The cottage smells of paint, winnie still has yelliw stains on her face and I've missed a bit under the radiator!, but most of the paining is finished, which is great for tomorrow I have an appointment with the wedding registrar to go over the wedding...........
Chris told me to " be neat" when I go......
"You don't want to think that we are riff raff" he said raising one Roger Moore eyebrow!
We are having one piece of music during the service......which is " our tune"......
It had to be a film theme..did it not?
This is it

Who else has an "our song"
And what is it?
sigh.........lovely.
ReplyDeletemoon river - a sweet tune indeed.
ReplyDeleteOne of my absolutely favorite songs from a film. Nice choice my good man. Nice choice.
ReplyDeleteIt means something special because when we were courting , we danced to moon river, pissed in my dining room!
DeleteI love your choice! Beautiful. So romantic.
ReplyDeleteWe have, "Home" by Edward Sharp and the Magnetic Zeros. http://youtu.be/DHEOF_rcND8
I love your name Wasn't there a character in the GRAPES OF WRATH called shoshanah? X
DeleteYou may be thinking of "Rose of Sharon", the Joad's daughter..
DeleteAnn in Canada
One of the girls in 'Girls' is called Shoshanah, I think it's a lovely name.
DeleteI would have thought that 'Who Let The Dogs Out' would have been more suitable.
ReplyDeleteWhat is yours and HI song thomas?
DeleteIt used to be anything by the Velvet Underground, but these days we are rather partial to a bit of Jimmy Shand.
DeleteJimmy Shand (and his band) once made a record called 'The Jimmy Shand Experience', around the same time as Hendrix made his. Style...
DeleteI will youtube him.......right now
DeleteSpent many a Hogmanay dancing into the wee sma' hours to the strains of Jimmy Shand and His Band!
DeleteDoes he wear a fair isle sweater?
DeleteIt's not obligatory to wear Fair Isle anything, toss a caber or wear a sporran if Scotland is your homeland. LOL x
DeleteOur song is 'Black' by Pearl Jam, a song about unrequited/absent love which isn't exactly romantic I guess
ReplyDeleteBut it means something to you both x
Deletesigh...
ReplyDeleteThe x and I didn't have a song.
How wonderful that you and Chris do.
Love the song.
cheers, parsnip
Gayle xx
DeleteI've always liked that piece.
ReplyDeleteOur favourite film John, a very good choice. Our song is 'Kiss from a Rose' by Seal.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lovely one too
DeleteImportant to have a song. The one you've chosen is so lovely. Our is the Pogues: "Fairytail of New York" I dunno...you had to be there. X
ReplyDeleteDolly Parton & Kenny Rogers 'Islands in the stream'. It was released the year we met, 1983.

ReplyDeleteThat clip was beautiful. I haven't seen Breakfast At Tiffany's yet :P
ReplyDeleteFor me to have an "Our song", there needs to be an "Our" ;)
One of my oldtime favourites, John! Good pick!
ReplyDeleteOur song is 'Midnight Train to Georgia' by Gladys Knight and the Pips.
Not only did we have a" tune" but our tune was the same "Moon River" except we were married in 1966 and moved to Widnes England after our marriage. We lived in Widnes and my husband was stationed in Burtonwood. I have just joined this blog and am looking forward to reading yours! Good luck on your wedding.
ReplyDeleteMy parents were dating when they saw a movie about the composer Sigmund Romberg; One of the songs in the movie became "their song". "When I Grow Too Old To Dream".
ReplyDeleteThere won't be a dry eye in the house, wish we could all be there.
ReplyDeleteI was a freshman in college the year the movie came out. If I'd had a boyfriend then, no doubt, that would have been the song. Saw it with dorm mates.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great pick, for any reason.
I don't want to miss a thing Aerosmith
ReplyDeleteHope you have a lovely day now remember be neat
Wishing you every happiness
Pattypan
Sweet.
ReplyDeleteLove,
Janie
I've always loved that song...brings tears to my eyes. I'm so happy for you and Chris.
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful song. They'll be weeping in the aisles!
ReplyDeleteGreat song!
ReplyDeleteOur song is "I knew I loved you" by savage garden.
This is one of my favourites but 'my' song is If You Leave Me Now by Chicago. Summer of 1976. It was a hot one!
ReplyDeleteI'm wondering if you're going to have this very tape played in the church, the Ms Hepburn version. You say this is the only music you're having? Pity 'cos I've been waiting to find out who was going to provide the swelling organ.
ReplyDeletedouble entendre or plain old voyeurism?
DeleteI've no idea what you're talking about, rhymes.... - but I trust it raised a chuckle.
DeleteI do love that song, and watching the clip was so lovely. I was quite lost in the moment watching the clip. John, are you and Chris going on a honeymoon? Xxx
ReplyDeleteVery nice song; very evocative.
ReplyDeleteOur song is What A Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong x
ReplyDeleteso dreamy x
ReplyDeleteYou are so romantic. When the Best Beloved and I got married, he arranged for his friend's band to play "There Goes My Everything" for our first dance! Absolutely clueless.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness, I have two versions of it on my current shop 'mix tape' (i.e. usb stick) and my brother is playing guitar on them both.
ReplyDeleteOur song is Sunshine in Leith by the Proclaimers. Our first dance, and on another mix tape - it comes on about 10.45am and we have a little waltz to it! (It is such a romantic song, except it starts: My heart was broken; sorrow!)
Our first dance at our wedding was to Nina Simone's Baby Just Cares For Me. Our taste in music rarely meets so this is as near as we get to 'our tune'.
ReplyDeleteGood choice of song John - lovely haunting melody
ReplyDelete'Our' Song is 'The Twelfth of Never' sung by Johnny Mathis of course. The number 12 has played a big part in our life right from the beginning in 1960 - nearly 55 years ago.
That's a wonderful choice John. 'Our Song' is 'feeling hot hot hot'! Off the plane and onto the dance floor for our honeymoon in St Lucia 27 years ago!
ReplyDeleteWe have two 'our songs'.
ReplyDelete1. Your Love Is Better Than Ice Cream - Sarah McLachlan
2. Sunshine On Leith - The Proclaimers
Yours is so much more romantic and classic!
Truly Madly Deeply, Savage Garden

ReplyDeleteMy first husband and I had 'our music' which was an obscure piece of early chamber music ( we both played early instruments) - the farmer and I have no such thing - 'our' song for a down to earth Yorkshire farmer is a bit much you know. That wedding is getting near - I have it writ large on my calendar by the computer - wish I could just sneak in the back on the big da.

ReplyDeleteWhat is a "Huckleberry friend"? Is Chris one? Perhaps you should have painted the kitchen "huckleberry friend" instead of "juniper blush" which if you on't mind me saying looks so gay!
ReplyDeleteWe have a song that we had played at our wedding, but I cannot for the life of me remember either what it was called or who sang it. Well it took me five years to remember the date of our wedding anniversary so what do you expect!!
ReplyDeleteYou and Chris couldn't have chosen a more lovely song for your wedding. We got married very quickly and never had a song. I wish we did.
ReplyDelete"Follow You,Follow Me" Genesis.
ReplyDeleteJane x
Harry Nilsson'; Without You
ReplyDeleteAmazed by Lonestar.......my husband sings it to me when we dance.
ReplyDeleteHere's a link if you'd care to listen.

I'm so happy to hear the joy in your words when you give us little tidbits of your wedding plans, you happiness is so evident when you write. xoxo
Aww John one of my very favourites. I used to sing it to Twiglet to get him off to sleep when he was a baby. Not sure if he enjoyed it but I did :)
ReplyDeleteTwiggy
It isn't really my sort of thing to have an 'our' song so we don't have one.
ReplyDeleteI have always loved this song.
ReplyDeleteTurtles...Happy Together. We had the theme song of Romeo and Juliet played on piano at our wedding. Some would think that would put a like curse on our union but we are both still together for forty-three years this June.
Lovely song, ours is Truly Madly Deeply by Savage Garden x
ReplyDeleteThe song we danced to at our reception was "(Reach Out) I'll Be There," by the Four Tops.
ReplyDeletehttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KnDm3qr1Knk
Moon River...sigh! Our song is "Every Time I Think of You". by The Baby's. 25 years this June 15...Love lives.
ReplyDeleteOur song is It Had to Be You from the soundtrack of When Harry Met Sally.
ReplyDeleteFab film.

Up town girl, Covered by the Backstreet boys (shame). It was the song my husband and I first snogged to in the Liverpool University Union Bar. Classy!!! He got my a copy of the original on LP which is framed in our living room for our anniversary.
