Andie and I went out to the hinterlands of Springfield, VA for a wedding of her friend. Pretty standard stuff, really… she said, he said, they swapped rings, cue the bagpipes, <a href=”http://youtube.com/watch?v=KU3N5c2Kxnw”>walk it out</a>!

And then there was the reception, wherein we were all received. The guests entered and were seated, and then the doors closed. A few minutes later, the doors to the reception hall swung open, and Black Sabbath’s Iron Man started blaring through the public address system. The DJ screamed, “Ladies and Gentlemen, get up out your seats and put your hands together for Mr. and Mrs. Clint Blankenship!”

Apparently, Clint is a huge wrestling fan.

Anyway, during dinner, the people at my table started playing a little game… name songs that would be the worst possible first wedding songs. Here is a partial list:

Garth Brooks - Thunder Rolls
The Police - Don’t Stand So Close to Me
Kanye West - Gold Digger
Holly and the Italians - Tell That Girl to Shut Up
Kelly Clarkson - Since U Been Gone
The Police - Wrapped Around My Finger
Garbage - Stupid Girl
Add your own.
