Have you ever watched a movie with your boyfriend and have its soundtracks stuck in your head for weeks on end before you decide that “This is it, this is our song!” Well in the case of Shawn and I as a couple, we watched Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore’s “50 First Dates” and never quite gotten over how beautiful the movie was. We loved the movie so much, we actually went to the movies every night for one week straight just to watch it over and over again!
Most particularly, we love the song “Somewhere over the rainbow” by Israel Kamakawiwo Ole just because it was so relaxing and endearing. I feel exactly the same way whenever I am with Shawn. He makes me feel relaxed and completely at ease with myself as well as the world. He makes me feel like nothing could ever go wrong as long as he is by my side.
Then there’s the song “Wouldn’t it be nice” by the Beach Boys. It’s bright and cheery and Shawn told me that the song suits me to a ‘T’ because that is how I am – bright and always cheerful. =)
Finally, we agreed on a single song that’s to be played right after we are officially man and wife – “I want to grow old with you” sung by Adam Sandler in his movie “The Wedding Planner”. There was a little history behind this. During our early courtship when we were far apart (we were in a long distance relationship before we moved closer to each other) Shawn actually sent me an MP3 of this song. It sat in my Inbox, with no other words accompanying it. I heard the song and immediately fell in love with its whimsical tune and meaningful lyrics, as well as the sender – Shawn.
I particularly love this verse:
“So let me do the dishes in our kitchen sink
Put you to bed when you’ve had too much to drink
Oh I could be the man that grows old with you
I wanna grow old with you.”
