"There's a time in life for Hoagy Carmichael. There's a time in life for Claude Debussy. There's a time in life for Jerry Lee Lewis. There's a time in life for Destiny's Child. All these things have their moment." ~Elvis Costello

Whether you’ve attended several weddings, have planned a wedding, or just like to scroll through aesthetically pleasing wedding photos and decor, I’m almost certain you’ve come across something and thought, absolutely not. Recently, I asked members of the BuzzFeed Community what their wedding icks are, and some of them are hot takes. Here are the things people really don’t like to see at a wedding:
1. “Please, for goodness sake, stop shoving cake in your partner’s face. It’s tacky and just disrespectful when they take it too far.”
2. “I hate the confusing dress codes — from Italian chic to dressy casual to cocktail wear (‘but cowboy boots are welcome!’). I also think asking people to conform to a dress code that likely requires them to buy a new outfit, in addition to accommodations and gifts, is too much. People have no idea how much this can impact their guests!”
3. “The dollar dance. It’s tacky and demeaning.”

“Dance the Night Away” is a song by Van Halen, and written by its group members. It is the second song from their 1979 album Van Halen II. While the rest of the songs from this album had existed in various forms since their days doing demos and playing clubs, this song was possibly the only song written during the recording sessions for the album.
The band members conceived the song during the recording sessions while they were standing in a circle humming to each other. It was inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s “Go Your Own Way”. Eddie Van Halen purposely left a guitar solo out of the final version of the song, replacing it instead with a riff of tap harmonics. David Lee Roth originally wanted to call the song “Dance, Lolita, Dance”, but Eddie Van Halen convinced him that “Dance the Night Away” was more suitable and the chorus was changed to reflect that.
Roth claimed, during a 2006 performance in San Diego, California, that he wrote this song in tribute to an intoxicated woman who was having sex in the back of a truck and ran with her pants on backwards while escaping police officers into the bar where the fledgling band was playing. This was also mentioned at a 2006 performance in Detroit, Michigan.
