so, i've decided i can't do the wedding thing by myself. well, of course, i need the love of my life for the actual wedding to take place but... i can't plan it by myself. so i've solicited the help of my mother, my friend melissa — yes that's her real name and yes that's my name too and yes we both know that. (i don't know why people get such a kick out of that. we've been friends since high school, and we get the same reaction every time. my mom's best friend's name is the same as my mom's. i don't think they get that reaction, but anyway i digress). so i've asked for help and they've been wonderful. however, i've decided to solicit some "professional" help as well because i don't want my family and friends doing a bunch of work on the day of my wedding.
the point of my post? so, the love of my life and i went to meet with a wedding planner last night. (yep he wants to be involved in the planning, i told you he was wonderful). we met for about 1.5 hours and this lady seems like she's going to be really reasonable, affordable and listen to what i want. what i want is a simple and affordable wedding. and i hope it happens by next may. i'll just have to keep in mind the goal — to get married. sure, i want to look good, i don't want it to rain, i want the photographer to show up on time and everyone to have a nice time. but at the end of the day the most important thing is to be married, and i'm just trying to stay focused on that.
so, does anyone have any ideas for a nice wedding song? and no, i'm not playing "it's the end of the world," stephanie!! :-)

I believe any man that is brave enough to take part in planning a wedding should have a wedding some dedicated to him (LOL).” HE IS" by Brand not Heather Headily (I still to this day do not see why she got more spin with her version) is a nice wedding song. If not the wedding song it could be a dedication from you to him. "MY LIFE IS IN YOUR HANDS" by Kirk Franklin is a nice song to play when you walk back down the aisle together.

Why do people think us having the same name is so weird? It is a very common name. It's not like we are both named Aurelia.

Your loss. It's a wonderful song.
I'm a fan of Marc Cohen's True Companion if not It's The End Of The World As We Know It

Lyrics:
Baby I've been searching like everybody else.
Can't say nothing different about myself.
Sometimes I'm an angel, And sometimes I'm cruel,
And when it comes to love, I'm just another fool.
Yes I'll climb a mountain, I'm gonna swim the sea.
There ain't no act of God, girl, could keep you safe from me.
My arms are reaching out, out across this canyon
I'm asking you to be my true companion,
True companion, true companion
So don't you dare and try to walk away.
I've got my heart set on our wedding day.
I've got this vision of a girl in white,
Made my decision that it's you all right.
And when I take your hand, I'll watch my heart set sail.
I'll take my trembling fingers, and I'll lift up your veil.
Then I'll take you home, and with wild abandon,
Make love to you just like a true companion,
You are my true companion,
I got a true companion, true companion
When the years have done irreparable harm,
I can see us walking slowly arm in arm
Just like that couple on the corner do.
'Cause girl I will always be in love with you.
And when I look in your eyes, I'll still see that spark.
Until the shadows fall, until the room grows dark.
Then when I leave this Earth, I'll be with the angels standin'.
I'll be out there waiting for my true companion,
True companion, true companion.

Or Diamond Rio's I Know How The RIver Feels. Those lyrics:
They say for everyone, there’s that certain one
Out there, somewhere
I’d been looking hard, searching every heart
Getting nowhere
Didn’t know I was making my way to you
Now I know how the river feels
When it reaches the sea
And finally finds the place
It was always meant to be
Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey’s through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels
Miles of loneliness, now make perfect sense
Here beside you
Tears like water fall, it was worth it all
Just to find you
And yours are the last arms I’ll run to
Now I know how the river feels
When it reaches the sea
And finally finds the place
It was always meant to be
Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey’s through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels
Holding fast, home at last
Knowing the journey’s through
Lying here with you
I know how the river feels
Oh, I know how the river feels
