I’m not one for letting videos talk for me very often. It’s kind of like staying in laughlin hotels instead of Vegas hotels. It’s just not the same. But I’m going to make an exception in this case. However, I will start with a few words:

I met my wife in November of 1995. We met at a local BBS event. We were dancing together on the dance floor for no other reason than to just have fun. As we moved from the dance floor, we sat together at the bar and talked for a long time. I watched her every smile. I loved listening to her talk. She has such a sweet voice. Before I left, I kissed her and fell in love.

A month later, I was standing in the middle of her family’s living room. I had a radio next to me. I put in the song “True Companion” by Marc Cohn. I sang it to her in front of her family as my marriage proposal to her. Since we’re still happily married, I guess it worked. She said “yes.” Every time I hear that song, it reminds me of everything I love about my wife. So, without further ado, here’s a You Tube video with the song and the lyrics. The lyrics are important. I hope you enjoy.
