Wedding Song Lyrics

I am beginning to wonder whether anyone really listens to the words of a song anymore. Take music at weddings for example. I understand that different people interpret songs differently, and that sometimes people choose certain songs for their wedding because they want to make those songs part of their special day for whatever reason. That's understandable. However, I have been a guest at several [semi-traditional western-world Christian] weddings where critical moments of the wedding or reception featured pop songs that are clearly about breaking up or death, no ambiguity about it [song titles have been omitted to protect the innocent]. Yikes! I can't imagine for a moment that any of these folks would've done that if they really knew the lyrics.
