I'm from another country and we do it in my native language so I also do it in English...
Me too

I believe so
I think it depends on how much emphasis you put on the "h" sound?

Meeting the man of my dreams, then meeting his beautiful wife.
A little too ironic, I really do think.

If it's in a social situation, like a party, they probably aren't sure if they've met you before and think it's more insulting to say "nice to meet you" to someone they have met than "nice to see you" to someone they haven't. That's actually a trick I picked up from my dad, and I do the same thing sometimes.

I hate irony.
Like rain on your wedding day?
There is nothing ironic about that. Just about every example used in the song completely lacked irony
Rain = lucky
But it's also a hassle on your wedding day, no?
Thus, ironic.

No. Ironic would be planning your wedding ceremony inside to avoid any inclement weather, and a freak plumbing accident floods your ceremony. Now, if the weather outside is beautiful, while your wedding guests are soaking wet inside, that is just sardonic.
So like a free ride when you have already paid?
The good advice you just didn't take?

Thank you, Saartre.
I hate this too! In many cases "it" can be changed, if you'd just do something about "it."
So I'm totally with you, except for the spelling of Sartre.
That was me...that was because I hit the 'A' too long, not general cluelessness about the spelling of Sartre. Or that I confused him with Kierkegaard.
