Some songs evoke such strong memory from the listener that they vow to play the music at their birthday or wedding, or perhaps, they share it with their children and ask them to play it at their funeral.
But things sometimes go differently than planned, and one sometimes has to make changes. This is the dilemma for a woman in an online forum who we’ll call Jenny.
Jenny is about to get married to the love of her life, and they have picked the song they plan to use for their first dance: “Come What May” from the movie Moulin Rouge.
However, the problem is that they chose the same song her stepsister Ruth and her ex-husband Ralph call “their song.” It is also the same song they used on their wedding day.
Ruth is not comfortable with her sister choosing the same song. Her reason is that the song evokes many memories of her previous marriage to Ralph. So, she is requesting that Jenny change the music.
Jenny does not like that. It sounds ridiculous that someone else would ask her to change the song for her wedding dance. However, it was not just anyone, and Ruth had a reason.
