Motivated by the punk revolution, the band formed as a standard guitar/bass/drums rock unit in 1977. Taking their group's name from the section divider in a greeting card display stand, members Layne Rico (synthesizers), Keith Silva (vocals/synthesizers) and Scott Simon (saxophone/synthesizers) kept the outfit running with its original instrumentation until 1978. In 1979, the three decided to re-form the band, using rhythm machines and synthesizers.
Much like the group's most obvious sources of inspiration -- electronic trailblazers Kraftwerk and Suicide -- Rico, Silva, and Simon viewed their band as coming firmly from the rock tradition. In interviews, they claimed to have little in common with then-contemporary synth-driven acts like Depeche Mode and Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark, who they decried as gimmicky fluff.
On their own Design label, Our Daughters Wedding made their vinyl debut in the summer of 1980 with "Nightlife," a three-song 7." In November of that year, the band released its second single, "Lawnchairs," which quickly gained attention on college radio and in the dance clubs in major U.S. cities. Based on the strength of the record's showing, EMI America signed the group and re-released "Lawnchairs," which reached Number 49 on the British charts and peaked at Number 31 on the Billboard disco chart. The group followed up with a 12" EP., "Digital Cowboy" (1981) and an album, Moving Windows (1982). Unable to recapture the chart success of "Lawnchairs," the band broke up in 1983.

Lyrics
She's more than just a pretty face
In a late-night bar
More than just a pair of tight jeans
Sitting in your car
She's more than a last call kiss
Or a one-night stand
Remember boy, you weren't the first to hold her hand
She's somebody's daughter
She's somebody's everything
She's somebody's little girl
Even if she's grown up and moved away
She's somebody's whole world
She's somebody's baby
And if you don't treat her right
Hers won't be the only heart you're breaking
She's somebody's daughter
She's somebody's daughter
Her daddy bought her, her first car
Taught her how to drive
Scared her senior prom date under that porch light
Her mama wiped away the tears
From her first heartbreak
And said, "Honey, he ain't good enough for you anyway"
She's somebody's daughter
She's somebody's everything
She's somebody's little girl
Even if she's grown up and moved away
She's somebody's whole world
She's somebody's baby
And if you don't treat her right
Hers won't be the only heart you're breaking
(She's somebody's daughter)
She's a picture on the mantle up above a fireplace
She's pigtails blowing out candles on her birthday cake
She's driving off to college, tear in her momma's eyes
Yeah, she's a daddy's girl, better treat her right
'Cause she's somebody's daughter
Yeah, she's somebody's daughter
She's somebody's whole world
She's somebody's baby
And if you don't treat her right
Hers won't be the only heart you're breaking
She's somebody's daughter
(Daughter, daughter)
She's somebody's daughter
(Daughter, daughter)
Hey, eh
(She's somebody's daughter, daughter)
She's somebody's whole world
(She's somebody's daughter, daughter)

My heart hurts for you 😥 I lost my mom in 2012 & I'd love to tell you that it will get easier unfortunately it don't we just learn how to deal with it differently through the years or well that's at least thats what I think! I'm really sorry that you have to feel this Horrible pain I wish no one had to feel what it feels like... & I pray hopefully that you can find a little peace knowing she's definitely in a better place then we are that's what I truly believe🤗 all you can do now is make her proud of you ❤
I seriously love this quote...
It has been said, "A person dies twice: once when they take their final breath, and later, the last time their name is spoken."
Just Talk about her all the time any chance you get so much that even people that didn't get to meet her while she was alive still feels like they knew her just Because of how vividly you talked about her❤💯👌🏻
