The song was Edwin McCain's "I Could Not Ask For More", a song
which I had never heard of before Gin played it for me in Ann Arbor... but dammit, it
seemed to fit us SO well. Of course, there were two things that went wrong during
the ceremony: 1) The DJ played the wrong song when we came out and we had
to chastise him — "I Could Not Ask For More" is a slow, sweet number and he
was playing one of the fast and funky songs. I'm not opposed to fast songs, but
having our wedding dance be a variation on "Love Rollercoaster" just strikes me
as being a bit odd.
2) The DJ had four martinis, got plastered, didn't play a one of the songs we had
requested previously, and then stole our CD at the end of the night. My mother is
getting it back. Still, he was competent even sloshed and we didn't mind the songs
he DID play. It just wasn't what we were expecting, was all.... |

Gini doesn't care for this shot. I don't know why, but I do.
To me, it's just every bit of hugging we did that day -- close and on the shoulders, on
the verge of happy tears. This, more than any other shot, reminds me of what it was
like to be in her arms. For the edification of those not in the know, here are the
lyrics, c 1999 Edwin McCain:
Lying here with you / Listening to the rain / Smiling
just to see the smile upon your face...
These are the moments I thank God that I'm alive / These are the moments / that
I'll remember all my life...
I found all I've waited for / And I could not ask for more |
 |
Looking in your eyes / Seeing all I need / Everything you are is
everything to me.... These are the moments that I know heaven must
exist / These are the moments I know all I need is this
I have all I've waited for / And I could not ask for more
I could not ask for more than this time together / I could not ask for more
than this time with you / Every prayer has been answered / Every dream I have's come
true / And right here in this moment is right where I'm meant to be / Here with
you.... here with me
I could not ask for more than the love you give me... 'cause it's all I've
waited for...
And I could not ask for more.
I really couldn't. Note the crying mother in the foreground. This amuses
me. I actually didn't see anyone crying at the wedding, but I wasn't looking at
them, either. (g)

Naturally, we hammed it up for the crowd with a couple of dips — and
no, we weren't the dips. I generally dislike dancing because I feel like an eejit,
but Gin shares my lack of embarassment, so it works out. One of the things we've
done for our wedding gifts (thanks, Inet pals and the Silvermine Tavern!) is to take about
$120 and put them aside for swing dancing lessons when we're together. I really,
really am looking forward to that. |

Last shot. I promise. Okay? (g) |
