Irving Berlin
An Old-Fashioned Wedding
[FRANK]
We'll have an old-fashioned wedding
Blessed in the good old-fashioned way
I'll vow to love you forever
You'll vow to love and honor and obey

Somewhere in some little chapel
Someday when orange blossoms bloom
We'll have an old-fashioned wedding
A simple wedding for an old-fashioned bride and groom

[ANNIE]
I wanna wedding in a big church with bridesmaids and flower girls
A lot of ushers in tailcoats, reporters, and photographers
A ceremony with a bishop who will tie the knot and say
"Do you agree to love and honor?"
Lovе and honor, yes, but not obey

I wanna wedding ring surroundеd by diamonds in platinum
A big reception at the Waldorf with champagne and caviar
I wanna wedding like the Vanderbilts have
Ev'rything big, not small
If I can't have that kind of a wedding
I don't wanna get married at all
