I was reminded of why I loved the Wedding Singer so much tonight.

It must have been at least the 3rd 4th time that I've seen the movie on tv since I first caught it in the cinema way back when I was still in secondary school.

I'm a diehard romantic at heart, I guess.

How, may I ask, can any girl resist its perennial theme of love and romance that is captured so poignantly in the show?

My favourite scene in the movie happens towards the ending, when the character Billy Idol (the rock star) poses as the captain making an in-flight announcement to the plane's passengers.

Every time I watch that scene, I'll repeat the lines after him.

Especially: ".. and since we pretty much let our first-class passengers do whatever they want, here he is.."

Enter Adam Sandler with his crooning:


- "Grow Old With You" -

I wanna make you smile whenever you're sad
Carry you around when your arthritis is bad
All I wanna do is grow old with you.
I'll get your medicine when your tummy aches build you a fire if the furnace breaks
Oh it could be so nice, growin old with you.

I'll miss you, kiss you, give you my coat when you are cold.
Need you, feed you, I'll even let you hold the remote control.
So let me do the dishes in the kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you've had too much to drink.
Oh I could be the man to grow old with you.

I wanna grow old with you.


Which girl in her right mind won't say yes to a guy who came up with such a song for her?

Not me.

Not anybody.
