I sang at a wedding where the bride was originally determined to have me
sing "Mon coeur s'ouvre a ta voix". Out of context, I guess this wouldn't
be *that* goofy, but I just couldn't get the operatic context out of my
mind. Finally, the groom put his foot down - not because he had a clue
about the aria, but because he didn't want anything that wasn't in English
(she was French Swiss, he American - the wedding was here in America).
