We're Getting Married!

It all started (as the best stories do) with sheer exhaustion. Abby, an Elementary Education Major, and I, a Digital Media Major, were both students at Southwestern Assemblies of God University. Being a hardworking media student, I was constantly inundated with editing projects that kept me working late in the media building, the same building where Abby worked as a barista for the on-campus coffee shop. Sheer exhaustion + proximity to coffee = Frequent visits with the cute barista Tim was constantly in the shop ordering espresso shots to keep going, but he could only ever afford one shot. I took the liberty of making him two, free of charge. And that's how we started talking to each other! Finally, Tim got up the courage to ask me to coffee, but in a different shop—of course! And the rest, as they say, is history.

This is story of our relationship, as best we know it, through song. Below is the list of songs and the reasons why we chose them. 1. “Just Haven’t Met You Yet” - Michael Buble (Before we met) 2. “Call Me Maybe” - Carly Rae Jepsen (When Tim first asked me to coffee) 3. “You Make My Dreams Come True” - Hall n Oats (When we started to really date) 4. “Can’t Help Falling in Love” - Ingrid Michaelson (When Tim fell in love) 5. “Fly Me to the Moon” - Frank Sinatra (When Abby fell in love) 6. “Wouldn’t It Be Nice” - Beach Boys (Waiting to get married) 7. “Kiss the Bride” - Elton John (Ceremony) 8. “At Last” - Etta James (Just Married!) 9. “I Wanna Dance with Somebody” - Whitney Houston (Our Reception: Time to Party!) 10. “Stand by Me” - Ben E. King (After Wedding...Married Life) 11. “Bad Liar” - Imagine Dragons (Tough times in Married Life) 12. “Stay with You” - John Legend (Together Forever!)
