The Last Time

by: Eric Benet

The first time I fell in love was long ago.
I didn’t know how to give my love at all.
The next time I settled for what felt so close.
But without romance, you’re never gonna fall.
After everything I’ve learned;
Now it’s finally my turn.
This is the last time I’ll fall… in love.
The first time we walked under that starry sky,
there was a moment when everything was clear.
I didn’t need to ask or even wonder why,
because each question is answered when your near.
and I’m wise enough to know when a miracle unfolds,
This is the last time i’ll fall in love.
Now don’t hold back, just let me know.
Could i be moving much too fast or way too slow.
‘Cause all of my life, I’ve waited for this day.
To find that once in a lifetime, this is it, I’ll never be the same.
You’ll never know what it’s taken me to say these words.
And now that I’ve said them, they could never be enough.
As far as I can see, there’s only you and only me.

This is the last time I’ll fall in love.
Last time i’ll fall in love.
The last time i’ll fall… in love.

Wedding Music

I love music, and I love weddings. Put the two together, and it ought to mean something. Wedding Music. I don’t have the words to explain how important music is to weddings. It’s the union of two people who are in love, for crying out loud! Can you just imagine what it would be like without music? I know I can’t. Anyway, wedding songs are so romantic and beautiful that it just heightens the emotions of the event even more. It gets the bride to a state where she feels the happiness ten times more. It even gets her teary eyed. From the entourage music to the songs played during reception, wedding music really is the icing on the cake. Hear my favorite wedding songs of all time. If you have any suggestions or favorite wedding song, feel free to comment!

I Heart Garden Weddings

Don’t you just love garden weddings? I am essentially a nature person. I love flowers, plants, shrubs, trees, grass, everything green and colorful. That’s why of all wedding settings and themes, I think I would love a garden wedding most, especially if it’s my own wedding.

There are lots of wedding themes to choose from. One time, I even got an invite for a bohemian themed wedding. The possibilities are endless! But why garden weddings? For me, I just feel so at peace with nature. I imagine myself walking down that aisle, barefoot or wearing sandals, I feel the grass on my feet and I see the tree leaves swaying in the air, the gentle rustle of the wind on my face and skin, flowers blooming all around me, as if they’re celebrating the day with me. There’s the big blue sky up above witnessing our vows, and birds are flying by. I could close my eyes and feel like I’m in paradise.

That’s what a garden makes me feel. It is symbolic for me too. Think growth and serenity. A wedding is probably the most wonderful event there is, and the most magical. So why not nurture the magic with a garden wedding?

Wedding Nostalgia

Do weddings feel nostalgic to you? For me, for some reason, I get the feeling of nostalgia whenever I attend weddings. I don’t know why really. Looking at the whole setting… the church, the flowers, the bridesmaids and groomsmen, the flower girls and ring bearer, the guests, the bride walking down the aisle while the groom patiently waits in front of the altar, the wedding gown of the bride, the long walk to the altar, not to mention the music and entourage… everything just adds up to the nostalgic feeling!

Maybe it’s just me, but I feel really solemn and sentimental during weddings. That’s why I usually sit on the back part. Hahaha. But seriously, do weddings create that nostalgic feeling to you too? If not, what do you usually feel when you attend a wedding? I’d love to hear your thoughts.

Dream Weddings

I love weddings. There’s always something in them that’s very inspiring. I was feeling up to it, and I was browsing wedding videos on the Internet, and each and every one of these videos showcase couples who are so happy and so in love that it melts my heart. Two people, exchanging vows, wanting to spend the rest of their lives together, what can be more romantic than that, right?

Weddings are such a magical event. Beach weddings, garden weddings, Asian weddings, winter weddings, they’re all fabulous in my opinion. Although I’m more of a garden type wedding girl myself. Regardless of the theme, or the place… what’s important is that you’re marrying your dream person, someone that you love so much, you’re willing to grow old with them. That’s what makes weddings special. The union of two people in front of God. It doesn’t have to be very expensive or grand, as long as you’re marrying the one you love, it’s a dream wedding.

Words Cannot Show

I searched among the card displays,
To see if I could find,
A little something that would say
Just what was on my mind.

However there was not a one,
That captured it just right,
For no one else can understand
Just what I’d like to write.

I even find it difficult
To try to write it down,
For how do I portray to you,
The love that I have known?

I close my eyes and what I see,
Is someone I adore;
A person who is beautiful,
Right down into their soul.

Mere words cannot describe
The many qualities you show,
The love and caring nature that
You share with those who know.

Your kind and gentle temperament,
Your sweet angelic smile,
Your softly spoken sentiments,
That reach across the miles.

Your smile and laugh that sparkle with
The softness of your sighs,
The way your face lights up a room …
That twinkle in your eye.

The loving gestures through the years,
That quickly come to mind,
For always you’ve a gentle word
To calm and soothe I find.

I struggle and I search to try
To find some words anew …
And yet I cannot capture
All the things that make you you.

I shall therefore, be satisfied
That you must simply know,
Just how I feel about you,
For with words I cannot show

Where Is It I Belong?

We met one summer’s day
We smiled and said our names
the way two people often do
He was Capricorn
And the love was born
Although he had a wedding vow
He loved me anyhow
The way two people often do
In a special style
We make love a while
And then he’d go
And I’d knowHe belongs there
Where is it I belong?

…And so at work each day
To friends I’d have to say
Our love would last forevermore
They don’t know his name
How can I explain?
When they don’t know
Like I know…

I loved so willingly
Though he is killing me
With love that never will be mine
I love you, he’ll say
In a special way
Then he goes home
And I know…
