next to you - our onsite wedding video

eversince our wedding, i've been wanting to post our avp and onsite online so our family and friends (esp those who weren't able to attend) can view it. i was so excited to discover google video and somehow managed to rip the dvd copy of our onsite to a file that it will accept (unfortunately, the trial ripper program i was able to download has a cap of 5 mins running time so i was only able to work on the onsite which was okay for now).

anyway, our onsite video is now live in google video but i can't seem to run the video that's embedded on my blog! aaarrrggghhh!!! i emailed google video support already and did what i was told but still can't seem to get our video running.

so i'll just direct you to the link where you can view our onsite wedding video. credit goes to jason magbanua's team who shot the video.
*it's best to pause the video until the entire stream is downloaded before playing it

a little (long?) background, the song being played is our theme song (cheesy i know, but it is OUR song). not a lot of people know it since it's an old song (panahon ni eric as i'd always say) which is good so it wouldn't be so baduy and overused. i still remember the day when HE decided it will be our song. we were still dating then and he was bringing me back to my house after our date when i decided we should drive a little bit more so we could be together for a while (i was enjoying his company). we ended up just driving round and around quezon memorial circle when the song was played in his car radio (his 105.1 crossover presents unwind II another classic crossover collection cd was playing *track 9*) and he said, "this is my song to you". so when we were planning for our wedding, it was non-negotiable that this song be played for our onsite video. i even had to burn a copy for jason since i wasn't sure if they could get hold of a copy of this song!

next to you
dan siegel

if i had me a bag of good wishes
there's no mystery to what i would do
i would use all my magical powers
and try to get next to you

i would bring you a field of flowers
as your lucky star would do
with my heart i would paint you a rainbow
if i could get next to you

there's so much we can share
however far too long

we both know that there's so much here
this is where i belong

late at night when i close my eyes
make believin' that you are here
dreamin' of the things we do
if i could get next to you

in my mind, ooh ooh, i have kissed you
and it feels like a thousand times
i'd lose track of all the hours
dreamin' i'm next to you

this is where i belong

late at night when i close my eyes
make believin' that you are here
dreamin' of the things we do
if i could get next to you

in my mind, ooh ooh, i have kissed you
and it feels like a thousand times
i'd lose track of all the hours
wishing and hoping
that I could get next to you
