Etta James - At Last

Percy Sledge When a man loves a woman.

Marvin Gaye Let's get it on.

My stepdaughter sang this at our wedding in 2004.

We had some great music in our wedding mix, but some of my favorites:

This one was played as we left the minister after being married (a surprise to me by my love):

And our introduction to the dinner party as a married couple:

And our first dance song (We had a live band, and they did a great job with this one):

We had a wedding music mix, a cocktail hour mix, a dinner mix and then the live band after dinner. It was a magical afternoon/evening and I wouldn't change a thing,,other than maybe going back and doing it again!!!

It's irrelevant but I must share:

Song I NEVER will play at my wedding(if I liked them)

"All You Need Is Love"

As a professional singer, I sang probably over 1,000 weddings in my lifetime.......I sang some real crap. I sang very little real music.......from Purcell's "Sound the Trumpet" to "Good Ship Lollipop" (I kid You NOT!)...........

So I KNOW that if I ever get married, my music will NOT be what's "in" or "hot" or "on the charts". I will choose ~ HOPEfully with the help of my partner ~ something meaningful, unique and memorable. Mushy crap is not an option.

I know.
Surprise, surprise!

My dearly departed and I had the following in our wedding from a favorite movie of ours:

God Gave Me You
Bryan White

For all the times I felt cheated, I complained
You know how I love to complain
For all the wrongs I repeated, though I was to blame
I still cursed that rain
I didn't have a prayer, didn't have a clue
Then out of the blue

God gave me you to show me what's real
There's more to life than just how I feel
And all that I'm worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't know why
Now I do, 'cause God gave me you

For all the times I wore my self pity like a favorite shirt
All wrapped up in that hurt
For every glass I saw, I saw half empty
Now it overflows like a river through my soul
From every doubt I had, I'm finally free
I truly believe

God gave me you to show me what's real
There's more to life than just how I feel
And all that I'm worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't know why
Now I do, 'cause God gave me you

In your arms I'm someone new
With ever tender kiss from you
Oh must confess
I've been blessed

God gave me you to show me what's real
There's more to life than just how I feel
And all that I'm worth is right before my eyes
And all that I live for though I didn't know why (didn't know why)
Now I do (I finally do), 'cause God gave me you (God gave me You)

God gave me you

She got all the curves that man like...i am a lucky guy!!!!

If I ever get married...

...this would be the two I'd want.

I would want a somewhat traditional wedding ...somewhat...

with a definate flare for some rock.

on a beach in the Keys with all the kids, family and friends...group dance!!!

The song for my first dance was Etta James At Last.

Then for the last dance of the night I was lucky enough to have Mutt Lange first wife (before Shania Twain ;) Stevie Lange do a remix of Joe Cocker's You Are So Beautiful.

That was a looooong time ago. But nice to remember the memory one more time.
