Great Love Songs That Are Completely Inappropriate for My Wedding, Pt. 3:
I mentioned that Ben and I are paying for this wedding thing ourselves, and that the joy of that is that you can take a stand against things you hate (I totally just erased that word, since it seemed a little strong, and then realized, no, I meant hate, and put it back in) and your parents like, and since they aren't paying, you win. Yay! So, I acknowledge that what I am about to say may be somewhat controversial. I will remind you that these are songs that are inappropriate for my wedding, you do what you want at yours.
I am taking a stand against Paradise By The Dashboard Light by Meatloaf, a perennial wedding favorite, and one song that my mother specifically requested. And I said "No." (I also felt like a bad daughter for saying it, because, really, it's such a little thing but I really really don't like it for my wedding).
Ok, I get it. It's funny. It's wedding related. It's a classic. It's also eight minutes long, which is like an eternity. And it's not nice about marriage. And we aren't getting married because I put out. And Ben better not be praying for the end of time. And I really want to tear my hair out everytime the baseball player announcer part comes on. Sorry, Mom.
P.S. How hysterical is this video of Meatloaf? I love the "sultry" faces he keeps making at the camera.
