► Listen to Wedding Season: Part One
Liner Notes
It’s Wedding Season. That season of life when everything is up in the air—the flights, the flowers, the friendships, the future.
Heads are in the clouds.
It’s the people and their promises. The big questions. The big answers. The vision and the indecision.
They’re making big moves. They’re making big mistakes. They’re buying rings. They’re having flings.
It’s the desire and the doubt. The one. The wonder. The one that got away.
They’re running to the altar and running for the hills. They’re running the numbers and running up the tab.
They’re pairing off and paring down. Getting down and settling down. Throwing up and growing up. They’re going big and going home.
It’s old souls. It’s new suits. A lifetime commitment. A rented tuxedo.
They’re in it for the love. They’re in it for the likes.
Love is in the air—beware. The bells are ringing. It’s Wedding Season.
