Couple Songs!
We don’t have a song. Other couples do, but not us. You usually hear other couples songs at their weddings. They go out and dance to it and everyone goes “Awwww…..” while I throw up in my mouth.
Last night we were laying in bed and my wife asked me to sing to her our song. Now she knows damn well we don’t have a song and she is, for some reason, setting me up for an argument when all I want to do is go to sleep. It is already mid-night and I have to get up early for work but do I get quiet? No! I get, “Sing me our song!”
Long story short, the wife and I were friends for the longest time before we became and item. We were both in long term relationships when we met and became friends and when they fell apart we decided to move in together and then one day we just looked at each other, like two old folks asking each other for sex, and I said “Do you wanna?”
She said, “Do you wanna?”
I said, “Sure, why not”
So we hopped a flight to Vegas and got married. No big wedding. No family. No reception. Nothing.
Since we never really dated, we never really had a song. Besides, I am not a mushy guy that hears a song and thinks wow! That reminds me of my woman. *insert eyes rolling here!
Which leads me back to last night. Laying in bed, trying to fall asleep when she nails me with her “sing me our song” request. It was way out of left field and I certainly was not looking for an argument at that moment, but she clearly was.
What is the big deal of a couple song? Why is it so important for her to all of a sudden, at midnight, to need to have a couple song? Why is it that stupid stuff like this keeps getting me into trouble?
Oh, Mark…You should have said, “Yes, dear, I’ll sing you our song, but only if you do it first!”
Haha. I’m just kidding.
Pretty cool that that’s the way you got married. If I ever get married I think I want to elope too. Less hassle.
Every woman wants to feel special and feel that you think of her when she’s not around. A song is one way you could be reminded of her. In your case, you will just have to be more clever. A good answer might be “There is no one song that correctly describes our relationship, honey. But every time I see a flower blossom, I think of how beautiful you are and whenever I see a mother bird building her nest or tending her young, I think of what a great mother you are to our children. You get the idea. She just wants to know you think of her fondly. You don’t have to lie either. Start thinking of her in little things every day if you don’t already!
Mark .. so did ya get in trouble? Arguement .. fight? Surely not, over a SONG. At midnight! You coulda sang umm .. “I’m a little teapot”.?
We don’t a song so to speak, but whenever “Amazed” comes on the radio, the Mister always comments that THAT is the song we both walked down the aisle to. He thinks of it as our song, I think of it as the song we both walked down the aisle to…
I was never much into the whole “our song” thing. It makes no sense, I know my husband loves me and I don’t need a song to remind me of that.
