Musical Mondays: First Date to First Dance

Hosted by Jori and Diane

oday's Musical Monday's post is in honor of my good friend, Shelby, and her new husband, Brad. I have lots of awesome pictures to show you ~ but first sit back and listen to their First Dance song as you read the story that makes this song so special to my dear friends.

In Shelby's words:
We will dance our first dance as husband and wife to “Feels Like Rain” by John Hiatt. The first time I heard this song was the result of Brad’s knack for romance. At the end of one of our first dates, we drove to the park that would later become the site of our engagement. Brad blared this song out of his blazer called “ole busted”. As we danced in the moonlight, I fell in love with the song and began to fall in love with Brad. The song eventually became “our song”.
Ladies, this guy really knocks romance out of the park. I'm so glad that Shelby has found such an amazing man to spend the rest of her life with. Congratulations, you two!

Thanks for coming by say hi at my blog. Love your play list, especially Feels Like Rain (what a romantic guy your friend is marrying). Will add Louie Prima's When You're Smiling to my dancing around the kitchen music list.

Those two little yellow birds on top of the words "south meets south" are as cute as can be!

Aww, it's so much fun to see our friends and family finally find their match, isn't it?

My SIL finally got married, after swearing she never would (she's 32). I'm so excited for her and her new husband!

Great photos!
