Unspoken Conversations are the topics that are often swept under the carpet, whispered amongst the closest of friends and bitched about by many. I want to create awareness about difficult things that people face in life; grief, mental health, money, illnesses, family troubles, relationship difficulties and putting yourself first. I want to tell the truth about things that really matter.

Don't Tell the Guests - Our Aisle Song


So I suck at music. Yup, that's right, I can't play it, my singing doesn't even sound good in my own head, I don't know the words to songs and I once thought that the words to Voodoo Child were "my boo boo shack"!

Selecting the music for our wedding was definitely going to be a challenge for me.

We didn't want the traditional songs, nor juicy smoochy gooey songs, but we didn't have a must include either!

That was until I went to the wait for it, Hanson concert. 

Yes, I found the song that I would walk down the aisle to marry my best friend at a Hanson concert.

Matt Wertz was the pre concert entertainment and totally rocked my socks.

I found myself singing along, jigging away and really inspired by his music!

Then he sang the song 'Feels so Right' and from that moment, I couldn't wait to get home and play it to Mick to see whether he liked it too.

Fortunately he did!

To make the song super special we asked one of our very best friends, Meg, to learn and sing it live, while playing her guitar. She slowed down the melody, and sang it so beautifully.

One of my most favourite memories of our wedding experience was the day before the wedding when we were setting up, Meg asked if she could sing me the song.

We grabbed her guitar, walked down the stairs, and found a cute little spot on the beach front. Meg whipped out her guitar and serenaded me!

The gorgeous Meg.
I cried.

She sounded so beautiful.

I wished that I had a recording of Meg's voice and version to put on here! Maybe it'll be playing in the background of our wedding video that we'll hopefully get soon!

The song choice was perfect!

Here's a glimpse of the words:

Are you ready to hear it
Got this feeling and it won't go away
I don't know how to hide it
So it's time that I finally say

Ooh... It feels so right
Knowin' I could love you for the rest of my life
Ooh... It feels so right
Knowin' I could love you for the rest of my life

I can't wait any longer
I don't know if you can receive
My love keeps growing stronger
If you say yes, I'll give you everything

Ooh... It feels so right
Knowin' I could love you for the rest of my life
Ooh... It feels so right
Knowin' I could love you for the rest of my life
Knowin' I could love you for the rest of my life

Ooh... Feels so right
Ooh... Feels so right

Ooh... It feels so right
Knowin' I could love you for the rest of my life
Ooh... It feels so right
Knowin' I could love you for the rest of my life
Knowin' I could love you for the rest of my life
Knowin' I could love you for the rest of my life


What song did you choose for your aisle song?

Look after yourself and those around you,
