My Friends Are Amazing

I asked my friend, Jay, to sing at my wedding before I even knew that Justin and I were going to get married {I totally always knew}. During a three-way iChat with his newly-announced wedding date, “Little Lindsey”, I think I finally convinced him. He just happened to know the song and played it for me… and I, in turn, recorded a video to “show to Justin” {all of you… shhhhh}.

I totally started crying the minute he played the first note. Here are the lyrics:

First Day of My Life {Bright Eyes}
This is the first day of my life
I swear I was born right in the doorway
I went out in the rain suddenly everything changed
They’re spreading blankets on the beach

Yours is the first face that I saw
I think I was blind before I met you
Now I don’t know where I am
I don’t know where I’ve been
But I know where I want to go

And so I thought I’d let you know
That these things take forever
I especially am slow
But I realize that I need you
And I wondered if I could come home

Remember the time you drove all night
Just to meet me in the morning
And I thought it was strange you said everything changed
You felt as if you’d just woke up
And you said “this is the first day of my life
I’m glad I didn’t die before I met you
But now I don’t care I could go anywhere with you
And I’d probably be happy”

So if you want to be with me
With these things there’s no telling
We just have to wait and see
But I’d rather be working for a paycheck
Than waiting to win the lottery
Besides maybe this time is different
I mean I really think you like me

Tonight, I am completely in love with my life…

{PS: Jay is going to be totally mad that I posted this-even though I told him I was going to. He wanted to do it again, because that was the first run and he hasn’t played it in, like, three years… I think it’s perfect.}
