My partner and I share Truly, Madly, Deeply and I Knew I Loved You. Very romantic, and both songs say so much of what is in our hearts!!

Somehow I know Without asking why That you love me more in a minute Than anyone could in a lifetime We don't need no preacher man Readin' from the Good Book And I don't want no fancy dress Ain't no ceremony for the vows that I took From the moment I met you I have been blessed So let's make a toast And drink up the wine Here's to you lying here next to me Until the end of time Wherever you are I wanna be And anything that means anything to you Means everything to me Sneakin' out the back door While they're throwing the rice And they'll talk for weeks But we're all we need So baby, if you're free Marry me

"No One Else" by Amel Larrieux...simple, straight to the point, and words that hold the strongest meaning..even "Beautiful" by Musiq Soulchild resonates with us..

You must hear the new Marriage Equality song and see the video produced by a lesbian couple. This song has brought tears to the eyes of straight and gay people alike:-) Here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/user/jruler#p/a/f/0/25dp3moMOcU

Our date is next spring, and we're both huge Joan Jett fans. This one was a no-brainer for us to pick. So far it's been the easiest wedding decision we've had.
