Come On Get Higher

Welcome back to the musical journey through my relationship. This is another song that was “instrumental” to my personal love story. When my husband and I were planning our wedding, I had my heart set on dancing our first dance to the song, “When God Made You” by Newsong. My husband, on the other hand, wanted to dance to the 2009 hit love song “Come on Get Higher” by Matt Nathanson. To say I was sooooo against it doesn’t even begin to convey how much I did not want to dance to that song. Besides, I picked out my husband-and-wife-first-dance song lightyears before he did.

But the day before our wedding, I had an epiphany: it was his wedding too, and as long as I was dancing with him, it didn’t matter what song we danced to.

So I grabbed the DJ and switched out the songs without Preston knowing about it. The day of the wedding, we took our places for the first dance. When the DJ hit play, Preston just beamed and pulled me close to him. It was one of the best surprises I’ve given him.
