It was getting close to the time my beautiful partner, Mirjam, and I were to be married.
What a happy and contented life we had created together. She made me so happy.
I thought I would try to capture my emotion by writing a song and a musical composition to embrace our life we had built over the time we had known each other.
The song sort of just fell in to place. The words expressed my emotion and sentiment. The music had to feel romantic and help to tell the story. It seemed to just flow out.
My friend, Dave, took some photos and videos of rehearsing the song, walking along our local beach, and put together a really nice video we could play for the occasion ‘on this day’ of the wedding ceremony.
‘On This Day‘

verse 1
I’ve loved you from the moment I first kissed you
From that day you came in to my life
I will hold you in my arms so close now
On this day you become my wife
chorus 1
For you are all I ever wished for
All my hopes and dreams with you there by my side
I will treasure this moment forever
On this day that you become my bride

chorus 2
You are everything I wished for
All this love I hold for you deep inside
I will dance in your heart for a lifetime
On this day that you become my bride

I will dance in your heart for our lifetime
On this day you now become my bride
