Military Brides December 2011 Siggy. Holiday picture with your SO. We suck and don't have one
Those who matter don't mind and those who mind don't matter.
Some Suggestions I considered after doing some googling: Right here Waiting- richard marx whereever you go- the calling (beautiful especially if hell be leaving again) Tim McGraw & Faith Hill - It's Your Love no envy no fear- joshua radin you-fischer come home- one republic
shedaisy-come home soon is an INCREDIBLE deployment song. not really appropriate for a first dance.. but i felt it was worthy of mention
If nothing else, just go listen to them.. a lot of them I fuond from watching tv shows and had to google them bc they were so pretty. Wishin you luck on the search!
Because FI is generally in the air, our first dance song, our song, is "When you come back Down" by Nickel Creek. I originally wanted to fly the AH-1 when I finished college, so we didn't think our relationship would make it because being a Marine some day is more important to me than anything else. When I decided to apply ground, this song had even more meaning for me, because FI was supportive of my dream, even if it meant we couldn't be together.
ETA: And actually, sort of hilariously, we chose this song because we didn't rush our wedding/marriage. Despite the fact that I can't follow my dream until we get married or break up, we both put our love for the military and its rules above our own selfish desires. I could have joined as soon as I graduated and kept seeing him on the side, behind the backs of the Marine Corps, etc. But that would be not only illegal, but morally and ethically abhorrent. So it means a lot to us to finally get married, without rushing, and without lies, and at the ripe old ages of 26 and 28. I got married at 20 OP, it wasn't a good idea. Sure, I "loved" him. But that should be the ONLY reason to get married, not a background reason. I learned the hard way. Hopefully you two can grow and evolve together, rather than growing up and growing apart.

Haha and here I was trying to figure out what "ly go wit" meant!!! I clearly have been sleep deprived since I procrastinate going to bed alone the last two nights.
Michael Buble always makes me smile. It's silly, but when I get really upset about something, one thing that always calms me down is slow dancing with FI. He just turns on a song, and I dance on his toes like a little girl and we sway back and forth and hum or sing along and just hold each other. When I lost my job, that was the song FI put on to dance with me to get me to stop crying. It was just so perfect, and every word just made me hopeful and happy to be with such an awesome guy, no matter what other challenges were going on in my life that he would always be my rock and the person to keep me balanced.

Great idea! I also helped her with an idea out with her ducks.
Being a childish liar? OP is being a childish liar by lying about her marriage in order to defraud the military, so she can have insurance. She wants to lie about her marriage to her family and friends because she "doesn't want them to remember her JOP" and she doesn't want to "take away her grandparents seeing her get married" which she is doing by having a JOP in the first place. I'm sorry if it makes me childish that I get my panties in a twist when I see someone willfully commiting fruad to the military service that has done SOOOO much for me and my H, the military that I proudly served for 4 years.. I'm sorry that it pisses me off that we have so many selfish brides on this board that bring this sh*t up every other day. I'm sorry if it makes me childish that it bothers me that other SM are so willing to completley abandon thier core values. So be it. I'm childish, because I'm not like other posters who just say "Whatever makes you happy". I guess I'll just have to find a way to sleep tonight knowing that You think I'm childish.

WTH would you make a post titled "military first dance song" and then say "it's just for us. In our house together alone with no one else. Maybe this for your JOP marriage, the one you're going to lie about to everyone you care about (although you must not care very much about them) or is it for your "wedding" with your sheet cakes for everyone else because they're not good enough to know the truth about you and your marriage, or eat your 2 tiered cake?
