Moment: Getting married to my most fantastic husband, David (aka Monkey). This was our wedding favor CD for our guests. We threw it together in classic slapdash Williams style the week before the wedding (even though we had planned the playlist for months before the wedding--why we procrastinate, I have no answer). We were originally going to do our first dance to "A Rocking Good Way," since we had taken many weeks of swing dancing before the wedding date, but we chickened out and ended up dancing our first dance to Harry Connick, Jr.'s "A Wink & A Smile," which, in the end, I think was even more fitting. We got so many great compliments for the disc after the wedding. Monkey and I listened to a copy of this for most of the first week of our honeymoon, which we spent doing mini roadtrips around Vermont, New Hampshire, and Massachusetts in a rental fat-cat Caddy. Anytime I hear any of these songs, I am taken right back to our wedding and honeymoon. It was such a magical few weeks!
