I have been going to a few weddings lately and I have to say I have been really surprised about some of the song choices my friends and family have made. They have made some truly inappropriate song choices to play for the first dance and at the reception I wonder if things got a little...lost in translation? Here is a list of just some of the inappropriate songs I have heard at weddings:

:bulletwhite:'Every Breath You Take' by Sting and the Police – This one will never fail to shock me when people play it as a love song, have you not listened to the lyrics? It's about stalker…."I'll be watching you….":wtf:
:bulletwhite:'One' by U2 – to quote the man himself: "It amazes me when people tell me they played it at their wedding or for comfort at a funeral. I go to myself, 'Are you crazy? It's about breaking up.'" (Los Angeles Times, 8th August 2004.) :petting:
:bulletwhite:'My Heart Will Go On' by Celine Dion – She's singing about her lover who died.:tombstone:
:bulletwhite:'Billie Jean' by Michael Jackson – I really don't understand why this was played. Maybe they were focusing on the lyrics about 'a girl who thinks I am the one' and ignoring the rest about the begetting of a love child.:backstab:
:bulletwhite:'One of Us' by Joan Osbourne – Yes, yes, it's a wonderfully deep and meaningful song. About God's isolation from humanity.:pray:
:bulletwhite:'Don't Speak' by No Doubt – a classic break-up song of the best kind.:sniff:
:bulletwhite:'When a Man Loves a Woman' by Percy Sledge – Sledge made this song up on the spot after he got dumped by his girlfriend seconds before having to go on stage to perform at a club. This is a song for all those men who've been too blinded by love to notice their woman treating them like dirt…actually come to think of it, I know the perfect couple for this song, but I'm not going to name names…:whisper:
:bulletwhite:' Perfect Day' by Lou Reed – A beautiful, touching song about one man and his heroin habit. Can you believe that Children in Need were going to rerecord it and use it as a fundraiser!:woohoo:
:bulletwhite:'Here with Me' by Dido – Written about the morning after the night before if you know what I mean *wink wink* *nudge nudge* :hump:
:bulletwhite:'November Rain' by Guns N' Roses – This is a sad song about a couple on the verge of breaking up.:tears:
:bulletwhite: 'White Wedding' by Billy Idol – This is a classic anti wedding song. It is about an angry man whose true love is married to someone else.:heartbreaker:
:bulletwhite: 'If Loving You Is Wrong, I Don't Want to be Right' by Luther Ingram – This one would leave me asking questions. It's about two married people having an affair. "I don't wanna be right if it means coming home at night." … yeah maybe your significant other has something to tell you…:O_o:


But I'm not a complete kill joy – here are a couple of songs that will go down a treat at a wedding:

:bulletwhite: 'All I Want is You' by Barry Louis Polisar – This is a very happy go lucky song with such lyrics as "All I want is you, will you be my bride. Take me by the hand and stand by my side. All I want is you, will you stay with me? Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea. " honestly what a cute song!:love:
:bulletwhite: 'Don't Falter' by Mint Royales –  this is another sweet song about a bride singing about her love for her groom.:blowkiss:
:bulletwhite: 'Anyone Else but You' by The Moldy Peaches –here's a love song for the passionate, strong minded geeks. Which relates to me perfectly *giggle*:date:
