Where the bouquet wentchay
This is a song by singer-songwriter chay, written from the perspective of a female friend celebrating the bride’s wedding.
While it wholeheartedly conveys congratulations as a friend, as suggested by the title “Where the Bouquet Goes,” it also sweetly expresses the feeling of “I want to be the next one to find happiness!” If this is the first wedding among your group of friends, it might be nice for all of you to sing this song together as a gift.
Of course, performing it as a guitar-and-vocal piece like chay would also be lovely.
