I CANNOT even begin to tell you how cool it was that so many people were really into our post about Stevie last week and great first dance wedding songs!
We got so many awesome suggestions, that I wanted to post again, with your suggestions and a couple of others that have come up over here...Actually, I get your comments to my blackberry, so Mayra and I were driving around this weekend and we'd get a song, and then it started us playing all those games of "Oooh, what about....BLAH BLAH BLAH." Anyway, somewhere between New Jersey and New York, we got into a PRETTY HEATED debate about the appropriateness of Shalamar, For the Lover in You. "This is for the lover in you, this ring means I'll always be true, This is, how we'll start love anew, This Time it's gonna last forever....." I think it's a great song for a couple who maybe had some bumps in the road and is ready to really commit. Mayra thinks you should not dance to a song that continually uses the word LOVER to describe the person..... Please weigh in, I managed to find the video, but I don't want anyone to get in trouble at work.... So, here is the link if you are open to checking it ou (OH, Shalamar, only in the early 80's could a look like this say "hotness") Below, the Video, and below that the suggestions you sent to us (THANK YOU!)
