Jazzing up an Anniversary

Yesterday was our one-year wedding anniversary and we celebrated by going to see Michael Bublé sing at the Brisbane Entertainment Centre. It was an amazing night and extra special to Pen and I because we used quite a few of his songs at our wedding ceremony and reception last year.

As expected, Bublé gave a spectacular performance and connected with the audience exceptionally well. My favourite song for the night had got to be Me and Mrs Jones. Unfortunately for Pen, his much anticipated Home was ruined by the crowd’s joyful cheers when a photo slideshow of Michael in Brisbane appeared on the screen. To make things worse, we could only see a fraction of the screen as we were seated towards the corner of the stage.

What was truly worth mentioning though, was the opening act by Naturally Seven. They are an award-winning gospel, rhythm and blues, jazz and soul vocal play crew from New York City. Their performance blew everyone away – the “instruments” (drums, bass, electric guitar, etc) you hear in their songs are all their voices! You really have to see it to believe it. See the You Tube video below.

Can’t believe we’ve been married for one whole year! It still feels like we just got married a few months ago. How time flies. God has blessed us so much over the past few months and has kept our relationship going stronger day by day. More exciting times ahead I’m sure, as we prepare to move into our new house in the next few months.
