You know you have been married for awhile when the #1 song in the US on your wedding day was One Sweet Day - Mariah Carey with Boyz II Men.

No we did not dance to it! :lol:

Day I got married> The Boy is Mine by Brandi and Monica - but I do remember Shaun Mullins' Lullaby most, not to mention Mambo no. 5 by Lou Bega - those 2 ditties will always remind me of "Dorothy, we're not in Naples anymore..." 8)
ETA> Thanks, Moonstone, for the cheerup: but I think the shock of seeing Perez Prado no. 1 on the day I was born is irredeemable :cry:

Lil' T -- we do have a connection. The Boy is Mine by Brandi and Monica was #1 on the day that Bry and I had our first conversation!

The day we eloped -- Believe by Cher (I can live with that)
Our "Big Wedding" day -- Livin La Vida Loca by Ricky Martin (HaHaHa!)

Number 1 on my Birthday -- Brother Louie by Stories (I have no idea)

Ok. I get
Mary Hopkin - Those were the days for the uk
US and AUS - Hey Jude. I'm more Hard Day's Night, but I can live with that.

My kid brother gets saddled with 'Long Haired Lover from Liverpool', which I may tell him in order to win a stupid sibling row in years to come.

Someone asked about 'Two Little Boys'. A tale of two young lads growing up together, getting sent to war together, and looking after each other. It is cheesy, but it chokes me up, despite myself - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmL3m2zcoOI.

UK: "Ms. Grace" - The Tymes
US: "Please Mr. Postman" - The Carpenters

In other words,

US: Antiseptic cover my mother probably loved.
AU: Never heard of.
