Anniversary Song about Fate: My Next Custom Gift Song

A Custom Anniversary Song

My next custom gift song is due in December, and it is for an anniversary gift of a woman who is in the Philippines to a man who is in Australia.  The lady wants a song that captures some of her blog posts.  The first thing I like to do when writing for someone is try to identify a major theme.  After reading a couple of her blog posts, and taking notes, I have identified some keywords.

Here are the keywords I collected from her writing:

FAIRY TALES- princess, castle, puffy dresses, shiny tiaras, knight in shining armor

CHANCE ENCOUNTERS- old school mates, gazes, seeing faces, not knowing names, not love at first sight, no formal acquaintance

DEVELOPING RELATIONSHIP- hold hands, hug, heart flutters, butterflies, conversations, questions, long distance, praying, family, friends, love, faith, God, blessed

Then, the overarching theme I found was FATE... and this fate ties together this irrational-like thinking of fairy tales with the real world difficulty of living in a long distance relationship.  Fate is what makes even the most difficult time of our lives take on a more important meaning.  Fate brings us together over and over, until we are slapped in the face with an unarguable fact that there is meaning and promise to what is happening.

The Plan for this Custom Anniversary Song

I would like to use fate as the ultimate theme in the song, and I will attempt to use the story of Charm and Aaron in order to back up the idea of fate in their lives.  Then, because it is an anniversary son, I will attempt to make the entire thing relevent for the rest of their lives.  This is the task at hand, so if you have any ideas, suggestions, or want to make any other comment, feel free to give me some more perspective.
