Ask Amy: Widower ponders the ticktock of moving on

Amy Dickinson, Tribune Content Agency on

I sang my spouse down the aisle 10 years ago, and we’d both do it again.

What do you have against singers?

– Trying to Understand

Dear Trying: I have my own particular and checkered history as a lounge singer in Washington, DC.

I assure you I have nothing against singers. My statement to “never marry a man who wants to sing you down the aisle” (unless he is Tony Bennett) was sardonic, and yet the underlying point is one I stand firm on: In my opinion, a wedding ceremony should be a shared experience, not a performance.

 

It sounds like you and your wife married the right people. I hope you’ll continue to make beautiful music together.
