A Fine Day for a Wedding
I’m feeling a bit under the weather today. The old flu bug has finally caught up with the PSG. I used to pride myself on rarely getting sick. Well, so much for that.
One bright spot from the past few days…Sheryl and I attended a wedding last Saturday (March 18th.) It was the marriage of our friends Christopher and LeAnn. We got to know them through our activities in the Cocoa Beach Area Chamber of Commerce, and Christopher became one of our clients when Sheryl designed his Website.
The ceremony was held outdoors at the Veterans Memorial Park in Merritt Island, with the Banana River providing a picturesque backdrop.
At the reception, Chris wanted to make the traditional “first dance” with his bride something truly special, so he donned a wireless headset mic and sang the song “Too Marvelous for Words” to his new bride while they danced. It was one of the most romantic things Sheryl and I had ever seen. It went off without a hitch, too.
I would have done something like that at our wedding reception, except for three reasons:
1. I couldn’t sing (at least not 25 years ago).
2. I couldn’t dance (but I’m still willing to learn!)
3. I didn’t think of it. (I just wanted to get through the wedding without falling down, messing up my lines, knocking over the cake, etc.)
In addition, I’m not sure that wireless headset mics had been invented yet. If they had been, they wouldn’t have looked nearly as cool as the one Christopher wore.
The entire ceremony was expertly captured on video by Complete Music and Video, but none of the footage will ever show up on “AFV” (America’s Funniest Home Videos”) since nothing went wrong. No falling wedding cake, no dancers tripping up, no embarrassing toasts, and no wrestling match fought for the bridal bouquet.
Congratulations, Christopher and LeAnn, and our best wishes for a long and happy life together.
“Too Marvelous for Words”
Lyrics by: Johnny Mercer
Music by: Richard Whiting
You're just too marvelous
Too marvelous for words
Like glorious, glamorous
And that old standby amorous
It's all too wonderful
I'll never find the words
That say enough, tell enough
I mean they just aren't swell enough
You're much too much, and just too very very
To ever be, in Webster's dictionary
And so, I'm borrowing a love song from the birds
To tell you that you're marvelous
Too marvelous for words
It may be a cliché, but they just don’t write ‘em like that anymore!

Ok, Mr. PSG...
What song are you planning on singing to your better half on your Silver celebration? We know you can sing!!! Don't be shy! That's a great question...What song would you (the PSG's reading audience) choose to sing if you were in that situation? How about "Wild Thing" by the Troggs.
Not going for that one, huh?
