During the wedding, I wanted to sing a song for Melissa. I couldn't do it though. Not because I didn't want to. I just know it would have made me too emotional. When I get emotional, my throat tightens and my voice becomes this croaky, weird thing that's not pleasant for anyone ( Read more... )

That's a beautiful song!! Our song will be Death Cab for Cutie's cover of "Earth Angel".

I've never played guitar in my life (although someone once taught me how to play "Sweet Leaf" on bass) and, even though I learned how to sing at Conservatory when I was a teen, I am absolutely terrified of singing in front of people. Jonathan is both a guitar player and a singer and so I won't even sing in the shower if he's home...

I thought the best wedding gift I could give him would be a song that I also learn to play guitar to. I'm not only terribly scared of singing and playing but also of getting choked up. I cry so easily! I even think about saying my vows and I get teary-eyed. I would be mortified if I couldn't do this because I couldn't stop crying so I'm seriously reconsidering this idea...

So yeah. I know how you feel, man. I think that you had an amazingly romantic idea, though, and I'm sure Melissa thinks so, too!
