My daughter is getting married in September, and while we were discussing what song we will dance to, she asked me if I would write one for us. She hasn't heard this as she wants to hear it for the first time when we dance. All the instruments are Band in a Box, I just love this program, although it does make me lazy sometimes http://soundcloud.com/fitzync/the-best-thing-that-happened

Fitzy,
Beautiful song. Great vocal and harmony, and excellent tracks and mix. Super well done. Your daughter will have a lifetime memory with this.
You had better stock up on the tissues. There is gonna be a LOT of crying...

Hi Fitzy Well done! A Great song to mark the special day. I'm sure that she will wet your shirt with tears!. One Question - on the day, who will sing the song? Congratulations Ian

Had me from the 1st verse. My prediction is that when the sax solo begings you will look into each other's eyes and ball like two babies. In fact I'll be willing to put money on this one!
Get ready for the waterworks!

Really beautiful! I have 2 daughters, and both of them got married within 1 year, so I know what you are about to go through.
As has been said, good job with the vocals, the harmonies, the whole song. I know she will love it! And I know there will be tears!

Huge +1 to what's already been said. This is absolutely beautiful. She's going to love it and so is everyone else. I'm going to buy stock in kleenex now.
Great work.

Very nice. Your daughter will dance to a song her Dad wrote just for her - how cool is that?
Regards,
Bob

Thank you all for your kind words, praise from fellow musicians is high praise indeed. I intended to carry a clean handkerchief to give my daughter, but after reading these replies I think AT LEAST two will be in order!

I'm with Danny on this one. Does anyone want to bet us?
This is one fantastic tribute to your daughter as well as a very special song that she will cherish for the rest of her life. You should be very proud of this one!
Two thumbs up.
Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up. Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Hi Fitz,
What a beautiful, wonderful, special song. Everything about it is exceptionally well done - writing, arranging, singing, mixing. As Floyd said above "Your daughter will have a lifetime memory with this."
My best wishes to your all, Noel
