Officer and a Bride




This post brought to you by Soccer Mom in Denial - posting every Monday on a different musical memory.



***********************************************************

We went to a BEAUTIFUL wedding this weekend in Vermont. The ceremony had a number of guests in dress navy uniforms, and one very impressive looking marine, also in dress uniform. And most notably, the groom in his dress uniform - bright white - even his shoes!

The reception was held on a private "farm" - really just several acres of grassy hills overlooking the lake. Stunning.

We drank and ate and drank some more and danced till our feet killed us (I'm going to need knee replacement surgery after this one). Plenty of 80's tunes, a smattering of Bon Jovi and Bruce Springsteen (both of whom have come out in support of a certain candidate associated with the wedding party), lots of Madonna, etc.


As the night wound down I kept waiting for a certain song to play. Surely it had to be the last song. I kept waiting.... nope. Guess not. Though it would have been so perfect, and perfectly hokey.

You are a complete sap!

It must've been a wedding weekend because we were at the Coast Guard Academy for ours. And the couple danced to the reggae tune "Is this love that I'm feeling."

Thanks for still playing. Mine won't be up until tonight.

Sounds like a gorgeous wedding. And yes, that would have been perfect if there were 80s tunes there already!
