So, Iron & Wine redid "Flightless Bird, American Mouth" for the wedding scene in Breaking Dawn. Yeah they get married, everyone has seen the trailer, so you know they get married, and the books came out forever ago, so I don't care if I've spoiled you. No one reading my blog is gonna cry about learning Twilight info anyway, so, really chances of being spoiled here? not likely. If you read the Title and saw Twilight and are still reading? I applaud you. So, let me also tell you they have their honeymoon in space and turns out Bella is actually an alien and she never needs to be turned into a vampire because she is a rare strain of Alien that ages only to 18 and then lives forever and then grows sparkly skin too.
Hopefully you turn into a 17 year old idiotic girl like I do when reading (watching? you should read.) them. So, I have no shame, I loved the Twilight Saga, it was awesome and dramatic and it was what every 17 year girl wanted, 2 boys fighting over her claiming eternal love. We were all brainwashed since birth by Disney movies to want Prince Charming, and Edward and Jacob are both charming in a sense. (read the books, btw they are better.) And come on, she never had to do homework, she just had to focus on boys! no homework, ftw!
But that is not my point. I am bringing up the song. So, when the producers or whoever decided to have them dance to this song at Prom, this now became a love song for tweens and Twihards everywhere. But, in my opinion, which I can express freely, cause this is my blog (yay!) is that this is NOT a love song. Listen to the lyrics. It is sad song. Anything but lovely. If a boy dedicated this to me, I would be like. Wow, either you love Twilight or you don't like me, LIKE THAT.
And now they are walking down the isle to it?
Don't be Bella. Don't walk down the isle with a smooth talking vampire who sparkles if he picks this song as your wedding song.
Details people, details.
I'm still going to the midnight showing of Breaking Dawn Part 1 on Thursday. And I will have popcorn. And I will be like AAEHEHEHEHAAAAHHHHHH HAHAHAaaa wooo! >.<
I am guilty of using that song in my wedding :-) I know it's not really a happy love song but it sounds sooo pretty!!! To my credit I did not walk down the aisle to it or use it in the ceremony at all and it was not our first dance. It was just the opening song for dancing for everyone. :-)
