In planning our wedding, my fiancé and I keep discovering that we have different expectations of what a wedding is like. Most recently, it’s on the issue of time-of-day. I’ve always gone to weddings...
I've seen threads for this before, but haven't found them very helpful. What I'm looking for are songs that don't have references to breaking up, other lovers, things like "this time". There's a few...
