Welcome, welcome. Take a seat, stay a while...

First question is, why did I start the blog. Well, I am getting engaged. While that will be a short trip, the rest of the journey will take a lifetime. I wanted to capture the moments, leading up to the moment, when both our lives will change. Taking advice from a trusted friends I decided this would be a great way to chronicle the steps you take to get to the big step.

In the coming weeks you will see posts about ring shopping (duh), ideas for the big moment, and posts about love. I will talk about the love that I have for the women I want to marry and the love she has for me. Stay tuned because for as quick as it will seem for now, it has only just begun.

Also, here is the inspiration for the name. Like many others I am sure, this song sums up a lot about how two people feel when in love.

Barry Louis Polisar - All I Want Is You Lyrics

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and green
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

If I was a flower growing wild and free
All I'd want is you to be my sweet honey bee.
And if I was a tree growing tall and greeen
All I'd want is you to shade me and be my leaves

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a river in the mountains tall,
The rumble of your water would be my call.
If you were the winter, I know I'd be the snow
Just as long as you were with me, when the cold winds blow.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were a wink, I'd be a nod
If you were a seed, well I'd be a pod.
If you were the floor, I'd wanna be the rug
And if you were a kiss, I know I'd be a hug

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.

If you were the wood, I'd be the fire.
If you were the love, I'd be the desire.
If you were a castle, I'd be your moat,
And if you were an ocean, I'd learn to float.

All I want is you, will you be my bride
Take me by the hand and stand by my side
All I want is you, will you stay with me?
Hold me in your arms and sway me like the sea.
