Romance is in the Air

With our 25th anniversary only 19 days away I've been thinking about the day we got married, April 30th, 1983. I found our audio cassette from our wedding and was trying to figure out if there was a way I could have it converted to a CD since it's hard to find any cassette players anymore. I tried talking to Ritz Camera and Radio Shack with no good solutions and then thought to go online and see if I could find something...and I did! I read the website thoroghly and then called them today during my lunch. They assured me there would be plenty of time for them to do it and mail it back to me. I placed my order online and will mail it out tomorrow from the post office the quickest way there is...Fed-ex. I'm so thrilled as my mother-in-law sang two songs for our wedding and I wrote a song and sang it for our wedding. Over the past month I found the words to the wedding song I wrote along with the song I wrote for our first and tenth anniversaries. And of course I wrote a special poem for our 25th anniversary, which I'm putting in the card that I made especially for Alan. Yes, I'm a romanticist...and so is he. I'll share with you the words to all the songs.

Our Wedding Song

Now we walk along hand in hand
Along the seashore, in the sand.
The rustling waters echo our love
And the angels sing from above.

As we look into each other’s eyes
Our vows are said and now no one can deny
That our love is and forever will be
True and lasting for eternity

Now we’ve been joined together publicly
Even though we’ve said our vows alone faithfully
The brooks are rustling by us so quietly
As night falls upon us so peacefully

Our love is and forever will be, true and lasting for eternity.


Yours For Eternity
(First Anniversary Song)

I am yours for eternity to walk proud by your side
We’ve a love so very special; love like ours will never die
We’ve had to be apart for too long a time
Yet I knew in my heart that you were mine
Take my hand and hold me tight
Let’s remember this special night.

I am yours for eternity through both the good times and the bad
We’ve a love so very special, even though riches we have not had
You’re my knight in shining armor
Who’s always known when to rescue me
I’m your maiden so true and loyal
Well sail along the crystal sea.

I am yours for eternity to walk proud by your side
We’ve a love so very special; love like ours will never die.


One Love Shared By Two
(Tenth Anniversary Song)

One love that is shared by two will be
Everlasting when that love’s real
One love that is shared by two will be
Everlasting when it’s true love.

Like a flower that blooms
After winter is gone
So our love has grown all through the years.

One love that is shared by two will be
Everlasting when that love’s real
Everlasting when it’s true love

*(Note: the words to this song were inspired by the words on our wedding announcements that read, One Love, Shared by Two)

I'll share the words that I wrote for our 25th anniversary on April 30th so be looking for it!
