The Wedding Singer

Over the last couple of summer's, I've found myself performing / speaking at the occasional wedding. Andrea and I had two comedians, and good friends, perform at our wedding. And more and more I'm seeing the trend take off!

Last night, brother-in-law Kyle and I sang a new song entitled "Keep Quiet" for Kyle's new brother-in-law Rob Whitam at his wedding to Kyle's sister Jill. It was a beautiful wedding (short and beautiful), and a great reception. People seemed to take to the song really well, and I think Kyle and I should think about going professional in the wedding singing career. While the lyrics to our song were original, I will admit that the chording came from Johnny Cash's Drive On. (Which, in its original form, is probably not a wedding-appropriate song.)

I've never made it a secret that weddings aren't always my favorite place to be. And during the afternoon yesterday, the thought kept running through my head, "Because these two people fell in love two years ago, I'm sitting in a long sleeved shirt in the middle of July!" But it was worth it! Congratulations Jill and Rob.

Till next time,
Jason
