This song would make a great first dance or recessional for any wedding. This has been one of my favorite love songs since its first appearance on Grey's Anatomy back in 2007 (that show used to be cool, OK). This recording comes from a 1971 concert, and was sung not just about a marriage, but also about the progress of black Americans in the wake of the civil rights movement. used his song "Keep On Pushing" at many of his peaceful demonstrations.
Mayfield had become a civil rights icon as Martin Luther King Jr. The original version of this song was recorded by brother and sister duo, The Carpenters, for a bank commercial, which sort of zaps some of the romantic magic from that rendition, but this live cover by Curtis Mayfield captures the lyrics in an entirely new light. "We've Only Just Begun" - Curtis Mayfield They also make great music, including this song, for which the lyrics are even sweeter than a double-chocolate cookie sandwich stuffed with salted caramel ice cream.

This decision comes after months of arguments, including some amazing legal knockout punches thrown by 82-year-old Justice and feminist icon Ruth Bader Ginsburg (all hail the Notorious RBG) back in April. In a landmark decision, the Supreme Court declared that couples in all 50 states have a constitutional right, be they gay or straight, to marry each other and receive equal financial and legal benefits under the law. Yup, SCOTUS says it's about damn time everybody in this country have the same rights when it comes to getting hitched.
