Nuptials

Although I've never been one of those girls who dreams about the details of her wedding, I do think about one aspect of it a lot. DA JAMZ. But seriously, I got in a screaming match with my sister all because she was going to pick a modern country song for her wedding song. I've vowed to have great music played at my wedding. We'll have all those typical wedding songs because it's really funny but there will be music that defines me as well. My cousin told me the other day that her new boyfriend really likes Nickelback and Creed. She once thought that she could never like someone with bad taste in music. My cousin is really really cool for a person over 30 and has great taste in music. However, I really hope I never make that concession inside. It may sound stupid but music is so much a part of me that I can't really see myself marrying someone with such different tastes. In many cases, the music people listen to comes with a certain lifestyle as well. I'm hoping to find someone (not anytime soon, of course) that shares my ideologies about music as well as life. That being said, sometimes I do like to think about what my wedding song would be. I used to think a lot about the song, Pictures of You by The Cure. It's an incredibly sad song but I absolutely love it. However, I think I may have found a suitable substitute. I've been listening to a lot of Neutral Milk Hotel lately and I can honestly say, I would really love to hear the title track on In the Aeroplane Over the Sea as my wedding song. It's a beautiful song lyrically and musically. And most importantly, when I hear it, it makes me want to dance. In a very very sappy way. Cheek to cheek, pressed close. All that stuff. It makes me yearn for that which I may or may not have found yet. Paradoxically, I'm in no hurry to become a bride. In fact, I may never wear that white dress. Who knows. At least I have my wedding song.
