Okay, that's a real cheap shot, but I used anyway. Famed wedding planner David Tutera tells all of his brides to do something that they will be scared to do a few weeks before the wedding. So when they get the jitters, or something goes wrong at the wedding, they can look back on what they just did and realize that their wedding is a piece of cake.
Well, it just so happens that I get the opportunity to do the same thing! (And, no, David is not coming in to kill my wedding plans.) There is a local talent show being held 3 weeks before the wedding, and I'm entering. Now, last time I got on a stage, of any sort, with my guitar, I quickly found out that my guitar was desperately out of tune, my electric tuner had died, and I was found in the church basement by my step father, bawling my eyes out, because I had just humiliated myself in front of my whole school... If you haven't realized by now, I'm a little scarred.
I have, however, more confidence than last time! I will go up on that stage an amateur singer and musician, and I will come down... still an amateur singer and musician, but I will have more experience, I will have something to look back on the day of the wedding, and if I'm lucky, I just might win the grand prize and go home $1000 richer! (We're hoping for the richer, but I think experience is all we will get...and yes, there is a mouse in my pocket!)
I will be singing "Rhythm of Love" by Plain White T's, with an acoustic guitar as my only accomplice. (Yes, accomplice, because stealing applause is a crime!)
But for now I'll just eat my cheerio's and banana slices, and play guitar in my off time.
oh wow! that sounds so exciting. I've always wanted to sing (I have no idea if I can) but the only thing I can play is the clarinet, and I can't sing while playing that! I bet you will do marvelous.
ReplyDeleteI really like your blog. I want a DIY wedding also, that does not break the bank, (or worry the bank, me, or anyone) I'm definitely going to bookmark your site!
