Love’s In Need Of Love Today, send yours in right away.

/0 Comments/in /by

Stevie Wonder’s “Love’s In Need Of Love Today” was the first song that came into my head when I woke up this morning and heard about the terrible events following the Ariana Grande concert in Manchester.

The song is track 1 on side 1 of the “Song’s In The Key Of Life” album which was released in September of 1976 – it’s a classic album, so many of Stevie’s are. Posting a Stevie Wonder song is also appropriate because he’s worked with Ariana (at least once to my knowledge) on the song “Faith” from the film “Sing” (Click here for a video)

The World was a different place in 1976, so much has changed for the better and yet we still face so many problems. The fact that someone took this terrible action against innocent people, many of them children, is beyond belief … and yet it happened. So there can be no doubt that Love really is in need of love today.

“Good morn or evening friends, here’s your friendly announcer.
I have serious news to pass on to everybody.
What I’m about to say could mean the world’s disaster,
could change your joy and laughter to tears and pain

It’s that Love’s in need of love today.
Don’t delay, send yours in right away.
Hate’s goin’round breaking many hearts,
stop it please before it’s gone too far.

The force of evil plans to make you its possession,
And it will if we let it destroy everybody.
We all must take precautionary measures if love and peace you treasure,
then you’ll hear me when I say …

Oh that Love’s in need of love today.
Don’t delay, send yours in right away
Hate’s goin’ round breaking hearts
Stop it please before it’s gone too far”

Something New “Love Laughter and Happily Ever After”!

/0 Comments/in , /by

“Love Laughter and Happily Ever After” is the title of my new weekly newsletter. I say new but I’ve just sent out edition number 4, so I guess it’s a month old now and it’s growing fast. In fact I have over one hundred subscribers to “Love, Laughter and Happily Ever After” already.

The title of the newsletter is basically my favourite, simple toast to offer at a wedding … “please raise your glasses, to Love Laughter and Happily Ever After ~ Cheers!” The plan is to find three things to talk about each week. Something I love, something that made me laugh and something that will help you create an amazing wedding day to begin your “happily ever after”.

So far, in the “Love” section, I’ve talked about Nannies as Flower Girls, Fuerteventura, the TV show “A Very British Hotel” and my love for what I do.

“Laughter” is usually a YouTube clip featuring people like Peter Kay, Anna Morris, Friends and a clip from the film “Bridesmaids”.

The “Happily Ever After” section has included information about where to start with your planning, how to get people to dance at your wedding, how to choose your venue and this weeks edition focuses on advice for ceremony music and includes a link to the full version of the booklet I’ve written about this. Music For Wedding Ceremonies

Actually there are four things because there is always a “Life Sounds Better To Music” in the p.s. at the bottom of the letter. I’ve featured songs by Gilbert O’Sullivan, Ed Sheeran and Stormzy, Christina Perri and The Beatles

If you’d like to receive “Love Laughter and Happily Ever After” each week just drop me and an email and I’ll add you to the list. Please also get in touch if there’s something you think would make interesting content or have any questions. REMEMBER, you don’t have to be one of my clients, I’m just trying to help as many people as possible.

Here’s a very quick video I did about it when I was away recently in Fuerteventura … which reminds me, I really should post a blog about that ~ Cheers!
