OF COURSE IM GONNA MAKE THE DANCE ASK! (witch anon)
Haha!
So I’ll do this errr… actually I’m not sure how to do this:
Zack and Angeal dance to Secret love by Doris day (because their first date was watching a screening of Calamity Jane.)
Zack and Cloud dance to you’ll be in my heart by Phil Collins (because it’s the song Zack used to sing when Cloud was having a bad night.)
Zack and Genesis dance to delicate by Taylor swift (because the day Gen realised their relationship was more than dating the same men this was playing on the radio in Zacks pick up where they’d hid from the rain.)
Zack and Sephiroth dance to Nothing else matters by Metallica (because it’s the first song Zack taught Sephiroth to play on the guitar.)
Angeal and Cloud dance to I fall in love too easily by frank Sinatra (because at 3:00AM when Clouds insomnia had him crying at the kitchen table Angeal turned on their CD player and swayed with him so it.)
Angeal and Genesis dance to Here you come again by Dolly Parton (because Gillian used to Joke that it was written about them because they were stupid about each other.)
Angeal and Sephiroth dance to more than words by Extreme (Sephiroth quotes the song at Angeal when he couldn’t figure out how to tell him he’d fallen for him.)
Genesis and Sephiroth dance to Michelle by the Beatles (because this was playing in the café were they first met.)
Genesis and Cloud dance to so this is love from Cinderella (because their second date was interrupted by kiddo witches from the coven in the park who demanded Genesis sing to them. Cloud fell pretty hard.)
Sephiroth and Cloud dance to done for you by Black vail Brides (because the two of them understand the lyrics intimately and it just feels like their song.)
so the 'will you sing at my wedding' abstract idea has become 'there is a date and you have spent £200 on hotels: this wedding is happening, you have to pick a song'.
As anyone who has read any of my fanfiction knows, I listen exclusively to opera, power metal, scifi prog, leonard cohen and sad singer song writers who fantasise about death waaay too much, as well as a LOT of jazz standards. This actually means I have quite a lot of options (thanks to the jazz standards),
But: do YOU know a good song that hits the sweet spot of 'nice song to sing, not too niche, not too weird, that people will have heard of, isn't secretly about everyone dying'. Basically, I already have maybe I'm amazed by paul mccartney on the longlist, but I only know that one because of the OC. But stuff like that. If so pls let me know so I can listen to it and pretend I didn't waste my life.

In my country, POland, a song with this lyrics is very popular as a first dance (and it shouldnt be played at a wedding at all):
My beautiful sir that I've seen once on technicolor TV
This is the last letter I'm writing to you
I'll no longer need this pocket mirror with your picture on it
It's time for me to get married today
My beautiful sir--I do not love him and that's the truth
You're the one playing the lead role in my every dream
But a girl can't go through life all by herself
That's just life--you know that, don't you
Here they come, with a wedding dress and a veil for me
The Gypsy band is waiting to play their music
The horse's tail is swishing in rhythm with the music
Its hooves are clip-clopping the wedding march away
They'll throw some rice on me for good luck
A crowd of guests will sing a song out of tune
They'll push a golden ring on my finger
And put me in an elevator going up to heaven (x2)
My beautiful sir, I was so nervous I couldn't sleep
So I couldn't dream of you today
And so I'm leaving you with no goodbye, quite suddenly
Somebody has shut the door between us
Here they come, with a wedding dress and a veil for me
The Gypsy band is waiting to play their music
The horse's tail is swishing in rhythm with the music
Its hooves are clip-clopping the wedding march away
They'll throw some rice on me for good luck
A crowd of guests will sing a song out of tune26
They'll push a golden ring on my finger
Hey, Nonnie! Thanks for stopping by and send me this ask. I can definitely see why this song shouldn’t be played as a first dance song at weddings... unless it's an arranged wedding with no love whatsoever.
It baffles me how people can choose such songs. My wedding song was Beauty and The Beast, French version. I know it isn't the most adequate either, but it at least talks about love and not breakup or, you know, being led to wed someone you don't love.
Now I'm curious. Anyone else has wedding songs that are definitely non suitable for a wedding?

Lyrics:
எங்கேயும் எப்போதும் சங்கீதம் சந்தோசம்
ராத்திரிகள் வந்து விட்டால் சாத்திரங்கள் ஓடி விடும்
எங்கேயும் எப்போதும் சங்கீதம் சந்தோசம்
ராத்திரிகள் வந்து விட்டால் சாத்திரங்கள் ஓடி விடும்
கட்டழகு பெண்ணிருக்கு வட்டமிடும் பாட்டிக்கு
தொட்ட இடம் அத்தனையும் இன்பமின்றி துன்பமில்லை தராரரீஓம்
எங்கேயும் எப்போதும் சங்கீதம் சந்தோசம்
ராத்திரிகள் வந்து விட்டால் சாத்திரங்கள் ஓடி விடும்
காலம் சல்லாப காலம்
உலகம் உல்லாச கோலம்
இளமை ரத்தங்கள் ஊரும்
உடலில் ஆனந்தம் ஏறும்
இன்றும் என்றும் இன்பமயம்
தித்திக்க தித்திக்க பேசிக்கொண்டு
திக்குகள் எட்டிலும் ஓடிக்கொண்டு
வரவை மறந்து செலவு செய்து
உயரப்பறந்து கொண்டாடுவோம்
கட்டழகு பெண்ணிருக்கு வட்டமிடும் பாட்டிக்கு
தொட்ட இடம் அத்தனையும் இன்பமின்றி துன்பமில்லை தராரரீஓம்
எங்கேயும் எப்போதும் சங்கீதம் சந்தோசம்
ராத்திரிகள் வந்து விட்டால் சாத்திரங்கள் ஓடி விடும்
காலை Japanல் Coffee
மாலை New Yorkல் Cabaret
இரவில் Thailandல் ஜாலி
இதிலே நம்மக்கென வேலி
இங்கும் எங்கும் நம்முலகம்
உலகம் நமது pocketலே
வாழ்க்கை பறக்கட்டும் rocketலே
இரவு பொழுது நமது பக்கம்
விடிய விடிய கொண்டாடுவோம்
கட்டழகு பெண்ணிருக்கு வட்டமிடும் பாட்டிக்கு
தொட்ட இடம் அத்தனையும் இன்பமின்றி துன்பமில்லை தராரரீஓம்
ஆடை இல்லாத மேனி
அவன் பேர் அந்நாளில் ஞானி
இன்றோ அதுஒரு hobby
எல்லோரும் இனிமேல் baby
வெட்கம் துக்கம் தேவையில்லை
தட்டட்டும் தட்டட்டும் கைகள் ரெண்டு
Come on everybody
தாவட்டும் ஆடட்டும் கால்கள் ரெண்டு
Join me
தட்டட்டும் தட்டட்டும் கைகள் ரெண்டு
தாவட்டும் ஆடட்டும் கால்கள் ரெண்டு
கடவுள் படைத்த உலகமிது
மனிதர் சுகத்தை மறுப்பதில்லை
கட்டழகு பெண்ணிருக்கு வட்டமிடும் பாட்டிக்கு
தொட்ட இடம் அத்தனையும் இன்பமின்றி துன்பமில்லை தராரரீஓம்
எங்கேயும் எப்போதும் சங்கீதம் சந்தோசம்
ராத்திரிகள் வந்து விட்டால் சாத்திரங்கள் ஓடி விடும்
