A duet for two marimbas that is upbeat, fun to play, pretty and useable for a wedding ceremony. The syncopation and rhythmic exchange is reminiscent of the dance like quality of marriage, as two people are moving through life together in a cohesive unit. The last note, to be left unresolved, communicates that a wedding is merely the beginning to a life-long commitment. The piece is written for two players on 5.0 octave instruments with 4 mallets each.
