While a lot of songs that have to do with marriage end up being ballads, “I Do” by Colbie Caillat is an upbeat, happy song that captures the joy of realising that you are with the person you want to spend your life with. The acoustic arrangement, the shuffling beat, and the vocals floating along like they are propelled on a gentle ocean breeze make it a very sweet song and perfect for a wedding! It could be used anywhere, the processional, the recessional, first dance, in the wedding video…
I Do
It’s always been about me myself and I
I thought relationships were nothing but a waste of time
I never wanted to be anybody’s other half
I was happy staying out of love that wouldn’t last
That was the only way I knew ’til I met you
You make we wanna say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Yeah, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Cause every time before it’s been like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I can live without it, I can let it go
Ooh what did I get myself into
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
Tell me is it only me, do you feel the same
You know me well enough to know that I’m not playing games
I promise I won’t turn around and I won’t let you down
You can trust I’ve never felt it like I feel it now
Baby there’s nothing, there’s nothing we can’t get through
So can we say
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Cause every time before it’s been like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won’t live without it, I won’t let it go
What more can I get myself into
You make we wanna say
Me, a family, a house, a family
Ooh, can we be a family
And when I’m eighty years old I’m sitting next to you
And we’ll remember when we said
I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Oh baby, I do, I do, I do, do do do do do do do
Cause every time before it’s been like
Maybe yes and maybe no
I won’t live without it, I won’t let us go
Just look at what we got ourselves into
You make we wanna say I do, I do, I do, I do, I do, I do
Love you
This will be our background music for our wedding SDE. 🙂
