but I LIKE the snarky breakup songs...

My taste in music is really not wedding-compatible.


The reception venue asked us to write down our favourite artists, so they could get a good idea of what we like.

And I thought...
Pink. Except her music is kinda inappropriate for weddings.
Alanis Morrisette. ...even worse.
Taylor Swift! She writes romantic stuff! ...except the songs I like from her are all the snarky breakup songs.
Miranda Lambert! ...who writes about cheating on her multiple boyfriends.
Sunny Sweeney! ...whose best song is called "Drink Myself Single".
Sara Bareilles! ...who writes snarky refusals to write love songs.
Enimen! ...
...
...no. Just... no.


First acceptable artist I came up with was Billy Joel. *shrugs*

Ha! Pink would be OK, I think?

It sounds like you've come up with a fun parlour game, though. For when you're getting frustrated with wedding planning. Compiling the Worst Wedding Playlist! It'd be a bit like Captain Awkward's Sex Kryptonite game, but for weddings, not sex.

I can only imagine the difficulty my playlist would cause.

...all the ML songs I know involve fire or shotguns. Oh, and there's "Famous in a Small Town..."

Really I don't see the problem with any of those. Weddings and love are what we make them. Not that I've ever been to...more than one wedding...at/after which there may have been music, but I don't recall.

LOL It happens. Almost all my favorite songs are breakup songs or heartbroken songs or... yeah. I can sympathize.

Yeah, that's a good idea. (I love Captain Awkward and Sex Kryptonite.)
