Mamma Mia!

I finally got to watch "Mamma Mia," and I hate to say it, but I really enjoyed it. There were cheesy moments of course, but the music was fun, and the characters were funny. Not all of the singing was great, but at least a lot of the visuals of the movie were beautiful. It is definitely hard to make Greece ugly. I honestly didn't know what the movie was going to be about. I only knew it was a musical with ABBA songs. But I'm watching these people prepare for a wedding, and the Mom's name just happens to be Donna. I was just shocked and amused because Meryl Streep is so kookie. So I thought this was a sign. This was going to be it. I will find our wedding song here. I watched the entire film with that in mind. I even replayed some of the musical selections over again after I was done, and to my chagrin, I couldn't find it. Some of the songs were fun and great like "Dancing Queen," "Lay All Your Love On Me," and "Take a Chance On Me." But it didn't really represent Paul and me which in my mind is important. No matter, I had fun watching this film, and I was inspired! So the search goes on! Come on song come to me!

Have you listened to John Legend? He's got so many good love songs and he plays the piano too! I can recommend a few and you can see if it fits with what you're looking for!
