| Cyndi Thomson is happy to bring folks to tears. "Moving people with my music has been my dream," she admits. "I've had people tell me my songs on the radio touch them. And, when I perform live, I tell the audience about the songs because the songs are me. I tell them about me. And so many times people come up after a show and cry because they say they've walked in the same place. Hearing them say that makes what I do worthwhile." |
| 05/13/2002 Cyndi Thomson was married Saturday, May 11 to musician Daniel "D.J." Goodman in Nashville's Woodmont Christian Church. The couple met in August 2001, when Goodman worked with the production company overseeing Thomson's taping of CMT's On The Verge. Goodman played the male lead in a subsequent Thomson video, "I Always Liked That Best." Goodman played guitar briefly for BNA recording artist Shannon Brown. As described in a news release from her publicist, Thomson, 25, "wore a simple, strapless Vera Wang gown in ivory silk. The only accoutrement was a small line of silk-covered buttons running down the back of the bodice." Thomson "wore her hair swept up and held with a 'Paris' tiara handmade especially for her. Her veil was elbow-length, and her bouquet consisted of blood orange roses and other florals of ivory and green. She was escorted down the aisle by her father, Russ Thomson, and the music was provided by....the Nashville String Machine, a gift from Cyndi's producer, Paul Worley." Bridesmaids wore "chocolate brown, single-strapped, off-the-shoulder Jim Hjelm gowns and carried ivory peonies." Thomson's sister, Christine Robbins, was maid of honor. Two other sisters, Barbara Lawson and Debbie Abbott, were bridesmaids with Lauren Robbins, Alexis Goodman, Lisa Kuhn, and Amy King. Goodman, 26, and his groomsmen were college friends at the University of Tennessee. John Patrick was his best man. Following the wedding ceremony, the wedding party stopped for photos at the laundromat where the bride and groom met, then proceeded to a reception. Following dinner the couple shared a "four-tier, raspberry-and-white wedding cake layered with raspberry cream and frosted with buttercream icing." After their honeymoon, Goodman and Thomson will live in Franklin, TN |
| Cyndi Thomson has her own assault story to tell. It happened during the photo shoot of her 2002 Calendar. "One picture you won't see in the calendar is the one where my eyes are bugging out because I'm screaming," Cyndi told us. It happened the shoot for the July page that shows Cyndi feeding some young pigs. At one point she was feeding the baby pig that chomped down on her hand. "It felt like two needles going into my hand!" Cyndi wasn't seriously injured and can now laugh at the picture, "It's hilarious," she says. March 15, 2002 Courtesy of Country Rocks!

| Cyndi Thomson holds song for second album When chart-topper Cyndi Thomson completed work on her debut album, My World, the singer sat down and wrote a song. That song, called "Don't Change" caught the interest of Martina McBride, who was thinking about adding it to her Greatest Hits project. Then, the song sparked the interest of Thomson's music hero, Trisha Yearwood. However, neither opted to record the song, and Thomson decided to keep it for herself and put it on her second album. She shared the story with us: "There was something about the song that just kept saying, 'It's yours, it's your song.' When Martina decided not to do it, Paul Worley (her producer) said, 'Well, I'm gonna play it for Trisha.' And, our plan was only Martina and then I would just take it back. And, he said, 'I played it for Trisha and she really likes it' and I'm like, 'Why did you do that to me, cause I can't tell her no.' But I just told Paul, I said, ' You know, I just can't. I've got to hold on to it.' And the label and everyone had said, 'Cyndi, keep that song for the second album.'" Thomson, whose debut single, "What I Really Meant To Say," recently topped the Billboard Hot Country Singles and Tracks chart, kicked off a fall tour as an opening act for Jo Dee Messina over the weekend.
