"These Are for You," by Stephanie Cooper. On our first date, Valentine's Day, we walked around Nicollet and Boom Islands. When we got to the Paddleford Landing, my now-husband pulled a bag of chocolate-covered coffee beans from his pocket and said,looked at me kind of timidly, and said,"These are for you." A year later, our friend wanted to write and perform a song for our wedding and asked us for some ideas. I replied with the words from our first date, "These are for you." She wrote a walz so sweet and true—a universal love song, just for us.
