The Dance!

I absolutely adore weddings! 

 

 So much joy, laughter, tears, memories, hope...all wrapped up in one day! 

 

 I love watching the little flower girls walk down the aisle.

  The dapper ring bearer as he cautiously carries the pillow.

  The nervous groom as he awaits his bride.

 The protective Father as he releases his cherished daughter into an other's hands.

 And of course the bride...oh the beautiful bride!

 

 

And what is more dreamy than watching the couple have their first dance as "one"?

 

 I also love the sentiment of the Father/Daughter dance.  For some, the bride has known her whole life what song will play as she dances those final steps with her Daddy ~ Butterfly Kisses anyone?

 

 

For the Mother/Son dance, Brandon and I chose a song that has meaning that only those closest to us would understand!
{Until Now...}

 

She packed my bags last night, pre-flight
Zero hour, nine a.m.
And I'm gonna be high as a kite by then

I miss the Earth so much, I miss my wife
It's lonely out in space
On such a timeless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time ‘til touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone


Mars ain't the kind of place to raise your kids
In fact it's cold as hell
And there's no one there to raise them if you did

And all this science, I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A rocket man, a rocket man

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time ‘til touch down brings me round again to find I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no, no, no, I'm a rocket man
Rocket man, burning out his fuse up here alone

And I think it's gonna be a long, long time...

 

One crazy night, after putting Tristen to bed, Ken and I were doing dishes in the kitchen and listening to the radio.  A remake  {by Kate Bush} of this song came on and a debate began over what she was singing...why would a woman be singing she's a Rocket Man!  Well, having loved the song during my childhood, I pointed out that it wasn't her original.  And, as conversations go, I said, "You wanna' bet?"  Not one to back down from a challenge, Ken replied, "Yeah, what do you want to bet?"  To which I replied, "A baby!"  Being fully sure of himself, or maybe actually realizing he would lose, Ken said, "You're on!"

 

Ken called the radio station...and, yes, we were on the air...I don't think the DJ had ever expected such a wild conversation that night! Best bet I've ever made!

 

 

 

The rest is history!
