Pina Coladas

I'm getting married and I have
a dress that looks like it just walked off a Vera Wang runway
and I rented a tent for my reception.
Can you believe that? I'm getting married in a giant white tent.
And I have these amazing shoes that I bought for $500
and I thought, what the hell? It's for my wedding anyway.

But that's the thing that bothers me the most.
When I was with you, I would have gladly followed you
to the nearest beach
and you would get one of your buddies to officiate
and I'd wear a sarong and flip flops
and we'd drink pina coladas all day long
And we'd kiss in the shadow of mango trees.

But you broke my heart
and I'm marrying someone that isn't you.
And I'm going to have the wedding that
I've never dreamed of.
I'm going to wear a gown that's too big
with shoes that are too expensive
under a tent with too much flowers.

And we're serving champagne
because who the hell wants to drink pina coladas at a wedding?

Well I did.
And so did you..
