Our first dance.
We never did go back for more dance lessons. Never mastered the waltz. So we went with the classic swaying back and forth, slowly turning in a circle, while patient guests looked on.
We had a hard time picking a song, but went with "Ugly Love" by Eels. A song that is a little bit funny, but also deeply heartfelt. One of our favorite combinations.
"Dear cousin,
I got your letter
It was more than i thought i deserved
Well she sounds perfect, all i dream of
And i dream about so much it is absurd
But when i get there and she sees me
I'll be impressed if she does not run screaming
"My kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
"I had a thought while i was sleeping
And I dreamed about a place for us to rest
Eternity under the old oak tree
But i go too far i guess
Maybe I'll think about tomorrow
And maybe i can get her to stay that long
"'cause my kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time
"And if she finds me so repulsive
She wouldn't be the first to wretch
Well i decided one day long ago
I was never gonna be the greatest catch
And if she cares about the car i drive
Then she can get in hers
The moment i arrive
"'cause my kind of love is an ugly love
But it's real and it lasts a long, long time"
