For the last week or two, Mr. Jasmine and I have been wrestling over what song to choose for our grand entrance into the reception. Now maybe we’ve inflated the importance of the song in our minds, but we can’t help but feel that the song we choose sets the tone for the evening and gets everyone in a spirited mood. So we humbly ask the Hive to help us choose our song!
Contender 1:
Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel”
Sorry YouTube wouldn’t let me embed the original video with the super hot girl that MJ is chasing. Anyway, Mr. Jasmine and I are both huge fans of 80’s MJ and this song makes me feel uber-sassy.
Contender 2:
U2, “Beautiful Day”
Is it bad to choose a song sung by someone you would run away with?
Sorry, Mr. Jasmine but I love me some Bono. And what better sentiment for the day?
Contender 3:
The Beatles, “All You Need is Love”
This is *our* song. Plus, it always makes me thing of the wonderfully whimsical ceremony scene from Love Actually. But is it too slow?
Contender 4 and 5:
Anything Goes, “Anything Goes” and “I Get A Kick Out Of You”
Mr. Jasmine took me to see “Anything Goes” in London in 2004 and I absolutely fell in love with the show. It is kicky, fun, and the songs are so catchy and wonderful. Anyway, I always associate this play with one of the happiest nights of my life, so maybe one of these songs from the play it is fitting?
What sayeth the hive? Any other suggestions for songs we may like, based on our love for 80’s music, Irish rock bands, British pop and show-tunes? ![]()
