3. Chris de Burgh - 'Lady In Red'
For my wife and me, it is "our" song. Okay, since you're twisting my arm, here's the story:
Not long after we began dating, one of my best friends was engaged and about to get married. So I invited her to come to the wedding with me.
The day arrived, and she showed up in a pretty red dress that she sewed herself. She had always lived in rural areas or in small towns, so that's what she was used to.
During the reception, we danced to that song. It fit perfectly and that night was the turning point in our relationship. I found out later that my friend pulled her aside and told her not to play games. If she was serious to let me know.
We've been married for almost 28 years now.
BTW, she sewed her wedding dress as well. Nothing extremely fancy, but beautiful.

I invited my girlfriend at the time to the wedding. I need to proofread more.

That is a wonderful story. Wishing you many, many more anniversaries and much happiness.
