My favorite Steven Curits Chapman song is I Will Be Here. James and I had that in our wedding. I think the Cinderella song is very bittersweet, but the tradegy with his daughter just makes the song even more touching.
"I Will Be Here" is such an amazing song! I want to use that as my first dance at my wedding (I mean, I know I need a man first, but still). Have you heard the song "I Will Go There"? I have heard it used for a couple who is dealing with the wife's Alzheimer's, and it is very appropriate. All of his love songs are so pure and sincere, that you can't help but get teary eyed. I think SCC writes as many songs about his wife and kids than about God, which is okay with me. It's good to see a man who loves his family that much.
Dave - that was absolutely beautiful! You nailed the symbolism and that is what is making the tears roll down my face now. You rock, my friend. What lucky princesses you have
I'm Dave's wife and the dance truly was magical! There was hardly a dry eye - even some emotional men (especially those with daughters!) The 2 girls in the beginning are our next-door-neighbors.
Now we're getting ready for round two as our son gets married next month - just 2 months and 1 day after his sister!
