I was reading a bridal magazine, and they listed some suggested songs for wedding receptions. For the first dance, one of the songs listed is "All I Want Is You", which we are planning on doing. However...for the cake cutting ceremony...they suggest "Sweetest Thing". Now, yeah..."sweet"..."cake"...how cute, and I know that the song was written by Bono for his wife, BUT...I wouldn't exactly call it a love song...it seems pretty bittersweet...here are the lyrics, as a reminder:
My love she throws me like a rubber ball
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
She won't catch me or break my fall
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
But in this I'm a rain cloud
You know she likes a dry kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you
Hey hey hey, I'm losing you yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing
I wanted to run but she made me crawl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Eternal fire, she turned me to straw
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
You know I got black eyes
But they burn so brightly for her
Mine is a blind kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
I'm losing you
Oh oh oh, I'm losing you yeah
Ain't love the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh, yeah
Blue-eyed boy meets a brown-eyed girl
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
You can sew it up but you still see the tear
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Baby's got blue skies up ahead
And in this I'm a rain cloud
You know we got a stormy kind of love
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing
Oh oh oh, the sweetest thing

That doesn't seem like a song I would want playing at a wedding. "stormy kind of love"..."she won't catch me or break my fall"..."I'm losing you"...I think guests would hear this and think, WTF??? Except maybe for Grandma cuz her hearing isn't that great.
What do you all think? Agree or disagree?

But you don't know the half of it..."
