Old Fashioned Wedding [Irving Berlin]

Frank:

We’ll have an old fashioned wedding

Blessed in the good old fashioned way

I’ll vow to love you forever

You’ll vow to love and honour and obey

Somewhere in some little chapel

Someday when orange blossoms bloom

We’ll have an old fashioned wedding

An simple wedding for an

Old-fashioned bride and groom

Annie:

I want a wedding in a big church

With bridesmaids and flower girls

A lot of ushers in tailcoats,

Reporters, and photographers

A ceremony with a bishop

who will tie the not and say

Do you agree to love and honour,

Love and honour yes, but not obey

I want a wedding ring surrounded

By diamonds and platinum

A big reception at the Waldorf

With Champaign and caviar

I want a wedding like the Vanderbilt’s had

Everything big not small

If I can’t have that kind of a wedding

I don’t want to be married at all.
