Although most Lebanese weddings play host to a bunch of cliché Arabic songs, there are certain English songs that have become way too common during the ceremony.
From the classics to more modern music, these 7 English songs seriously need to be cut out of Lebanese weddings.
1. Sway – Dean Martin
This song always comes on when tuning it down to get people ready for the buffet or while guests are waiting for the bride and groom to make an appearance. Although it's a classic, it's way too overplayed.
2. Hello – Lionel Richie
Yes, there is a "HELLO" that makes it into weddings more than Adele's hit ever will.
3. Everything – Michael Bublé
OK, we all know how good Bublé is in getting the romance started. But, considering how many times this song is heard in weddings, it seriously has no emotional appeal whatsoever anymore.
4. All of me – John Legend
This was released not too long ago, but it has already made cemented its place in Lebanese weddings. But, khalas. The radio killed it enough, no need for weddings to add to the damage.
5. Single Ladies – Beyonce
This is the one song that has to come on when the bride wants to throw her bouquet of flowers, calling on the single ladies to join in on the (fun?).
6. Endless love – Lionel Richie
Yup, I'm not buying Richie's romance.
7. Hero – Enrique Iglesias
Oh my god. The worst part is when the couple decides to slow dance to this song. There's so many other options. Really.
