As you know, we are getting married on 6th May (Woooooop) and we can’t wait to see you there!!
What you probably all know is, we have invited the team from Music Wedding Videos to film everyone enjoying the day, singing, dancing and generally having a great time to a megamix of ‘Marry You’, ’24k Magic’ and ‘Uptown Funk’ by Bruno Mars.
Here are the songs we’ve chosen for you to get familiar with …
How this works is, the guys will be equipped with printed lyrics and speakers on the day; they’ll be looking for volunteers to sing along to a couple of lines from the track on camera. They’ll then turn the footage into a music video of the wedding day. Don’t worry too much about learning all the words as we mentioned they’ll have some printed on the day and after playing a short section of the song a couple of times you’ll soon pick it up.
You’ll have a few go’s at getting it right, and they’re pretty good at editing to make you look awesome. Your singing voice doesn’t matter either because they’re not going to use the audio – the real song will be played over the video footage of you singing along.
The lyrics are included at the bottom of the page
How up for it are you?
Mad for it!
OK, so you fancy yourself as a bit of a performer or a pop-star in another life?
Here’s what you can do:
- Watch the video
- Learn the lyrics
- Practice in front of the mirror
- Choreograph a dance routine
- Get together with some like-minded guests to do something as a group
We are looking for people to (willingly) come forward beforehand to be given specific lines to learn, and we will then forward everyone their own lyrics to perfect 🙂 If any of you do want to perform something special, please let us know or contact the MWV guys at info@musicweddingvideos.com so they can plan it into the shoot.
Happy to get involved on the day
Here’s what we recommend:
- Watch the video
- Try to learn at least one or two lines from the song
- Grab the MWV guys on the day and let them know you want to get involved
A little bit camera-shy
We realise some people either don’t feel super comfortable in front of cameras, especially video cameras. Don’t worry – the MWV guys are very sensitive to this and won’t force you to get involved if you don’t feel comfortable. But if it’s not too painful, we do hope you can at least give us a smile or a wave so that we can remember you on our special video. And remember – if it’s your singing voice you’re worried about, they don’t actually use that in the final video – you’re just miming along to the real song. Here’s what we recommend:
- Don’t worry too much about learning the lyrics
- On the day, see if you’re in the right mood. If not, just let the MWV guys know if you’d prefer to just be an ‘extra’ without performing, or if you don’t want to be in the video at all.
We think this is a really fun way to record and re-live our big day for years to come and hope you’ll all get involved in some way.
Still not sure how this works?
Here are a couple of examples of a finished video from previous weddings once they have been edited and effects have been put on…
So……..
- Glamorous couple – Check
- Beautiful Location – Check
- Awesome dancing and singing – that’s where you come in
Let’s make this a wedding video to remember!
Love
Annie and Martin

PPS Here are those lyrics…
MARRY YOU
It’s a beautiful night, we’re looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes, or is it this dancing juice
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you
Well I know this little chapel on the boulevard
We can go
No one will know
Oh c’mon girl
Who cares if we’re trashed
Got a pocket full of cash we can blow
Shots of Patron
And it’s on girl
Don’t say no no no no no
Just say yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
And we’ll go go go go go
If you’re ready, like I’m ready
‘Cause it’s a beautiful night, we’re looking for something dumb to do
Hey baby, I think I wanna marry you
Is it the look in your eyes or is it this dancing juice
Who cares baby, I think I wanna marry you
Players, put yo’ pinky rings up to the moon
Girls, what y’all trying to do?
Twenty four karat magic in the air
Head to toe so player
Look out uh
Pop pop, it’s show time (show time)
Show time (show time)
Guess who’s back again?
Oh they don’t know? (go on tell ’em)
Oh they don’t know? (go on tell ’em)
I bet they know soon as we walk in (showin’ up)
Wearing Cuban links (ya)
Designer minks (ya)
Inglewood’s finest shoes (whoop, whoop)
Don’t look too hard might hurt ya’self
Known to give the color red the blues
Oh shit, I’m a dangerous man with some money in my pocket (keep up)
So many pretty girls around me and they waking up the rocket (keep up)
Why you mad, fix ya face ain’t my fault y’all be jocking (keep up)
24K MAGIC

Put your pinky rings up to the moon
Girls, what y’all trying to do?
Twenty four karat magic in the air
Head to toe so player

Second verse for the hustlas (hustlas) gangstas (gangstas)
Bad bitches and ya ugly ass friends (haha)
Can I preach (uh oh) can I preach (uh oh)
I gotta show ’em how a pimp get it in
First, take your sip (sip), do your dip (dip)
Spend your money like money ain’t shit (whoop, whoop)
We too fresh
Got to blame in on Jesus
Hashtag blessed they ain’t ready for me
I’m a dangerous man with some money in my pocket (keep up)
So many pretty girls around me and they waking up the rocket (keep up)
Why you mad fix ya face ain’t my fault y’all be jocking (keep up)
Players only, come on
Put your pinky rings up to the moon

Twenty four karat magic in the air
Head to toe so player
