Jason Mraz is probably my absolute favourite artist at the moment. His songs are so emotionally honest, beautifully sung and (often) very funny. Love Is Real is not funny, but it is highly suitable for a first dance:

Love is real it is not just in novels or the movies
It is fact and it is standing here right in front of you
So if you just open your eyes, oh what a sweet discovery
There is hope, and there is joy and there is acceptance

I can’t actually find it on iTunes, but there is a cute video on YouTube (!).

Originality: 10

Tears-from-your-Mum Factor: 8

Inappropriate song of the week: You Oughta Know by Alanis Morissette
