"Sing" The Marriage Proposal Song


So today I tell you a story about me and Brenda. As our regular readers know, we've been wed for over 37 years. The thing is I love her more now than ever. She's the kind of person every man wants for a friend. It was on a sandy beach under a golden Connecticut sky at sunset that I proposed to her. A remarkable date night. We've been holding hands ever since. 


1817 Date Nights

So far Brenda and I have shared 1817 date nights together. Three of the most special date nights ever were rather recent. We call them our video date nights. We like watch Youtube videos of family members singing together in their cars or of fathers taking their baby daughters out on a first date night. We especially like marriage proposal videos, couples getting married and wedding receptions.  The latest addition to our date night video collection was a young man proposing marriage and marrying his bride on the same day.




Well, weeks later after Brenda was tending to her duties supporting her mother and sister I felt inspired to write a song called "I Give My Love To You", It's dedicated to Brenda, for her friendship, hard work, generosity and close ties to all in the family. I presented the song on our 1817th date night. Join us in celebrating the release of the "On Our Special Day" album by posting your proposal story or a video to this blog in the comments section or email it to fimarkhome@gmail.com with a link to the video.

Congratulations To April, May and June Brides

A special shout out and congratulations to all our April, May and June Brides and Fiancees. 

It's a season of love, growth, giving, letting go and coming full circle. As you plan your wedding remember to capture the essence of guidance given, wisdom shared and nurturing from parents, guardians and all those special supportive people in your life. With that sentiment here is a gift from me to you. My newly released musical score, "On Your Special Day."




"On Your Special Day" by Mark Askew

On Your Special Day

Last year I composed a musical score, "On Your Special Day", for a family drama, It centered around a celebrated relationship between a father and his daughter. On the eve of his daughters wedding day a father sits at his piano reflecting on giving his daughter away. The score would carry us through the life of the child leading to the father daughter dance. This music video of real people and events in my life conceptualizes that. 

I had the pleasure of playing the musical score and similar video for a group of 60 last month. The tears and smiles told me it struck a cord in them as well. I hope it does the same for you.
