We Are Man & Wife


When I got engaged I started searching for the perfect music.  Music is so important to me I knew I had to find just the right song to say what I wanted said.  It couldn't be just any sappy love song.  It had say what I felt.  It had to be true to us.  It had to be a song that I could listen to 50 years later and still bring back the emotions that I felt.

We Are Man &Wife
by Michelle Featherstone
All the things you are to me


Darling you have set me free


Always give you what you need


and what you deserve


All the joy and all this love


I know that it is from above


And now together there's enough to fill this world





'Cause you are the love of my life


You are the love of my life


And now we're man and wife



When I met my hubby he wasn't supposed to be the one.  He was supposed to be the one that helped me feel better.  He was a nice guy that my mom introduced me to.  He was safe.  It took me six months to fall in love.    And in that six months what I came to realize was that he was everything I needed, nothing I expected.  Yes, he was safe.  Because he was solid.  Yes, sometimes predictable.  Because you could count on him.  He was the rock I was looking for.


All the things that you will do


And now i'm standing next to you


And darling I will see you through the rest of our lives


With you beside me I have won


I'm glad i've waited for so long


There is no doubt that you are the one


for me





You are the love of my life


You are the love of my life


When I first heard "We Are Man & Wife" by Michelle Featherstone I wept.  I wept because it felt like she pulled the words straight from my brain and put them to music.  I wept because I HAD waited for so long.  Waited for the person that would stick.  Someone I could count on to always try to not let me down (let's face it we all fail the one's we love sometimes).  I needed someone who would see through the facade to the real stuff inside.  This song for me said everything I wanted, needed to say to my hubby in a way I couldn't convey.


There'll be times(we make the time)


There'll be things(we will bring)


Everything is going to be fine


Now you're in my life


So I give you heart and soul


It's yours to take wherever you go


Through the years you'll always know it's yours to keep


God has blessed this sacred vow


Angels line above and look down


See the two of us, we found the perfect love





You are the love of my life


You are the love of my life


You are the love of my life


Yeah, you are the love of my life


Now we're man and wife




I don't believe in love at first sight.  I don't believe in one person that is your end all, be all.  What I do believe in (thank you Mom and Dad for modeling this) is happily ever after with your best friend.  I believe in being with someone who chooses you everyday and you choose them.  I believe in someone who will fight with you, stand with you and hold you up if you need that.  I married that.



This post was part of Mama Kat’s writing workshop. The prompt was “ Write about your wedding song.  What was it and why did you choose it.”
