THE BAR SONG - In Celebration for Nat & Eryn's wedding September 4, 2004 -Written by Me Nat was kinda bored one day so he got up on his bicycle and tooled around Cambridge and Somerville He found himself in Davis Square Felt thirsty for an ice cold beer So he popped into a trendy new bar called the Joshua Tree Well he sat down at a barstool fixed his gaze up at the game The Red Sox were pummeling the Yankees zero to nine He was minding his own business when he felt a tap on his shoulder and he turned to see a sight for sore eyes She had beautiful big green eyes a head of golden curls Nat was stunned by the vision of this girl She looked him in the eye Beaming with a wide smile and said, "excuse me, but is your name Ely?" It took Nat a moment to register So blown away was he by this girl But he compossed himself enough to answer her And while Nomah was up at bat He turned to her cool as a cat and replied, no, my name is Nat (that's Nat, with an "N", no not Matt, not Nate, Nat!) This girl she seemed dissapointed as she scanned the room once more And she blushed and apologized You see I was supposed to meet a blind date here But I don't know what he looks like So if it's ok with you I'd like to wait right here (Nat said, sure, pull up a stool) Hello, my name is Eryn and I was born and raised in Vermont so Nat just had to ask, oh do you like to ski? Why yes I rather love it, she said, and in fact I'm not too shabby When it comes to downhill if you ask me (Cool, Nat thought, I wonder if she could keep up with Turbo and Avalanche and the G-Man?)

Nat bought Eryn a cold drink and as they sat there together Something seemed to click for both of them Well the afternoon just flew by and the conversation flowed like wine And they both felt quite smitten by the end of the day Nat got Eryn's phone number and a big piece of her heart And held his breath that she could be the One And Eryn later met Ely but the chemistry just didn't fly and secretly she hoped that Nat would call Call he did not long after that and soon they realized the simple fact That they were falling head over heels in love One year later Nat got down on his knee took her hand and said you won't you please Make me the happiest man in the world and be my wife This golden girl with the easy grace said Yes of course, name the time and place So now here we all are together from far away We have the distinct pleasure to celebrate Be witness to this wedding day For Mr. Nathanial John Marden Seavey and Ms. Eryn Francis McKewan (soon to be Mrs. "See Bee") So the moral of this sweet true tale is one they say usually does not prevail But in this case proves the myth to be untrue Was it fate or was it destiny That they met that day at the Joshua Tree All I can say is, Hell Ya, I'm glad they did! Well they say your love will not go far If you meet each other in a bar But now we know sometimes that isn't true Well they say your love will not go far If you meet each other in a bar But for Nat and Eryn for Eryn and Nat for these two love birds That isn't true! Congratulations, we love you!
