37. We made this decision 40 years ago

Sun May 4, 2014, 10:56 PM

May 2014

While discussing our wedding arrangements, the subject came to choosing "our song", to which we would dance our first dance together as a married couple. Almost in unison,, we both said, "No 'We've Only Just Begun'". Everybody was using it, and we weren't "Carpenters People", anyway. We decided on Here, There and Everywhere. I'm happy with our choice, to this very day.

P.S I grew to like about 5 or 6 Carpenters songs. Karen had such a beautiful voice.
