Will people think our wedding song is cheesy? Should I care?

No official wedding song discussion yet, but we have been together for almost 7 years and our songis NSync's "This I promise you." ( I know, I know...but in our defense, we started dating when we were 17!) That is pretty much the only song we think of as our special song. But how corny will people think it is if that is our wedding song?





Should we use the song because it really means something to us and has been our song for so long, or should we start searching for a new song that might seem more "acceptable"? I know it's our wedding and we shouldn't care what people think, but I also don't want everyone to make fun of us! What do you think?

Will people think our wedding song is cheesy? Should I care?
Your defense is so cute!!!!!





I say, go for it. Chances are most people at the wedding will remember the song and remember how cute they were in HS. Totally adorable and not cheesy at all.





It will be refreshing and fun and a breeze of fresh air after hearing the tired standard wedding songs over and over again: At last, butterfly kisses, From this moment on etc. etc,. etc. that is played on every single wedding.





Go for it and enjoy!!! It's not corny at all, it's so SOOOO cute!!!!!





Congrats
Reply:Well, will you look back in 20 years and say:"Man that's a cheesy song, what was I thinking!"?





If no, go for it!





If yes, reconsider.





Do remember that a song by a boy band IS somewhat juvenile. It is up to you if you want to focus on your past or your future. I can't say if people will make fun of you for your song choice (likely not), but you might want to consider your options.





In the end, it likely won't matter much. In fact, I cannot recall ONE single First Dance song for any wedding I've attended. So do what you want, but make sure you won't regret your choice. Once you do it, it's done.
Reply:It's your day and it is your song, use it! and swear on the rest
Reply:I would use the song, it has meaning for you. Noone should make fun of you.
Reply:I think its fine... and like you said, you shouldnt care what people think... look, people are gonna talk either way, if you're too convervative because you're conservative, if you're too liberal, because you're too liberal... hey you could have 50 Cent playing in the background and people still can't say crap because its NOT their wedding, ITS ALL ABOUT YOU! Congrats! Have a nice day!
Reply:I don't think any one will think its cheesy, if anything before the DJ plays it have him put in an anouncement about why that is your wedding song (i.e. first dance, first kiss, or whatever reason). And to make you feel better I believe my ex and I had you beat on the cheesy song try: Savage Garden "I knew I loved you".
Reply:If that's your song, it's your song. It's your wedding, the people are there for you. It's your day.
Reply:I think it's way better to have a song that means something to you. Who cares about the other junk, besides it quite romantic.
Reply:If thats the song that means something to the both of you use it. Its your wedding your memories don't go around always worrying about what other people will think. Its about you 2 and your love for each other.


BTY Congrats
Reply:haha yes its a corny song but use it if YOU want to dont worry about what other people think -u never get anywhere if u do! :)
Reply:No! Its not cheesy...and you shouldnt care what others think! Its not THEIR wedding its YOURS! So do what means the most to you!
Reply:I really don't think people would make fun of you. I mean, this is your friends and family, right? Not strangers. If that is what you think of as your special song, then use it. Anybody who makes a comment about it won't say it to your face anyway, so who cares? When the married couple is dancing together for the first time, the audience is pretty much focused on the couple and the love between them, not the actual song they picked. Good luck!
Reply:Definately have the song that you guys want. It will mean more to you..and if people htink it's cheesy so what. You have to be true to yourself; your wedding is about what you both want.





I bet they have cheesy songs they like too!
Reply:If you guys both like it then it shouldn't matter when it comes to what other people think. Do what you want to do. Its YOUR big day, not anyone elses.
Reply:It's your day! I think it's a great idea to use a song that has special meaning to the 2 of you! Who cares if no one else like's it...they can sit through it one time, it won't kill them!
Reply:It's your wedding, you have the right to choose whatever song you want! Go for it =)
Reply:Perhaps some may think it's cheesy. No, you shouldn't care, it's your day. Yes, use the song because it only matters that you two like it and that it has special meaning.
Reply:It's cheesy but you shouldn't care
Reply:i think you should use whatever song you really want because it is your wedding and hopefully your only wedding so make it mean something to you and your hubby to be and dont worry what others think its your day not theirs congrats hope everything works out for you

Think about it, who do you invite to your wedding? The people you like and love right? You only love them because they respect you or they're special to you, so they will love the song just like they love you.





Please don't worry about it. It's your wedding, be happy :)





I hope everything goes well.
Reply:I think that will be a good song for a wedding. And it is your wedding as long as you both agree don't worry what other ppl think.
Reply:Ours was Love and Marriage the theme song from Married with Children- We got a few chuckles but that was it!


I think it's a great orginal song!!


And we walked into Barbie Girl!
Reply:The point of the first dance song is for it to have importance to the bride and groom. My husband and I chose our song from the first concert that we went to together. Josh Groban - You Are Loved. If your song means something to you then that is what is important.
Reply:You should definitely announce it before it comes on- otherwise you will look silly.


Say like: 'When we met we were 17 and ......'


Just say how it's your wedding song and might be cute
Reply:it means something to the two of you, and it's your wedding. don't care what other people think.
Reply:Just have your DJ introduce it with something like, "OK, it's time for the bride and groom's first dance...this one should bring back memories - it was a hot song when they met 7 years ago and it means a lot to them..." That should take care of any major giggling.
Reply:Can I just say that that if I heard someone play that song at there wedding I would smile/laugh--and I really mean that in a good way. I hate how people go with the trendiest song out at the time of their wedding, instead of playing something with meaning. It's your wedding, that is your song, and there is nothing unacceptable about it.





Plus, everyone could use some boy band music every now and then!
Reply:Are you really sure you are ready for marriage? I mean, what song you consider to be "your song" seems pretty unimportant in the overall scheme of things.





I would advise you to focus more of your attention on the marriage rather than the event of the wedding. It will be over so fast that your head will spin. I can hardly remember my wedding - it went so fast. We went through so much stress for what turned out to be meaningless things; matches, napkins, invitations, music, food, cake styles, dress, flowers and the like. Even if you pick the best song ever, and everyone thinks you are so very cool because of it, it will not make your marriage good or bad.





A month after the wedding, nobody will remember what song was "your song." Pick what you like and move on.
Reply:It's your wedding. Who cares what other people think?
Reply:Who cares what other people think. It's your wedding. I recently got married and our song was either gonna be an NSync song or a Jonas brother song and we picked "When I look you in the eyes" Jonas brothers. And It was amazing.... when we were announced we came into SexyBack and It was a hit... people wanna have fun at weddings, we went with 50% Traditional and 50% our style. ..... I was amazing. Do what makes you two happy .. If that is YOUR song, then you choice is made... Nsync it is :)





Congrats!!!
Reply:Use your song. It will give his friends something to give him crap about.
