#103. Sing an Original Song to my Bride at my Wedding

Completed August 6, 2000 

@ Smithers, BC

The sun shone strongly as I plucked the song on my guitar, I Choked back tears every now and again, but I managed to get through OK.  I thank my groomsmen, Pete, Tey and Justin and Alan and Ian and Todd for helping out. (check out the pictures at the bottom)

Amber is a tremendous inspiration.  

I'm sure I'll write her more songs in the future.
