“You Are The Best Thing”

Baby
It’s been a long day, baby
Things ain’t been going my way
And now i need you here
To clear my mind all the time

And baby
The way you move me, it’s crazy
It’s like you see right through me
And make it easier
Believe me, you don’t even have to try

Oh, because
You are the best thing
(you’re the best thing)
You are the best thing
(you’re the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing
(you’re the best thing, oooh)
Ever happened to me

Baby
We’ve come a long way
And baby
You know i hope and i pray
That you believe me
When i say this love will never fade away

Oh, because
You are the best thing
(you’re the best thing)
You are the best thing
(you’re the best thing, baby)
You are the best thing
(you’re the best thing, oooh)
Ever happened to me

Both of us had no love before
to come on promising like a spring to walk on out the door?
Our words are strong and our hearts are kind
Let me tell you just exactly what’s on my mind

You are the best thing
You are the best thing
you’re the best thing, baby
You are the best thing
you’re the best thing
Ever happened to me

-Ray Lamontagne

Alison has a laugh that is contagious. These two are truly a magnetic couple with a beautiful engagement story that ended with a boom box and Starship’s song “Nothing’s Going to Stop Us Now” blaring into the night. I love it! Here’s the video if you don’t remember this 80′s classic from that fantastic movie Mannequin!

Lookin’ in your eyes I see a paradise
This world that I found is too good to be true
Standing here beside you, want so much to give you
This love in my heart and I feel it for you
Let ‘em say we’re crazy, I’ll give a path
Put your hands in my hand baby don’t ever look back
Let the world around us, just fall apart
Baby we can make it if we’re heart to heart
And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers
We’ll still have each other
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us
I’m so glad I found you
I’m not gonna lose you
Whatever it takes
I will stay here with you
Take it to the good times
See it through the bad times
Whatever it takes is what I’m gonna do

Let ‘em say we’re crazy
What do they know?
Put your hands in my hand baby, don’t ever let go
Let the world around us
Just fall apart
Baby we can make it
if we’re heart to heart
And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers
We’ll still have each other
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Now, all that I need is you

All that I ever need in the whole of the world to do
Is hold you forever, ever and ever,

And we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers
We’ll still have each other
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us

we can build this thing together
Standing strong forever
Nothing’s gonna stop us now

And if this world runs out of lovers
We’ll still have each other
Nothing’s gonna stop us
Nothing’s gonna stop us now

A Christening Prayer

O God of all creation,
You breathe life into every living thing,
Your Spirit hovers near us
Protecting us, holding us, warming us
As a parent holds a child

Come now and embrace this family
With your eternal love
And bless their child that he
May grow in grace and dignity
And find joy at every turn

Sustain this family as they nurture their child,
As they learn together, laugh together,
And share in the mystery of life together.
In unity may the excel in love and forgiveness,
Valuing most highly the simple joy of being
Together.

-Kim Engelmann
