Olly Murs hilariously chimes in after groom shares list of banned wedding songs

A groom-to-be took to social media to share a list of banned songs at his upcoming wedding - prompting one pop star to rule his music out of the occasion

Everyone has their own unique taste in music when it comes to wedding celebrations.

Choosing the first dance song or curating a playlist for the DJ to get guests grooving on the dance floor is a task most of us undertake at some point. However, one future groom has decided to share his musical choices ahead of time, insisting that certain popular hits won't be played on his big day.

Clearly irked by Oasis' recent media attention, the groom's first rule was to exclude any songs by the Gallagher brothers. He listed several other songs - many of which are typical wedding favourites - including Robbie Williams' Angels, The Killers' Mr Brightside, and Neil Diamond's Sweet Caroline.

Queen, Black Eyed Peas and Kings of Leon also fell foul of the groom's musical preferences as he took to social media asking for more suggestions: "I need more suggestions please help Twitter x."

Pop star Olly Murs, who shot to fame on X Factor in 2009, quickly joined in the fun by humorously banning his own songs from the event. The celebrity quipped: "Anything by Olly Murs." This prompted the groom to jokingly reply: "I'll allow Troublemaker at my wedding - that's an absolute banger."

The list sparked a heated debate among other X users, with some people strongly disagreeing with the groom's choices. One person wrote: "These are the only songs I want played at my wedding," while another commented: "People who think they're too edgy for popular songs are not as cool as they think they are."

A third user criticised the decision to exclude certain songs, adding: "I'm sorry but Brightside is a certified banger and guaranteed dance floor filler. Have fun with the dull wedding I guess."

On the other hand, some users defended the groom's taste, explaining: "When I was planning my wedding, I had an idea that we would let family and friends perform songs because a lot of them are musicians. My ex, being a mutual friend, offered to play Wonderwall at the wedding. That's why she's an ex."

Another user wrote in agreement: "I love this list. These are the same songs that people MURDER at karaoke bars and I hate all of them now." And a third X user concurred: "I started reading this expecting to be like 'wow this guy just hates fun' but I actually agree with every single one of these."
