Falling in Like

February 16th, 2010 @ 4:27 pm by Mrs. Scissors

Falling in Like :  wedding music Fort2 fort2

With lines like that, it’s difficult not to fall hard over Big Poppa E’s poem “Falling in Like”. I’m not quite sure what made me remember this dude, or his poem, but it hit me the other day while thumbing through the pages of I Like You. This poem, while being pretty drastically different in form, given the fact that this is technically “slam poetry”, evokes some of the similar feelings of I Like You. It’s sweet, innocent, and just plain awesome.

Take a little listen and watch… (The poem starts at 2:30, but before that he gives a little background and says some bad words. I like watching the whole dang thing, but skip ahead if you wish.)

I love it.

Perhaps I look for wedding inspiration in all the wrong places, or I’m a little off my rocker, but this just speaks to me in a, “USE ME USE ME! I HAVE A GREAT MESSAGE!” sort of way. It’s probably a little late in the game for me to start tacking things on, but I just can’t help myself. Whether or not we find a way to work this into our wedding day, I still think it is worth a thought, listen, or at least a hearty “Awww!”

Do you find wedding inspiration in the strangest of places? Anybody else have a problem with finding more, and more, and more, and more [ ... ] and more things that you’d like to incorporate into your wedding? How do you weed it all out?

Love this. One of my dear friends is a slam poet and will be reading (performing) at our wedding. I have given her free rein to do her thing as long as it relates in some way to love. Can.Not.Wait. to see what she comes up with.

This is a random question but what font did you use for the fort line?

I also have a big problem with finding inspiration and trying to incorporate more and more things. In the end I just try to remember that we wanted to keep things as simple as possible so I only pick the easy things to pull off.

Aww, thanks for posting this. It struck a nerve with me because my husband proposed to me in a fort that he built in the living room, and now we build one together on our anniversaries.

I love him! I first heard his Harry Potter love song and then fell in love with the rest of his poems!

i think it’s the slightly uncommon ideas like this that are the best. it’s not typical and so it stands out a bit more. i like it!
