Happy Valentine’s Day

Posted on by Patrick

So I was look­ing for some­thing else, and I hap­pened across our wed­ding invi­ta­tion. You know it’s love when she lets you get away with putting “RSVP or else” on the card.

Pho­tos:

Just in time for Valentine's Day...

  1. RSVP or else. I love it. But I see you had to make a con­ces­sion and allow a bit of Will into the affair. Didn’t want to risk Joy Division’s Love Will Tear us Apart, eh? (Man, that song has had a lot of cov­ers!)

    True sto­ry. At the wed­ding of my old girlfriend’s sis­ter, she had the DJ play Car­ly Simon’s That’s The Way I’ve Always Heard it Should Be, which includes:

    You say that we can keep our love alive
    Babe, all I know is what I see
    The cou­ples cling and claw
    And drown in love’s debris
    You say we’ll soar like two birds through the clouds
    But soon you’ll cage me on your shelf
    I’ll nev­er learn to be just me first by myself

    Remem­ber that one?

    I said to her, “Good heav­ens, why did you choose that?”

    “But I like that song!”

    Some peo­ple nev­er lis­ten to the lyrics.

  2. A friend of mine once want­ed to ded­i­cate Meat Loaf’s* “Two Out of Three Ain’t Bad” to his girl­friend:

    I want you
    I need you
    But–there ain’t no way I’m ever gonna love you
    Now don’t be sad
    ’cause two out of three ain’t bad

    When he men­tioned it, I said, “Have you ever lis­tened to the lyrics?”

    Then, of course, there was the wed­ding where some­one (not the bride or groom, I don’t think) had the DJ play “Clos­er” by Nine Inch Nails. Woot. At least the grand­par­ents had left by that point…
