In 1974 and 1975, she recorded for Avco Records, and, in 1981, recorded for Plantation Records, her most recent record label. Page's most recent single to appear on any Billboard chart was the 1982 #80 country single, "My Man Friday". (She last appeared on the pop chart in 1968, with her version of O.C. Smith's hit, "Little Green Apples", and on the Adult Contemporary chart with "Give Him Love" in 1971.)

Page continued to record into the new millenium with the CDs BRAND NEW TENNESSEE WALTZ, SWEET SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS (2002), CHILD OF MINE (2003) and her last 2009 release BEST OF COUNTRY. Many of her songs have a strong beat to them that prelude rock 'n' roll. These titles include "Mister and Mississippi", "Detour" and "Cross Over the Bridge". In 1956, she married choreographer Charles O'Curran. They adopted two children, a daughter, Kathleen, and a son, Daniel O'Curran.
I Went To Your Wedding
Patti Page Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Although I was dreading
The thought of losing you
The organ was playing
My poor heart kept saying
"My dreams, my dreams are through"
You came down the aisle, wearing a smile
I uttered a sigh, and then whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness
Your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losin' you
You came down the aisle, wearing a smile
A vision of loveliness
I uttered a sigh, and then whispered goodbye
Goodbye to my happiness
Oh, your mother was crying
Your father was crying
And I was crying too
The teardrops were falling
Because we were losing you
The lyrics of Patti Page's song "I Went To Your Wedding" narrate a story of someone who attended their lover's wedding and had to witness them moving on with someone else. The first verse of the song expresses the singer's reluctance to attend the wedding because of the sadness it would bring them. The organ playing in the background serves as a constant reminder to the singer that this wedding marks the end of their love story. The lyrics "my dreams are through" portrays the feeling of hopelessness and despair that accompany the ending of a relationship.
The second verse talks about the arrival of the bride at the wedding, looking radiant in her white dress. The singer can't help but feel sad as they realize that their relationship with the bride is coming to an end. The line, "Goodbye to my happiness" indicates that the singer understands that their previous happiness with the bride is over. The third verse talks about how everyone at the wedding is crying, including the singer, the bride's parents, and the others present, but for different reasons. The singer is weeping because they are losing the person they loved, and the bride's parents are shedding tears of joy for their daughter's marriage.

I went to your wedding
I attended your wedding ceremony
Although I was dreading
Even though I was anxious or fearful about it
The thought of losing you
The idea that I would no longer have you as part of my life
The organ was playing
The musical instrument called an organ was being played
My poor heart kept saying
My emotional heart was speaking to me
"My dreams, my dreams are through"
My hopes and aspirations have ended
You came down the aisle, wearing a smile
You walked towards the altar with a happy facial expression
A vision of loveliness
Beautiful and attractive in appearance
I uttered a sigh, and then whispered goodbye
I let out a deep breath and then said farewell in a soft voice
Goodbye to my happiness
Saying farewell to my joy and contentment
Your mother was crying
Your mother was shedding tears
Your father was crying
Your father was shedding tears
And I was crying too
I also shed tears
The teardrops were falling
The tears were flowing
Because we were losing you
Because we would not have you in our lives in the same way anymore

我參加了你的婚禮 佩蒂佩姬
我參加了你的婚禮
儘管我痛苦萬分
因著將失去你的念頭
風琴正在演奏
我可憫的心訴說著：
我的夢想，我的夢想已結束
你步上走道，臉上戴著微笑
一幅充滿愛的景象
我輕輕嘆息，然後低聲道別
和我的幸福道別
你的母親在哭泣
你的父親在哭泣
我........也在哭泣
淚水不斷的滴落下來
因為，我們即將失去了你

When I was a young boy in the early 50s, this song was played frequently in our house. I loved it then and still do.

In every song she sang, you could hear every word and understand every word.

Do you ever wonder why her songs are so sad? In Tennessee Waltz, she lost her boyfriend to an old friend she introduced. In Changing Partners, she has the fear of losing her partner and wants to hold him forever. And this song, I Went To Your Wedding is another very sad one; she attends the wedding of the man she had dreams of marrying so she could say goodbye to her own happiness as she sees them walking down the aisle happily married. 😢😢😢
Jj Jackson
This is the sequel to "Tennessee Waltz." If he leaves you for your friend and marries her, throw your oldest shoes at him, telling him exactly what he did to you and go no contact. Do not go to his wedding! Why torture yourself? Realize he will probably be unfaithful to her as well.

This is better than the MCU Universe storylines lol

@erinpilla Lol. It is a beautiful but sad story if there will ever be made one out of these songs. Tearjerker, popcorn-worthy! 😊❤️
