Flashback
One of my closest friends is getting married in a few weeks. But sadly, I will be on my trip to South Korea and Japan and will miss the wedding entirely (really, really, sorry you guys…that’s what you get for only giving me a months notice shesh). However, I’ve been trying to do my part in getting together with the girls to help with the wedding logistics that I can assist with before I leave.
Typically (at least I would like to think so), wedding logistics are something the bride and groom discuss and decide on to make the day special for both of them. But in this case, the groom doesn’t want to have anything to do with the actual details of the wedding and is leaving everything up to the bride. Haha. To each his own, I guess. So to keep the bride from completely losing her mind, the girls of the wedding party have stepped up and are helping her shoulder the responsibility of planning the wedding and working out the logistics.
Anyway, one of the tasks that I am assigned to help with is compiling the playlist of songs for the wedding ceremony, reception, and after party dance portion of the evening. So last night (the first of many playlist meetings, I’m sure) we all got together and were looking through some old cds, browsing through youtube videos, and doing random searches for songs to add to the list. And oh my goodness…hahaha. It was one of the best, most entertaining nights that I’ve enjoyed in awhile.
In addition to the typical wedding type music you hear, the bride wants to add a lot of those older songs that we grew up listening to as part of her wedding playlist…you know, those embarrassing boy band songs that us, girls, used to swoon to back in the day? Haha. You remember those songs, right? The songs of 98 Degrees, Backstreet Boys, and Nsync…Hahaha. Well, I know I remember those. I mean, I think I still have a lot of my old cds laying around somewhere. But anyway, I had such an awesome time looking through those old cds and then looking up the videos on youtube. Hahaha. OMG. Can I just say that a lot of those songs bring back some very awesome memories for me from back in the day? I’ve linked a few of the videos from the songs that were added to the playlist…and included some of my random comments on my flashbacks. Watching the music videos can be quite entertaining, I must say.
I Do (Cherish You) by 98 Degrees – A romantic song from the past (although not my favorite) and, I guess, appropriate for a wedding. Haha. What the heck did we know back then about the feelings you were suppose to have when you got married? This song was the closest thing that we could relate to, I’m sure.
I Want It That Way by Backstreet Boys – I totally remember when this song came out. I cut class the day the cd was released and went to the mall with my friends to pick it up. Oh, and when the music video premiered on MTV, I think I cut class for that too. Haha.
God Must Have Spent A Little More Time On You by Nsync – This song was THE song back in the day. I swear, anywhere you’d go on campus, you’d hear this song. The girls went crazy for it. I’m pretty sure this song was on repeat in most of the cars that I used to ride in because we loved it so much. And I hate to admit it, but I still kinda like this song. But…don’t tell anyone.
And for a bonus track, here is one of my favorite songs: I Want You Back by Nsync. Classic stuff. I love this song and the video is killer funny now that I look back on it.
Anyway…good times. Hahaha. Very, very good times. :-)
