"Let me preface this with the fact that I seriously considered using some of these for my own wedding (that groom of mine shot me down), so I use the word &amp;amp;#8220;corniest&amp;amp;#8221; with love. &amp;amp;#8220;Forever,&amp;amp;#8221; by Jesse and the Rippers Who are Jesse and the Rippers, you ask? Why John Stamos&amp;amp;#8217;s fictional band on Full House, of course. As soon as I remembered this song existed, I pitched it to Paul by playing the hilariously cheesy music video that went along with it. He just shook his head no. A groom I know told me he had his first dance to it: &amp;amp;#8220;We didn&amp;amp;#8217;t choose it for the deep meaning, but rather because it was awesomely terrible and we wanted something to make us laugh.&amp;amp;#8221; That&amp;amp;#8217;s a perfect reason to pick it, if you ask me. &amp;amp;#8220;I Do (Cherish You),&amp;amp;#8221; by 98 Degrees Even though this song was clearly written to be a wedding song, it has a couple things pushing it into the corny category. First, a 90s boy band sang it. And not just any boy band: one with Nick Lachey in it. Second, pretty much any song with a parenthetical phrase in the title is automatically corny. Think &amp;amp;#8220;Everything I Do (I Do It For You)&amp;amp;#8221; and &amp;amp;#8220;(I Just) Died In Your Arms Tonight.&amp;amp;#8221; &amp;amp;#8220;Can You Feel the Love Tonight?&amp;amp;#8221; by Elton John I toyed with using this one too because The Lion King came out around the time I was pining for Paul. But a ditty made famous by singing cartoon animals was crossing a line for me. Besides, all Disney movie theme songs are intrinsically corny. &amp;amp;#8220;A Whole New World&amp;amp;#8221; also comes to mind. &amp;amp;#8220;Forever in Love,&amp;amp;#8221; by Kenny G I really, really wanted to use this instrumental number because Paul and I played it in our band class. It was the only time I was on snare drum while he was on bass drum, which meant we got to--gasp--stand right next to each other for a whole four minutes. Plus, it&amp;amp;#8217;s a beautiful melody (YouTube it). But, sigh, it&amp;amp;#8217;s Kenny G (although he was cool enough for Foster the People to perform with on SNL!). &amp;amp;#8220;Hopelessly Devoted to You,&amp;amp;#8221; by Olivia Newton John I love Grease as much as the next girl, but the song is a tad too desperate-sounding to be a wedding song, as many musicals&amp;amp;#8217; tracks are (hey, they&amp;amp;#8217;re supposed to be theatrical). &amp;amp;#8220;More Than Words,&amp;amp;#8221; by Extreme It pains me to say this because this song is probably one of my top 10 favorites of all time (yes, really!), but most of your wedding guests won&amp;amp;#8217;t be able to think of anything but those two long-haired rockers unplugging in their sentimental black-and-white video. (But if I&amp;amp;#8217;m at your wedding, I will sway happily to the sweet sounds and probably get teary.) For that matter, ballads by heavy metal groups who suddenly went soft are all fairly corny. And with that, I admit to you that Paul and I are guilty of choosing a song like this. We went with &amp;amp;#8220;Thank You,&amp;amp;#8221; by Led Zeppelin, which actually has the lyric &amp;amp;#8220;Happiness, no more be sad, happiness&amp;amp;#133;I&amp;amp;#8217;m glad.&amp;amp;#8221; So if a corny song melts your heart, go ahead and play it for your first dance. Just make sure you don&amp;amp;#8217;t mind the cheesiness because your wedding song will always be your wedding song! What other corny wedding songs would you add to this list? Would you choose a classically corny wedding song for your first dance? Do you think any of the above aren&amp;amp;#8217;t so corny?
