Creative Suggestions:
Rain in the forecast? Instead of letting it spoil you mood, why not celebrate it? “Come Rain or Come Shine” by either Ray Charles or Billie Holiday is a romantic notion that can brighten anyone’s day.
Long Engagement? Etta James’ “At Last” aptly punctuates an extended prenuptial period with a soulful, heartfelt sentiment.
