"Who said that every wish
Would be heard and answered
When wished on the morning star
Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
Look what it's done so far"
For todays post I wanted to go over a few more songs featured in our wedding ceremony. In fact, these two were the beginning and ending tunes. First off is Rainbow Connection, better known as Kermit the Frog's song, but I wanted to share a different version today from one of my favorites.
I was fortunate to be friends with an excellent guitar player (who was also my guitar teacher for a few years) that agreed as a wedding gift to play during the ceremony. This was perfect as we were getting married outside. We gave him the list of songs we wanted and off we went. Rainbow was played as the flower girls came down the isle and I approached the alter. If you're curious, the song my wife walked out to was "Morning Has Broken" and we lit our unity candle to the hymn, "Just As I Am" (which we ended up not being able to light. Advice to other's that wish to do this..light the candle a few times before the big day!) Luckily, this event hasn't had an impact on our happiness. Finally, after the vows we walked back down the aisle as Husband and Wife to "Pure Imagination" from a different Willie, Willy Wonka aka Gene Wilder.
Oh yeah, posted above is the front cover of our wedding program I discussed in the last post. Aren't we cute? Feel free to borrow our idea if you decide to create your own programs. Speaking of borrowing, I have to admit we borrowed something in our ceremony from the Dog The Bounty Hunter wedding special. Like Beth, my wife's father passed away before our wedding so she wasn't sure how the "walk down the isle tradition" was going to go. Well, Dog and Beth came to the rescue. Beth walked down the aisle half way and then Dog went and met her and finished walking her the rest of the way. Perfect! In fact, I even had this inspirational couple's big day memorialized on a coffee mug a few years back (RIP Beth)
Ok so for todays horror pick I'm going with 1982's, Halloween III: Season of the Witch. Figured it was a good one to highlight as the "new" Halloween movie was just released. Over the years I've gained more appreciation for this one.(Tom Atkins is amazing as the lead) This flick confused the fans when released because Micheal Myers isn't featured. In fact, it's a whole unrelated story. Apparently, John Carpenter was hoping to get away from Mr. Myers and release a new scary Halloween story each year under the Halloween moniker. I'm sure his bank account is happy part 4 and beyond went back to Micheal. This one's a bit of a twisted tale about an evil Halloween mask maker who is determined to sell as many masks to kids as possible and once his commercial plays on Halloween night their faces will melt off. Yeah, it's a good one. Till next time.
