Wedding Songs
When I needed a much needed distraction from deadlines, deposits and decision making, I found myself listening to the radio for lyrical inspiration. For me, deciding on my wedding music was very important. I wanted all of the traditional dances (i.e. 1st and last dance, Mother/Son dance, Father/Daughter dance, Bridal Party dance, etc.) to have meaning for everyone.
Back in the day....that would be 12 years ago...I didn't have access to resources such as www.wednet.com where I could turn for ideas and information while I was planning my wedding. Had I known about Wednet I most certainly would have read about reception music and other wedding songs as well as a plethora of other wedding related tidbits and advice. Had I known about Wednet I would have listened to and fallen in love with "This Ring, " by Tony Carter. Tony originally wrote this song for his brother's wedding, but was inspired by what he would want to say to his own bride (he was single at the time). You can read the story behind the song and listen to a snippet on our website at http://www.wednet.com/articles/tcartermusic.aspx.
Another beautiful song, which was written by a mother for her son, is "I'll Always Be Your Mother," by Lynn Leonti. This song celebrates the Mother/Son relationship while blessing his marriage and the new chapter in her son's life. This song resonates with me as I am the mother of two sons...who knows I may find myself dancing to this song in the future...the very distant future. You can hear a bit of the song and read about the inspiration behind it at http://www.wednet.com/articles/mother_son_wedding_song.aspx.
So, sit down, relax, listen and enjoy.
Take care!
