please click the above link to hear Van Morrison sing Someone like you
We married at the Victoria and Albert Guesthouse, a grand old building built in 1914 with high ceilings and antique furniture, steep stairways and narrow hall ways. We booked the front room for the ceremony and the reception. The only guests we invited were 4 of our closest friends, to act as witnesses for us and share in what was a magical and memorable day.
The front room boasted high ceilings and heavy drapes that covered stained glass windows, combine this with an open fireplace and the scene is set, and it is perfect.
We exchanged our vows in front of the large fireplace. My husband surprised me with a song he had chosen "Van Morrisson - Someone like you" and arranged to have it played during our marriage vows. This has become our song....I was overwhelmed as I knew it was from his heart and that is what makes this special. It still brings tears to my eyes each time I hear it. This song is meaningfull to both of us, because we both had been married before and had failed, and now to actually find each other and know it was right this time, well the lyrics in this song just said it all.
After signing the marriage certificate, we relaxed at a beautifully layed out table with sumptious feast that was prepaired just for us, we enjoyed each others company, drank the finest wine and had a smoke or 2.
This day was one of the most relaxed and memorable days in my life. And will remain one of my fondest merories...
We will be seeing Van Morrison Live at the Opera House next month. WOW
