I'm really torn!!! Since I've heard "The One He Kept for Me", I've wanted to walk down the aisle to it. {Hubby told me to pick all the songs. He's tapped out of wedding planning. lol} Patti Labelle is Hubby's FAVORITE singer! Like, if she showed up to the wedding, he'd probably divorce me and marry her! LOL! So, I want to surprise him and have a lil Patti in the ceremony. We will have a soloist, who I will reveal to you all later, after confirmation. Now I want to walk down the aisle to "You Are My Friend" for him. Problem? I can'r really walk down the aisle to two songs.
I'm very musically inclined and so is the soloist. I'm thinking what if she does a medley of the two songs? Maybe start off with "You Are My Friend" then like half way through, the music can transition. She can sing, "...you are my friend...{transition of music}... and you're the one I've waited for, my loves design....{and complete the song or bits and pieces}."
I can probably just get with her and the musician to compose the music and map out the song. Thoughts?
