Does marriage scare you as much as it does me?

holding hands.jpgDay 12: A song that you want played at your wedding

This is a difficult one for me, because I don't like to think that far ahead.  I honestly have never stopped to think of any songs I would like played at my wedding until this specific moment.  And now that I think about it, I can't think of any.

A song I think is romantic and pretty, even though I don't listen to much country music, is One Boy, One Girl by Collin Raye.  I think it's cute.  I love it.  I would most likely want that song to be played at my wedding.  Click here to see a cheesy nineties music video of the song.  I'll post the lyrics below.  Cry your heart out. :)


One Boy, One Girl

He finally gave in to his friend's girlfriend,
When she said, "There's someone you should meet."
At a crowded restaurant way cross town,
He waited impatiently.
When she walked in, their eyes met,
And they both stared.
Right there and then,
Everyone else disappeared,

But one boy, one girl,
Two hearts beating wildly.
To put it mildly, it was love at first sight.
He smiled, she smiled, and they knew right away:
This was the day they'd been waiting for all their lives.
For a moment, the whole world
Revolved around one boy and one girl.

In no time at all, they were standing there
In the front of a little church.
Among their friends and family,
Repeating those sacred words.
The preacher said, "Son, kiss your bride."
And he raised her veil.
Like the night they met,
Time just stood still, for

Chorus

He was holding her hand when the doctor looked up and grinned.
"Congratulations, twins."

Chorus

Now tell me that isn't adorable!

I love the color of my blouse, which is the main reason why I bought it.  The dark green shade turn my eyes a bright green.  See the picture to the bottom right?  Yes, that's my real eye color (although with a different shirt on a different day...).  However, the blouse wasn't super comfortable.  I had to wear a cami underneath it to stay modest, but it tended to ride up and be too short on my long torso (thank goodness for the cami), as you can see in the picture.  I had to constantly pull it down over my hips.  One thing I do love about this shirt, however, is the fact that it isn't clingy or form fitting.  I also loved the stitching on the blouse.  You can see the picture below.

FabricA cami is a cami.  I prefer Aeropostale's the best.  The only thing about this simple white cami is that it starts to fall low and I jeanseyehave to check every so often to make sure I don't need to pull it up.  I have a long torso, so I like the length of Aeropostale's camis most of all.

I loved the fading on my jeans.  They came in "short", so I didn't have to get them hemmed.  They weren't too long for me.  They're a little "low riding", but other than that, they were comfortable.  I liked their color as well.

My shoes are new.  I love their style, but I wasn't thrilled with how they fit.  As the day dragged on, they tended to cram my toes and the sides of my foot into the front of the shoe.  I've heard they're like that at first until they stretch, so I hope my new Rocket Dogs become more comfortable than they are now.  They're super cute, if that means anything.

Overall, I thought this outfit was cute, but it wasn't the most comfortable.  I preferred yesterday's outfit a little more.
