Hey little sister what have you done?
Hey little sister who’s the only one?
Hey little sister who’s your superman?
Hey little sister who’s the one you want?
Hey little sister shot gun!
It’s a nice day to start again.
It’s a nice day for a white wedding.
It’s a nice day to start again.
When two amazing people find each other; somewhere in the world, there is just a little more happiness.
Understand, there are so many pathways, so many twists and turns to our lives. So many choices that could lead us down long dark roads, or if we are very lucky to the destination we have always dreamed we’d find.
There is no absolute way of knowing if our choices are right until the end. And by then, it is a little too late.
So why not take that uncertain journey with the one person you love? That way, no matter where you end up, your affection for each other will make you feel like you are home.
After being around them for only a short time, I have no doubts that together, is where these two were always meant to be.
Two wonderful people destined to create their own happiness no matter where they roam.
More than a year earlier, Carl and I got to know the groom at one of our shows as we hit it off right away. Being from Germany, his appreciation of our music was evident as we talked about the musical influences that interacted between the two musically different countries.
That appreciation evolved into him asking us if we would entertain at his wedding. We were honored.
We have actually done many weddings over the years. In fact, we played them regularly for about ten years, early on with The Boys.
Weddings are quite interesting, to be sure.
I find that they are a microcosm of what can be expected of their lives together. Couples that share in the details and effort, usually share in the details and effort of their marriage; to their eventual benefit.
While at the other end of the spectrum, you see the groom drunk, showing off and hanging with his buddies, foretelling of his casual involvement in the relationship that is already doomed.
What Carl and I observed on this joyous day was a strong man and woman, working together to make certain that everyone else at their wedding was have a wonderful time.
Everything they did was designed to create an atmosphere of happiness and enjoyment that laid the foundation of a future together of caring, sharing and contentment.
We knew from the onset that working with Rolf would be enjoyable. His management style was laid-back and casual, letting us do what we do best; entertain.
Already in full swing as we arrived to set up, there were family friends taking the role of DJ, charged with the important task of getting the party off the ground.
We could tell instantly how much fun it was going to be, as everyone we met was already immersed in the happy glow of nuptial bliss. Everywhere we looked, there were smiles and laughter, dancing and chatting. The good times had already begun for this lucky couple, while those they invited, were already basking in the residual “happiness effect” they exuded.
There was food aplenty. Delicate desserts, joyous alcohol and enough special touches and amenities that no one had even the remotest opportunity to not enjoy themselves.
We played some special wedding songs, and eventually turned things over to the boisterous DJs.
The dancing began to really take off.
In the end, weddings are all about the stars of the show; the bride and groom.
They alone are its only true measure of success or failure. We can attend and watch, play music or join right in the Conga line; but in the end, it won’t make a huge bit of difference.
Time is a great judge of compatibility. And love is the measure of all things lasting.
Today was a wonderful day for them both. A great day for a white wedding.
