A Song I Would Like Played At My Wedding

Considering that my wedding was over eighteen years ago, that ship has probably sailed. However, I'll instead name the song I wish we'd played at our wedding. In the months leading up to it,

haddayr and I threw around ideas for what song we'd play for "the dance." We'd considered and thrown out, "Kisses Sweeter Than WIne," by Pete Seeger and "Androgynous," by the Replacements. We'd probably considered a bunch of other songs too, but I can't remember what they were. The song we kept going back to, though, was "In My Life," by the Beatles, but after someone mentioned to Haddayr that we should pick something current to our generation, we gave up on that. In the end, there was no song and "the dance" never took place, though we did do a ridiculous, over-the-top dance to "Unchained Melody," complete with dips (of both her and me), pained expressions, hands-clutched-to-the-chest, and lots of silliness. I do wish we'd played "In My Life," though, but we've played it pretty much every year on our anniversary, which is nice too.
