Andrew Bird
If I look in my inbox for emails from Mr.D I’ll find about 50+ emails all with the subject line “Andrew Bird”. This is because on our first date we exchanged a few of a favorite artists and Andrew Bird was one of mine. So after he went back to England and I headed back to Arizona I sent him an email to this youtube video - hence the subject title.
Fast forward to the present and Mr.D was working in the kitchen while I was making lunch. The song came on in his iTunes and I had a realization! This should be the song I walk down the aisle to! It means so much to both of us, not just for the Andrew Bird emails, but also because Mr.D learned to play the song on his guitar and would play it for me over skype chats late at night before I fell asleep
My first choice for aisle song? La valse d’Amelie
Mr.D was not a fan, he said it reminded him of “creepy goblin children in the woods” - no lie. I should probably add that Mr.D hadn’t seen the movie Amelie at this point, but within the next day or so I sat him down and made him watch it with me. It still didn’t change his opinion and I definitely didn’t want him to think of “creepy goblin children in the woods” when I walked down the aisle. Which is why I’m so happy we found another fantastic song - one that means so much to us as a couple.
How did you chose your aisle song?
