This One Is

Wedding Spoiler Alert

everyone cries at the end.

Here's why:

Nestled between 2 dark and rainy days in Tahoe, my brother married his once-girlfriend, then-fiancée, now-wife, on a beautiful sunny day in May. I taught myself how to play guitar about three years ago and wanted to do something extra special for my wedding toast. So I smuggled my guitar from Seattle to Tahoe, snuck it in to the venue, and surprised 100+ people with a song that I had written for my brother and his bride, titled "This One Is". I wrote the entire song in about an hour and didn't change a word of it from my first draft. It's a simple song, but the best one I've written.

Brothers.

What a baby.

Thanks so much to the brides cousin, Ben, for capturing it for me. I gave him a 1-minute notice that I was performing a song after my speech and he nailed it!
