My 30th wedding anniversary is on August 16th of this year. Ya, I know! Pretty amazing. I love my husband passionately most days. I would marry him again, no question. But on occasion, he drives me crazy! For instance...we are currently renegotiating 'our song'. Or at least, I am. I don't recall ever agreeing to the one Brent says is ours. Who in their right mind would choose a song that begins with the lyrics, "Babe, I'm leavin. I must be on my way " ? Seriously.
Yes, we listened to Styx a lot that first year of marriage. Sitting in our cozy, little apartment. Gazing into each other's eyes. I like the song. It is romantic, I guess. Except some guy is leaving and the girl is left behind. Yes, he says he loves her (a few times). But does that make it our song? Who said? Why does Brent get to choose?
I like Tim (McGraw) and Faith's (Hill) song "It's Your Love". Here are some of the words;
No one is leaving the other. They are simply expressing their love. There are others I would choose... IF Mr. No Way Is That Our Song Stubborn Man would even discuss it with me. So, as of now, we don't have a song. Pretty sad, huh? Especially since that big anniversary is right around the corner. I hope Brent doesn't hire a band to sing "Babe, I'm Leavin..." to me!

You crack me up! How about "Leaving on a Jet Plane" or "Love Stinks"? Come to think of it...Brandon and I don't really have a song. He says it's "Cowboy, Take Me Away" by the Dixie Chicks. At least in that one, the girl goes WITH the cowboy!
Tami- I love your blog...you need to add on to your profile that you are a grandma too! Rommel and I don't really have a song either...just a few that we both like (which doesn't happen too often.)
