25 days until our wedding!

I can't believe only 25 days until the big day! Still feels like a year away! Only a week and a half until our bachelor/bachelorette party in Vegas!

Don't read this if you want to be surprised by music choices at our wedding.


My fiance does not like country music. I on the other hand think country music is one of the few music generes where you have the freedom to tell a story. Hubby and I never had "a song" while we were dating. I always knew we should have one since I was hoping and praying to marry this boy. Once he finally proposed and started talking about wedding details I played a few first couples dance song choices for him. My first choice was "My best friend" by Tim Mcgraw. We are each other's best friends even though some tabloids suggest that is why Jen and Brad broke up. I also love this song because we danced to it at his cousin's wedding. I don't remember any of the songs we skated to when I decided I did want to date him. But I remember dancing to that song. He vetoed it. The second choice was "Look after you" by The Fray. I love The Fray and that song was my ringtone for when my fiance called me for a long time. He vetoed it. My third choice was a song I thought would be good for a first couples dance. I shared it with one of my friends while we were commuting to student teaching and she had thought the same thing when she bought the cd. She is actually one of the people that convinced me we should dance to "My best friend" cause people thought it was more Curtis and I. When I played "Steady as we go" by Dave Matthews Band, my fiance said that he liked that song. So here are the lyrics to our couples first dance song:

I'd walk half way around the world
Just to sit down by your side
And I would do most anything girl
To be the apple of your eye
But troubles they may come and go
But good times they're the gold
And if this road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go
Any place you wanna go
Know I'll be next to you
If it's treasure, baby, you're looking for
I'll search the whole world through
Know troubles they may come and go
But good times they're the gold
So if the road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go
When the storm comes
You shelter me
And I don't say a word
And you know exactly what I mean
In the darkest times
You shine on me
You set me free
And keep me steady as we go
So if your heart rings dry my love
I will fill your cup
And if your load gets heavy girl
I will lift you up
But troubles they may come and go
But good times be the gold
So if the road gets rocky girl
Just steady as we go
Ah, hold me
Shine on me
Oh, shine, shine, shine
Shine on me baby

I love every word in this song and it is completely true to our past, present, and future love story. 25 days!!!!
