"Wesele" means "wedding", "weselej" means "more happily" (wesoło, weselej, najweselej = happily, happili-er, happili-est - as adverbs not adjectives).

(I'm pretty confident about it though, because pop music tends to gravitate to a certain vocabulary. Just as corazon is one of the first words one learns when listening to mexican radio, and сердце occurs often in russian, I assume I'll be hearing serce frequently, along with appropriate first and second person possessives, in disco polo...)
