Wedding Song: All of Me

I know Des would agree with me in that I don't really like to adhere to popular choices that's why we try to personally handpick every detail for our wedding, even seemingly less important matters such as wedding songs. I guess I just like the idea that everything is personal. It helps create an impression that this event is unique and special - and indeed it is!

John Legend's All of Me is like the Kevin Durant of love songs and is now becoming the most popular choice to win MVP. While Christina Perri's A Thousand Years is still the reigning champ of weddings (I swear this song is played in every wedding I attended for the last two years!), With All of Me becoming a favorite my guess is it won't be long until it takes over.

I know I said I don't often adhere to popular choices, but this time I'll make the exception. If only to hear these lines. Just perfect.


What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawing me in, and you kicking me out
You've got my head spinning, no kidding, I can't pin you down
What's going on in that beautiful mind
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me, but I'll be alright

[Pre-Chorus:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

[Verse 2:]
How many times do I have to tell you
Even when you're crying you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing, in my head for you

[Pre-Chorus:]
My head's under water
But I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

[Bridge:]
Give me all of you
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

[Chorus:]
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginning
Even when I lose I'm winning
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh

  

Wedding Song: Treasure by Bruno Mars

Des was actually the one who suggested this. Picture our wedding entourage dancing to this song as they are introduced during the reception. Looks like a cool idea!

Wedding Song: Kiss Me Slowly by Parachute

There was once a time  in our relationship when we really got into this song. I first heard kiss me slowly sometime in 2012 back when our relationship looked more like a charade. We fought over the small stuff, mostly stemming from my lack of consideration to tell her what seemed to me are little things, but to her was a great big of a deal. Why am I not texting? What am I doing right now? Why am I not checking up on her? I constantly heard these questions and I felt like I was Chuck getting interrogated by the CIA and NSA. I was either sleeping, watching TV or glued at my PC so I didn't really know what the big fuss was.

Wedding Song: Sundo by Imago

Back in college, I had a friend who persistently courted our classmate for more than three years just to be her girlfriend. I really admire him for being patient and he really proved his worth to gain the trust of the girl's family. Not long after, I remember having a videoke session with them and the girl sang Imago's Sundo. That was when they announced they were officially a couple. I have since associated the song to them.

Wedding Song: Here, There and Everywhere by the Beatles

When I first heard of this song back when I was in college, the first thing I thought was how I want it to be my wedding song. I'm not the most romantic guy (as I'm sure Des would attest) but I had this Ted Mosby-ish idea back then to find "the one" to whom I will devote myself until forever. Now I am 27 and I'm not searching anymore. But if there's anything that did not change it is that I still want this to be part of my wedding songs. Even McCartney lists it as one of his favorites.

Wedding Song: Say It Again by Marie Digby

Found another wedding song! We were dining in Ambers with a couple of friends when this song played on the background music. I couldn't hear it clearly that time but when I searched for it I really like the melody and the sweet voice of Marie Digby. Also, I haven't heard it played on anyone's wedding yet so that's a major factor for me.

Wedding Song: Ever After by Bonnie Bailey

I want our wedding to be memorable and perfect that's why I am listing down all the good songs we can use on our wedding. I'm happy I stumbled on this Bonnie Bailey song a few days ago in the radio. The kind of beat in this music is not normally used on weddings, but the lyrics of the song just nailed it. I don't really know anything about final fantasy but somehow I associate the song with the characters there.
