Bob Carlisle and Randy Thomas
There's two things I know for sure.
She was sent here from heaven,
and she's daddy's little girl.
As I drop to my knees by her bed at night,
she talks to Jesus, and I close my eyes.
And I thank God for all of the joy in
my life, Oh, but most of all, for...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"Walk beside the pony
daddy, it's my first ride."
"I know the cake looks funny,
daddy, but I sure tried."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve a hug every morning,
And butterfly kisses at night.
Sweet sixteen today,
She's looking like her momma
a little more everyday.
One part woman, the other part girl.
To perfume and makeup,
from ribbons and curls.
Trying her wings out in a great
big world. But I remember...
Butterfly kisses after bedtime prayer.
Stickin' little white flowers all up in her hair.
"You know how much I love you daddy,
But if you don't mind,
I'm only gonna to kiss you on
the cheek this time."
With all that I've done wrong
I must have done something right.
To deserve her love every morning,
And butterfly kisses at night.
All the precious time
Like the wind, the years go by
Precious butterfly
Spread your wings and fly
She'll change her name today.
She'll make a promise,
and I'll give her away.
Standing in the bride room
just staring at her,
she asked me what I'm thinking,
and I said "I'm not sure,
I just feel like I'm losing my baby girl."
Then she leaned over....and gave me....
Butterfly kisses, with her mama there
Sticking little white flowers all up in her hair
"Walk me down the aisle, daddy, it's just about time"
"Does my wedding gown look pretty, daddy?"
"Daddy, don't cry."
Oh, with all that I've done wrong,
I must have done something right
To deserve her love every morning,
And butterfly kisses
I couldn't ask God for more, man, this is what love is
I know I've gotta let her go, but I'll always remember
Every hug in the morning, and butterfly kisses...

My Bestfriend's Wedding

Fatima Church, Sorsogon City
hmmm... talk about times changing and me getting older *sigh* and the nagging question of "when will your wedding be?"
But let's not deal with that today.
My friend had an off-shoulder white gown. Beaded neckline and long train of headdress flowing behind her. Her hair was swept up held together by pearls around with big curls that looks like scraped butters. We were guessing if it's her real hair coz we all know she has short hair. heh! Maybe she grew it for the wedding.
The ceremony is already starting when we (Nanay, me and my sister) came. We didn't get to see her walk down the aisle. I noticed the groom was perspiring too much, which (from what I've observed from past weddings I've attended) is common to the grooms. I think the men look more anxious during their wedding than the women, which of course has to be the "prettiest" girl in the room. *smiles* That's her "day".
Reception was held near the bride's house. Garden-theme. Each table was accentuated with candles placed inside medium-sized japanese lanterns. Flowers adorned around it. The newlyweds were sitted at the far side, towards the center of the garden. Table draped with golden-yellow satin fabric. Food is served at the tables before the guests arrived but still more at the buffet table for second servings, or third, or fourth. It would have been more romantic if we went there later in the afternoon or early in the evening. But all in all, the air is filled with love.
I didn't join (I never did ever) the single, female friends gathered for the bouquet. Instead of the bride throwing it, they tied the flowers with ribbons and gave the other end to each lady. At the count of three, the ladies will pull the ribbons at the same time the bride lets go of the bouquet. One of the principal sponsors got the end tied directly to the flowers. Excitement rose when one of the male principal sponsors (allegedly) is also single. Yet again, instead of the groom throwing the garter, they gathered the guys in a circle while the garter is tossed around to a tune. When the music stops, the guy holding the garter will in turn stretch it up to the female sponsor's right leg. Everyone enjoys a good laugh.
After the cake has been sliced, the wine shared and the doves were freed, it was time for well-wishers.
Love, endless. Respect each other. By summary those were the pieces of advise given to the newlyweds.
A CD with their collection of love songs were given as a souvenir to guests.
Because of You
Butterfly Kisses
For You
That's All I Ask of You
I Could Not Ask for More
Love Moves in Mysterious Ways
You're Still You
Because You Love Me
Destiny
So It's You
I Finally Found Someone
Thank You Love
Beautiful songs. A Promise of Love.
