I'm With You - Jamie Grace




I smile when you say my name
Cause no one's ever said it quite the same.
I listen it for it every day, Ya know, Ya know.
Both of them has a not to easy-to-be spoken name (in Indonesia).
Severine? Caesar?
That's the time for creativity to rules.
Along their journey, they've named each other with several nick names. (PS: It's a secret)
Every single name has a different joke. What do you expect from a joke? Of course a wide smile :D


When I'm with you, oooooooooooooo,
When I'm with you, oooooooooooooo,
It's like anything, everything,
That's been weighin' on me, falls by the wayside,
When I'm with you, oooooooooooooo,
I love bein' with you,

If you like to watch Star World, I bet that you've ever heard this song during the commercial.

I'm With You by Jamie Grace originally is a Christian song.
Despite the religious message in this song, this is an easy listening and catchy song.

S'aimer Sous La Pluie - Joe Dassin

They adore the rain.
Both of them were born in November, so that's not a surprise at all.
Caesar's secret obsession is to run in a soccer field during the rain.
Sevy's secret obsession is to just standing under the pouring rain watching the sky.
(They must have super luck to avoid being struck by the lightning :p)

S'aimer Sous La Pluie by Joe Dassin is a French song.
It literally means "Love in The Rain".
This is one of my fiancee's favorite song, isn't it Sev?

The Perfect Quote


Both of us are coming from mixed religion marriage.
So it's important to have something general. Our plan is that the only religious part go to the holy matrimony, or some prayer.
Of course when it comes to choosing the right word to be printed in the invitation, it could be tricky.
In Indonesia, it is common to quote something from the Bible or a verse from the Al Quran to be included in the first page of the invitation. We don't want to do that.
So the alternative is to quote a philosopher's quote.
Automatically, I search for Anthony de Mello's quote.
Why? I like his writing since the first time I read that during high school. (Do you know that a Sagittarius is The Philosopher in all the zodiac sign?)
Back to the quote, this is my short list:

Happiness is not something you acquire; love is not something you produce; love is not something you have; love is something that has you - The Land of Love
Before creation Love was. After creation love is made. When love is consummated, creation will cease to be, and Love will be forever -One Minute of Nonsense

But... Caesar didn't like those two. So I search another quotes.
There were two quotes that caught my eyes:

When there is love, there is live - Mahatma Gandhi
Il n'y a qu'un bonheur dans la vie, c'est d'aimer et d'ĂȘtre aimĂ©. - George Sands
(There is only one happiness in life -- to love and to be loved.)
I like Gandhi's quote, but Caesar said that it is a little pessimistic.
But he really likes the second one.

So, you've already known what is our choice.

Once Upon A Time (yes... this is a fairy tale)

Once upon a time,
you stumbled at your friend's wedding invitation. You saw the name of the bride and the groom.
Suddenly you realize that you've only known a little about their story.
Seems familiar? Yes of course, but we don't want it to be like that.
We want you to know about us, not coming only to shake our hands and say
"Congratulation!" 
and leave us on the stand while you are thinking
"I'm hungry, let's grab the food"... LOL *just kidding*  
"Let's take a funny picture together (a lot one) later during the photo session"

We want you to be relax and feel familiar with us. So it would be a great honor if you could spare just a little time to read this.
