I received a CD I’d ordered from Amazon.com last night - Weird Al’s Polka Party. On it, he has a gem of a country-tune called ‘Good Enough for Now’.
“You’re Sort of Everything I Ever Wanted…/
You’re not perfect, but I love you anyhow…/
You’re the woman that I’ve always dreamed of…/
Well, not really… but you’re good enough for now.”
The gal that I marry, assuming I marry, would be the sort that, if surprised at the wedding reception with that tune, would share a good laugh with me.
Unless you’re a gambling man, the wedding reception is not the time to try that theory out, regardless of how perfect someone for you is. Now…if you play that for her in the car on the way to the hotel after the reception, that’s different…but don’t pull that crap at the reception or you’ll probably not only get knocked on your ass, but everyone there will not think it’s funny…even if you both laugh. There’s a time and a place…
A good friend of mine played, “I was only kidding” by Weird Al at his wedding reception. He got her out on the dance floor and made like it was going to be a romantic love song, then started jamming and head-banging to it when the tone changed.
She didn’t kill him and they are still married today so I think they were a good match.
