If you came to my wedding then I must apologize that I did not include my ceremony songs on the program. I had the choice to increase the cost of my program by adding a fold, removing the names of all the people that were by my side to make the day possible, removing the thank you message from Matt & I to everyone that attended, or cut the list of songs. So I chose to cut the list of songs.
Until this exact moment you had not realized how much this impacted your life the last 5 years. Kidding. I'm very aware it has not impacted your life at all other than the fact that you might have missed out on knowing of a lovely song. Despite the fact that the ceremony music was all instrumental- I took great care in the song selection for melody as well as meaning.
Matt is from Madison, Mississippi and I am from Madison, Alabama and somehow we met in the small town of Paducah, Kentucky. Our "theme" for the wedding was "Home is wherever I'm with you." The song I chose to walk down the aisle to seemed to be a pretty great reflection of this sentiment and of marriage in general. Now don't worry. I like to share encouragement, wisdom and even humor through this outlet, but I'm not here to share marriage advice with you today. But since it is the "month of love" and since I love leaving you with a song each time I post, I thought I could make up for leaving you in the dark 5 years ago by sharing one of my favorite songs out of all of our carefully and specially selected songs for our wedding day.
Follow Me, John Denver
It's by far the hardest thing I've ever done,
to be so in love with you and so alone.
Follow me where I go, what I do, who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me.
Follow me up and down,
All the way and all around
Take my hand and say you'll follow me.
It's long been on my mind,
You know it's been a long, long time,
I've tried to find the way that I can make you understand
The way I feel about you,
And just how much I need you
To be there where I can talk to you
When there's no one else around.
Follow me where I go, what I do, who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me.
Follow me up and down,
All the way and all around,
Take my hand ad say you'll follow me.
You see I'd like to share my life with you
And show you things I've seen,
Places that I'm going to
Places where I've been
To have you there beside me
To never be alone
And all that time that you're with me,
We will be at home
Follow me where I go, what I do, who I know
Make it part of you to be a part of me,
Follow me up and down,
All the way....
Take my hand and I will follow you.
