DAY TWO:
Meaning Behind Your Blog Name
As my wife has said, “So This Is Love” is the title of a song from Disney’s classic “Cinderella”. But to me it is so much more…
Back in May of 2008, after dating for around 4 months, Jenn suggested that we take ballroom dance lessons at The Dance Studio Of Maine. From what I’ve seen, most guys are not interested, but I guess I’m not most guys! I had A LOT of fun, and continued to have a lot of fun for many months to come!
Later that first month, on Memorial Day, Jenn and I took a day trip up to Pemaquid Point. It was a perfect day; the first really clear blue, warm days of the year that reminds you that summer is right around the corner. We had so much fun climbing around on rocks, both at the lighthouse, and at another beach Jenn had found. Skeeter came, too, and we dubbed him the “Yoda” of rock climbing, since he was so much faster than us!
As Jenn stated in an earlier post, this was the day that I fell in love. I remember sitting on a deck at the restaurant we stopped at for lunch, and looking out over the ocean thinking how perfect and content I was with her. How being with her just felt right, and how she was the half of me I’d been missing.
That night we went to my parents’ house for supper. We showed them the foxtrot moves we had learned at our dance class, as we danced all around the patio of their pool. Jenn had speakers attached to her Ipod playing “So This Is Love”, as performed by Peabo Bryson (the male vocals in the radio version of “A Whole New World”). My Mom used her digital camera to videotape us dancing and send me a copy the next day. I remember watching the video of us dancing around the pool while the music played, and it looked just like a certain scene in all those chick flicks where the lead guy and lead girl realize that they have something special between them and fall in love.
So, that’s why that song has so much meaning to me. And why it was our first dance, as Jenn explained, and why we had our dance instructor choreograph a special dance to go with it. Jenn also had it engraved on the inside of my wedding band, along with our wedding date.
In short, “So This Is Love” describes us perfectly!
