What’s this? Oh just one of our wedding invitations addressed to Sarah McLachlan for me to give her tonight. Yes, that’s right, for me to hand deliver. I have VIP tickets to meet her backstage and sit front row at her concert at the Bank of America Pavilion in Boston tonight. This will be my 4th Sarah concert, but my first time with backstage passes and front row seats! The tickets were not cheap and the majority of the money went to help support and fund her music school in Canada. A fantastic cause! I just took a little money out of our wedding fund – no big deal! Sarah McLachlan has been my all time favorite singer/songwriter since I was in high school. Her music and her voice seriously saves my soul. And tonight I actually have the opportunity to tell her and thank her in person for being the one true sense of calm I can find when the world is full of anxiety and noise.
Now I realize expecting her to actually show up at our wedding is a serious long shot. I also realize it’s probably slightly crazy to invite her in the first place, but I’m sort of Crazy for Sarah so why the hell not?! If nothing else maybe she’ll at least fill out our little mad lib RSVP card and send it back?! Either way I am jumping for joy with excitement for her concert tonight and simply cannot wait to meet her. It’s a dream beyond my wildest dreams coming true. Tonight will literally be one of the coolest nights of my life. Feel free to stay tuned for upcoming blog posts with pictures!
Stay drawn to the rhythm readers!
