I think Chris Martin’s voice is ridiculously romantic) and I’d be perfectly happy.

I love the begining of this song. First dance material? Maybe!

(update: I’ve never seen the video until today, and I kind of love that MJ basically sexually harasses the girl down the street and then woos her with some smokey shadow dancing)

One and Only- Adele
This is definitely a movie-love sort of song and I LOVE IT. Now that I think about it, I want to marry Adele. Oh yeah, we’ll make it happen New York style.   : )
