First Dance Song Troubles....

Glenn and I don't have a "typical" dating story, we did not see each other in a crowded room, connect, people parted ways and we danced into the sunset. Nope, Glenn asked me out no less than 17 times, would call my big sister to find out where we were and what we were doing, would show up at coffee shops (which, I learned later, he HATES coffee) and come to events that we were attending. I have to give it to him, he is persistent! I didn't want to date him, I didn't really want a boyfriend, I am not good with boys, I am awkward and I wanted to conquer the world on my own... my big sister on the other hand, wanted something different for me. I am honestly not sure how Glenn and I started this "dating" thing. He would call me to go to dinner, I would refuse. So we don't have a first date spot, a funny awkward moment of me falling into his arms and more importantly...WE DON'T HAVE "OUR SONG"!!

This part of the whole "we don't have a typical dating story" has been stressing me out! What will we dance to? Sure, we have songs that remind us of a sorority function or a graduation party, but I truly don't think Usher's "Let it Burn" is an appropriate song for the most important day of our life. So my task has been to find our song, a song that touches us, that makes us think of one another, that inspires us to be better people. I will sit at my dining room table for hours on end YouTubing videos and lyrics, I will send these to him and his response is that these are not "our songs", but songs that you have been googling (true, but what am I to do???)

Yesterday we went to another venue to check out where we will celebrate our love ( haha, I love these types of sayings on websites), on our way home we were determined to find a song that suits us.  The best place to turn was country, we needed a song with enough sap that people will cry, but not "overly dramatic". The first song to play was, "History in the Making" by Darius Rucker. I, of course, cried while listening to the song, Glenn thought it was okay. The next song was "Drunk on You" by Luke Bryan, well, wouldn't you know it, I was crying again, telling Glenn how it was currently summertime and Luke was singing about summertime...needless to say we changed the channel to 101 The Beat Jams and called it a day.

I think this first dance song is going to be WAY more complicated than anticipated. I foresee a compilation of songs from 1947 until now that speak to us. I hope I am walking in Kroger one day and hear a song that touches me and I sit in an aisle and call Glenn and say, "this is it" (Kroger has the BEST music, I once asked if it was from a CD we could buy, I was given a quizzical stare, so I assume not).

Until next time, "Let it Burn"!
