The Luckiest: Our First Dance

I don't get many things right the first time
In fact, I am told that a lot
Now I know all the wrong turns
The stumbles and falls
Brought me here



And where was I before the day
That I first saw your lovely face?
Now I see it every day


And I know
That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest



What if I'd been born fifty years before you
in a house on the street where you lived?
Maybe I'd be outside as you passed on your bike...
Would I know?

And in a white sea of eyes
I see one pair that I recognize
And I know


That I am
I am
I am
The luckiest



I love you more than I have ever found a way to say to you



Next door
There's an old man who lived to his nineties 
And one day, passed away in his sleep
And his wife, she stayed for a couple of days
And passed away


I'm sorry, I know that's a strange way to tell you that I know
We belong



That I know
that I am
I am
I am
The luckiest

Previously, in the Octopus wedding...

• We did errands all the live-long day.
• We ran late, we got stressed, and we argued.
• We rehearsed and had dinner, and had a great time doing it.
• We got fancy with hair and makeup.
• I got bridal.
• I waited and soaked up the moment in Heinz Chapel.
• We processed up the aisle.
• We made it official.
• We posed our way through our family portraits.
• I had, then recovered from, a minor freak-out.
• We took portraits with our bridal party.
• We took some smoochy pictures.
• We posed for some skyline shots.
• I showed you how it all came together.
• We had just a few minutes to enjoy the end of our cocktail hour.
• We were introduced into our reception.....and almost screwed up the cake-cutting.
