SONG CHALLENGE WINNER!
The Song Challenge:
(A true story) Gerhard Spitz and Martina Steindorf, both of Germany, were married in a
Las Vegas casino recently in a "masked wedding." The pair were the winners of a radio
contest in Germany where listeners matched the most compatible and most popular
couple. The couple had only spoken once before the wedding, when the groom
proposed to the bride on-air before they were flown to Las Vegas for their
wedding. At the ceremony, the couple were masked until they were pronounced
husband and wife. The groom then kissed the shaking bride, saying "It's
fate that we are joined." The happy kids honeymooned in California, where
the groom said "We're going to get acquainted."
A Groom I'm Try'n to Love by SharonA
(Tune: "A Groovy Kind of Love" by The Mindbenders, also performed by Phil Collins)
SharonA's Comments: Here's a little something on the subject of
starting out on the right foot . . .
Wearing something new, borrowed, old, and blue.
Can't take a look at you; I'm blindfolded too.
Waiting close to me, I can feel your palm sweat.
I can hear the words: "We're gathered here..."
You and I agree man and wife to be.
Got a groom I'm try'n' to love.
Anytime I want to, I could turn and run to
Germany and on to anyplace at all.
When I kiss your lips, will they feel like liver?
Will I cry a river as your bride?
Why did I agree your new wife to be?
Got a groom I'm try'n' to love.
I got a groom I'm try'n' to love.
Well, I wonder who said to me, "I do"?
I take a look as you take your mask off, too.
Now I'm in your arms; my teeth seem to chatter.
You say you're a 'Catter. I post there!
Wouldn't you agree you're the man for me?
Got a groom I find I love!
I got a groom I find I love!
I got a groom I find I love!
