    It's kind of an odd choice. I would choose something different. : (1 votes)

    This is a truly terrible song to play at a wedding. Under no circumstances... : (0 votes)

    Okay Bees I need your BRUTAL HONESTY here. I was listening to KLOVE on the radio today and "All of Me" by Matthew Hammit came on. He wrote it for his baby that was born with a broken heart and I was very touched by it. As someone who is a chronic worrier and usually lets fear of the future, etc. overshadow my decisions I thought this song might be a lovely way to say, "I love you and I'm going to stop letting fear run my life, esp. when it comes to us". So I thought about surprising my groom-to-be with it at our reception.

    BUT the more I thought about the lyrics the more I thought that instead of sounding sweet it might just sound sad or like I broke his heart or something awful. Thoughts?

    YouTube of the Song:

    Lyrics:

    Afraid to love Something that could break Could I move on If you were torn away? And I'm so close to what I can't control I can't give you half my heart And pray He makes you whole

    (Chorus) You're gonna have all of me You're gonna have all of me 'Cause you're worth every falling tear You're worth facing any fear You're gonna know all my love Even if it's not enough Enough to mend our broken hearts But giving you all of me is where I'll start

    I won't let sadness steal you from my arms I won't let pain keep you from my heart I'll trade the fear of all that I could lose For every moment I share with you

    Chorus

    Heaven brought you to this moment, it's too wonderful to speak You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me So let me recklessly love you, even if I bleed You're worth all of me, you're worth all of me

    Reading the liriks I think it can be alittle sad, but the tune doesn't come out sad at all. Maybe if I keep hearing it I'll find it sad but now I think it'll be cause you mentioned it.

    Anyway, keep in mind that if it's being heard by the first time and if it comes as a song dedicated to your groom it'll be romantic as hell, at hte end of the song he'll be just thinking in the "you're gonna have all of me" part and that's what matter IMO.

    As someone who listens to lyrics, I might wonder what you did to break his heart that the song would be dedicated to him, because there are a lot of lines about pain and heart ache. But if it is what YOU want then do it. And if you think your groom will like it. FWIW, I think there are some better romantic songs out there if you want to dedicate on to him though.
