Of wedding songs

Last Saturday I was at a couple of friends' wedding (for the second time in my life, I went to a wedding where I knew both the bride and the groom). They had a group of singers on the stage, and as the evening drew to a close, they were singing Beautiful Sunday (Daniel Boone, 1972 - I just found out these details via Google). This was followed by Sha La La (Dreamhouse, 1997 / The Walkers, 1973 - also from Google research). I was pleasantly surprised to hear these songs, which we seldom hear these days. And also, usually at weddings we hear a lot of ballads, but seldom these upbeat love songs.

But after Sha La La, they had to go and ruin it by continuing with Bruno Mars' Marry You. It is one of the worst songs for a wedding, because the lyrics go
It's a beautiful night,
We're looking for something dumb to do.
Hey baby,
I think I wanna marry you.

Like a friend mentioned before, how on earth is a girl supposed to feel flattered when marrying her is qualified as "something dumb to do"?

And later he continues with
If we wake up and you wanna break up that's cool.
No, I won't blame you;
It was fun, girl.

Er... would you actually say that on your wedding?

By the way, I'm not the only one who says that this song is unsuitable for weddings; I once read an article by a wedding singer (or was it a wedding planner?) that listed out several popular wedding songs which had unsuitable lyrics. And this was in the list.

Well, let's listen to the good songs, shall we? (links are above, videos embedded below)
