She is the Best Thing

You Are the Best Thing from Dayn Arnold on Vimeo.

I got married August 22, 2010 and wanted to surprise my wife with our song. She had no idea I was sneaking around arranging a group of friends to play the song, and was totally shocked when we all assembled and started playing it. We never were able to practice the song as a full band, and even had to replace our drummer at the 11th hour as our original drummer's (and groomsman) wife had a baby that same weekend. Our new drummer hadn't heard the song until the morning of the wedding, and wasn't able to practice because it would ruin the surprise. Nothing too difficult, but that can feel a bit hectic. Actually, it was awesome to have Justin playing drums because he's Mandi's twin brother, and I'm pretty sure they have some sort of psychic connection that made the little song even better.

And yes, she is the best thing to ever happen to me.

A smile is what I wore through this whole video. Then, when Mandi ran up to you at the end, it was tears that I wore and an even bigger grin.

You guys are great for each other.

Keep reminding yourselves and each other, through the thicks and the thins, that you are, indeed, the best things.
