Instead of a traditional speech The Boy’s Best Man showcased his musical talent. Very sweet. And luckily for me (and him) very easy to recount what he said, no speech recreation and memory straining required.
Of course he opened with some nice words about how happy he was for us. But mostly I just remember the singing and how different and lovely it was.
Good memory.
Boy’s BFF Paul debated long and hard about what song to choose and how/when to do it. He considered some Tragically Hip options, but our favourites that are within his range, are about war or the death of a child. Not really the most wedding-y. So instead, he surprised us.
The Cranberries – Dreaming my Dreams.
Here’s the video:
And here’s the lyrics:
All the things you said to me today,
Change my perspective in every way.
These things count to mean so much to me,
Into my faith, you and your baby.
It’s out there. It’s out there.
It’s out there. If you want me I’ll be here.
[X2]
I’ll be dreaming my dreams with you.
I’ll be dreaming my dreams with you.
And there’s no other place,
That I’d lay down my face.
I’ll be dreaming my dreams with you.
It’s out there. It’s out there.
It’s out there. If you want me I’ll be here…
[X2]
I’ll be dreaming my dreams with you.
I’ll be dreaming my dreams with you.
And there’s no other place,
That I’d lay down my face.
I’ll be dreaming my dreams with you.
Dreaming my dreams with you.
I’ll be dreaming my dreams with you.
And there’s no other place,
That I’d lay down my face.
I’ll be dreaming my dreams with you.
Still loving that line – And there’s no other place, that I’d lay down my face. I’ll be dreaming my dreams with you. – Beeee-u-ti-ful.
Thanks BFF Paul for sharing your music skills and making our day just that much more special.
Can’t get enough of this LONG wedding recap? Well, you’re in luck – I’ve just counted the number of weeks to our one year anniversary and decided, this can’t go on forever. So, I need to move a little more quickly (I knew those skipped weeks were going to come back and bite me). So starting this week – double Wedding Wednesdays posts. Come on back this afternoon – for a few words from The Boy’s parents!
