  • I WILL NOT PLAY "ONE" BY U2 AT MY WEDDING.

    I MEAN PLZ.  It's a wonderful, hope-riddled song and all, but besides the reprise and the chorus, the lyric is quite distressing to a relationship.
    • "Will it make it easier now, now you got someone to blame?"
    • "Love is a temple, love the higher law; you ask me to enter, but then you make me crawl."
    • "You act like you never had love, now you want me to do without."
    • "Well, we hurt each other, then we do it again."
    • "Did I ask for too much?  More than a lot?  You gave me nothing, now it's all I got."
    • "I can't be holding on to what you got, when all you got is hurt."

    I was blog-surfing and ran across a bride-to-be mentioning that she was going to play that song at her wedding.  For the first dance.  That's a little.. foreboding.

    The moment's lesson:
    Play that song all you want, because it really is awesome.
    Just not at your wedding.
