To The Outer Rim and Back
There are some moments where music and love align so perfectly that they take your breath away. Jenny and Dan’s vow renewal was one of those moments — and I had the privilege of creating a HeartSong just for them.
The Inspiration
For Jenny and Dan, their love story has always been filled with unique phrases and symbols that mean everything to them. Their “walk-out song” at their wedding ten years ago was Fly Me To The Moon by Frank Sinatra — a classic that’s still their song. Jenny affectionately calls him “Dan the Man,” and together they share a saying that captures their devotion: “I love you to the outer rim and back.”
All of those elements found their way into their personalized song, “To The Outer Rim and Back.”
The Song
Here’s a look at the lyrics that became the soundtrack to their vow renewal:
Verse 1
Ten years gone, and the fire still glows,
Through every high and the life you chose.
Two little stars, Liljah and Henri shine,
A love that’s steady, stood the test of time.
Chorus
So fly me to the moon, where our story began,
Forever in love with Dan the Man.
From this world to the stars, there’s no turning back,
I love you to the outer rim and back.
Verse 2
Through every laugh, every tear, every dance,
You built a forever with more than chance.
A vow renewed, a promise made,
A love like yours will never fade.
Chorus
So fly me to the moon, where our story began,
Forever in love with Dan the Man.
From this world to the stars, there’s no turning back,
I love you to the outer rim and back.
Outro
Ten years today, and the best yet to come,
With love, with family, all wrapped as one.
The Moment
During the ceremony, Jenny and Dan slow danced to their song for the very first time, surrounded by family and friends. I’ll never forget watching their faces as the lyrics unfolded — pure surprise, recognition, and joy all at once.
Dan walked over afterward and gave me the biggest hug, clearly moved and touched. Jenny couldn’t stop listening; later that night she told me she replayed the song a few times while reading through the lyrics, amazed by how perfectly it reflected their love story.
Why It Matters
That’s what I love most about writing HeartSongs — they don’t just mark an occasion, they become part of it. “To The Outer Rim and Back” wasn’t just background music; it was a living memory stitched into Jenny and Dan’s celebration, a reminder of the promises they’ve kept and the love that continues to grow.
Here’s to Jenny and Dan — ten years down, and the best yet to come. 💜
