Mr. Foxy scored major awesome points in my book last Friday night.

See…I find ideas for wedding music daily. I have a whole playlist on iTunes called “Wedding Possibilities” that is full of songs I dream of using for our processional, recessional, first dance, whatever. Too many songs, honestly. I need more “moments” so I can have more songs.

Anyway. My teenage heart and I big puffy heart love Dashboard Confessional—always have, always will. One of my favorite lovey-dovey songs for the longest time has be “Stolen.”

Listen…now.

Ugh, I swoon. Love. Him. / Video via YouTube

It was my ringtone for Foxy for a while, too.

Well, my awesome fiancé always laughs at my one true love, Chris Carrabba. (I think he’s jealous.) When I first mentioned that “Stolen” would be perfect to play at some point during the wedding, he scoffed.

So I mentioned “Even Now,” which has currently become my number one first-dance-song pick.

I mean…come on.

One listen and I have tears in my eyes.

So Foxy and I go out to dinner on Friday and come home after a couple drinks, and I start fiddling with iTunes while he’s playing Call of Duty.

He randomly says, “Put on that Dashboard song.”

So I ask which one, to which he replies, “The one you really like. Cause it makes me sad in a happy way.”

I thought it was my new favorite, “Even Now,” but finally deduced that he meant “Stolen.”

So I play it, and he looks at me and says, “This should be our first-dance song.”

Wiggity what?! He likes it now??! Apparently.

Now I’m not promising anything, but this is a huge development. It’s very rare for him to have unsolicited opinions about wedding-related things this far out. I’m putting it in the “win” column. Especially because it involves Dashboard. Huzzah!

Anyone else have a significant other with a musical change of heart?
