Artist: The Wedding Band
Album: The First Dance EP
I don’t know if ill ever get married. Being 31 years old and as single as they come, im under the impression that it might never happen for me. I don’t want that to be the case, but I want to be realistic, too. This puts a romantic like myself in a really crappy situation. I believe in love, I just don’t believe that love believes in me.
But just because I don’t know that ill ever get married doesn’t mean that I haven’t planned my wedding. I am female, after all. I know that I don’t want anything big. I have seen my friends go through the wedding planning business, and I have seen what comes after…you spend 125 dollars a head on dinner for these people, and six months later you don’t even speak to them. That seems wasteful and silly to me.
I want to get married in a church, but I want a reception in a back yard with a swimming pool and a barbeque. Maybe that is considered “white trash” but I don’t care. It is what I want. I want to be barefoot in the summer sun with the people that I love the most. I don’t want to invite 500 people just so that I can have the owl plates that I can’t stop thinking about now that Devin brought them up. I am not really that greedy or materialistic, at least I believe that I am not.
Now, on the occasion that I do get married, I want my wedding to sound just like this album. It is only four tracks, and honestly, I don’t want a long, drug out ceremony, because that is boring to sit through. I just want to get to the party. This album is actually Mumford & Sons under an alias, but the album sounds just like you would expect something that they wrote to sound. And if, for some reason, you don’t know what Mumford & Sons sounds like, shame on you. Stop reading right now and remedy that. Ill even provide you with a link so that you might educate yourself. That is, after all, what this blog is about.
Because the album is only four tracks long, its hard to chose a favorite. Thumper is the song that ends up on mix tapes when I want to add one of these songs, but she said yes is so damn cute I cant even stand it. I hope that in the case that I do get married, the man that I marry is this excited when I say yes. Praise the Lord, glory, hallelujah, she said yes!
I invite you to listen to these songs, all four are on YouTube, and leave me a comment telling me which one is your favorite. Help me make up my mind!
And if the man that I marry one day reads this, plan on dancing barefoot to one of these songs at our reception. <3
