The Realities of Miss Bethie

Our song...

The first time LAL told me he loved me, it was followed by the jingle for Frederick Roofing. (If you are from St. Louis, you know what jingle I mean...For a hole in your roof or a whole new roof...Frederick Roofing).
We laughed that it was our song.
We made other silly proclamations about what our song actually is, which has included Shakira's Hips Don't Lie and Kanye West's Gold Digger.

But after attending two weddings in two weeks, and much discussion about our own wedding has occurred. LAL, who anytime our wedding is mentioned says, "Its all you, Baby. Just tell me what I need to do."
Except for the song. He has a request.

He always wanted to play Genesis' "Follow You, Follow Me" at his wedding. It wasn't at his first wedding, because he didn't think it felt right for the two of them.
So, his heart is set on it, and they lyrics are sweet.

Stay with me,
My love I hope you'll always be
Right here by my side if
ever I need you
Oh my love

In your arms,
I feel so safe and so
secure
Everyday is such a perfect day to spend
Alone with you

I
will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights that we know will
be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in
each passing year

With the dark,
Oh I see so very clearly now
All my fears are drifting by me so slowly now
Fading away

I can
say
The night is long but you are here
Close at hand, oh I'm better for
the smile you give
And while I live

I will follow you will you
follow me
All the days and nights that we know will be
I will stay with
you will you stay with me
Just one single tear in each passing year there
will be

I will follow you will you follow me
All the days and nights
that we know will be
I will stay with you will you stay with me
Just one
single tear in each passing year...


But how the hell do you DANCE to this song?
He asks for so little, and gives so much, I HAVE to say yes.
And I am sure when that day comes, I will have tears of joy in my eyes and not care that I don't care for the song.

  • Only a suggestion....why don't you both find the perfect song to dance to as your first dance as husband and wife.
    And, then throughout the night this song could be from him to you, stating the way he feels about you. And, you can find the song that fits the way you feel about him.
    So, three seperate songs.
    One together. One from him to you. And you from you to him. They don't need to be all done one right after the other.
