Music is the Food of Love

Sunday's are a not so fun weekend for Mishka and me. I have to work from 5pm - 11pm so no romantic dinners, going out and about in the city often has to be time conscious, and by the time we can get together in the evening we're usually too tired to do anything out of the ordinary.

Or can ordinary end up being... not so ordinary ;) ?

Last night Mishka and I turned on Beauty and the Beast, and I can't tell you how much fun we had. Mishka and I both have a deep love of musicals (in fact, they'll probably be playing a part in our reception decorations, but more on that later), and know the words to just about every song. So of course, we were compelled to sing!

So there we were, late in the evening, belting out "Bonjour, Bonjour!" to each other with absolutely no shame. And, I have to say, that despite the love story between Beauty and Beast, Mishka and I much prefer the interchanges between Belle and Gaston. Much more fun :). We even ended up switching over to some youtube videos of the Broadway songs just to prolong the experience (particularly Gaston's song "Me!" and "The Maison de Lune" (Mishka's two favorite songs from the musical I think).


So now I'm tempted to go through all the Disney Classics with Mishka, cracking jokes and singing along. Because "dinner and a movie" doesn't have to be cliche if you don't let it.
