We met with Gordon after a Friday night show in Merilleville, IN. We had actually played 'Beautiful' before our wedding in 1989.
We told Gord this, after which he gave a "That's Wonderful" type of moan and proceeded to give my wife Loretta a big hug. We told Gordon we were seeing him in Elgin, IL the next night and asked if he could dedicate 'Beautiful' to us the next night. He wrote down our request with our names and put the slip of paper in his pocket.
This was the first time we had ever met Gordon - what an evening !!!!!!!
The next night in Elgin, before Gordon started 'Beautiful' he says to the audience - "This song goes out to Kelly and Loretta - for their 10 year anniversary".
Needless to say, this moment was and still is the most memorable moment for my wife and I for any GL concert - we've seen Gord 13 times as of last week. We still even have the concert review from the Elgin paper that mentions this dedication.
Good stuff !!!!!

My wife and I also had "Beautiful" played at our wedding in 1981. That's definitely a moment for the ages, Kelly. Thanks for sharing it!
