So in keeping with my tradition of forecasting my anniversary blog post, last year I said I would post about what our song is. I must be running out of topics relating to me and Jay or something because I have no idea what our song is. I don't even know if we have one. I'm not sure why I would have decided on that for my topic for this year. I asked Jay what he thought our song was and he broke out with a (pretty spectacular) rendition of Macy Gray "I try to say goodbye". It's not as 'mean' as that sounds though; about 11 years ago, we went on a trip to Spain together. That song was pretty popular at the time and we must have heard it a million times. I joked that it was our song and apparently he still remembers. Seriously, of all the things he has chosen to remember from our dating history... Our first song we danced to at our wedding (and consequently the last song we have EVER danced to since it turns out Jay hates to dance) was "Love of My Life" by Michael W Smith. If I could choose our first (and only) dance again, I think I'd choose something by Bon Jovi. Maybe "I'll Be There For You". We've been on a LOT of road trips over the years and 80's 'rock' bands seem to be one of the few music choices we can agree on.
I tried watching my wedding video to see if there were some songs on there that I clearly picked due to their sentimental value, but as it turns out there weren't. I am, however, very surprised by a few things on my video. First, the video quality is HORRIBLE. HD Video really is a great thing. Second, I got married in January, and there was no snow that year as well. Third, I am really surprised at how young everyone looks! Not that you all look old now... And finally, it reminded me that I LOVED my wedding. I loved planning it, I loved my dress, I loved the ceremony, I loved having all my best friends in my wedding (who by the way are STILL my best friends), I loved the music (awesome Carolyn, Chaz and Becca!), and I loved having a big fun reception and a limo. And I really loved wasting a lot of people's entire day to be a part of it (thank you all so much by the way for coming!). Seriously, one of the best days of my life, I'd do it again in a heartbeat (with the above mentioned Bon Jovi changes). And after 9 years, it makes me so happy and I feel so BLESSED to have such an awesome husband, marriage and family!
For anyone who does not remember, here's a clip from it:
If any of you have a song, what is it and how did you pick it? And for next year......... which by the way will be 10 YEARS!!! What has been my favorite date?
