An Old Fashioned Wedding - Irving Berlin



Interpolated in 1966 revival]



[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 by a bishop who will tie the knot and say

"Do you agree to love and honor?" Love and honor, yes, but not obey



I wanna wedding ring surrounded 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



[Coda:]



[FRANK:]

We'll have an old-fashioned wedding



[ANNIE:]

If it's not a big wedding I don't wanna get married at all
