　　When most fathers discover their daughter is getting married, they set to work planning a witty speech. But when John Butcher's little girl tied the knot, he wanted to get one better than that. So the 50-year-old from Allington, Kent, spent 200 hours learning to sing so that he could surprise his daughter, Natalie, on her wedding day.
　　John had secret singing lessons for more than six months and practised at home so he could be perfect when he performed in front of 100 people on the big day.
　　John then sang a version of the Elvis classic “Always On My Mind” to his shocghter during her wedding reception in October. She said: “We had the most amazing day which was finished off perfectly with the surprise of my dad singing after the speech. I was in shoct touched by the choice of song and the amount of effort that had gone into the preparation. Everyone seemed to be as blown away as I was and it is something I will never forget.”
　　John's wife, Mel, 47, was equally as shocked and touched by her husband bursting into song. John said: “My wife Mel was in tears as she knew nothing about the performance.”
　　John said he came up with the idea to sing at the reception in April but as he admitted he wasn't previously able to carry a tune, he signed up for lessons to help him impress the wedding guests. He said: “I really can't sing and don't pretend to. I spoke to Darren in April about the idea and started lessons in May. I've had a lesson every other week and have practised the song for an hour a day since then.” Housewife Mel, said she was proud of her husband's efforts to make their daughter's day even more memorable.

　　I learned my first lesson from my grandparents when I was young. They both grew up in very large families and lived through the Great Depression. Saving for a rainy day was their life philosophy. Rather than seelfillment through material items, they chose to spend really simple life together with their family.
　　Over the years my grandparents notice dramatic changes in their community. Every year more farmland was destroyed to build larger and larger homes. As real estate(地产) prices rose, many of their neighbors sold their little homes and land. Soon theirs was the only small house surrounded by a sea of mansions(漂亮的住宅). My grandparents built and lived in a small 600-square-foot cottage for most of their adult lives. Lots of family members encouraged my grandparents to expand their little old house. But they didn't want a bigger one. They loved their little house and were content with what they had.
　　My grandparents avoided a consumptive (浪费的) lifestyle by painting and repairing the house themselves. They lived in a small home, but had a huge garden. They loved gardening and planting because it reduced their grocery bill, improved their health, and gave them an excuse to be outside. They also reused and recycled many things. For instance，they had driven the same car for over 15  years and didn't buy a new one until the old Chevrolet was worn out.
　　From my grandparents, I learned an important lesson: it is possible to live a simple life. My grandparents taught me that living a simple life isn't about self-deprivation(自我牺牲). Instead ,it's about giving yourself the time, freedom, and money to pursue your dreams. Becoming debt free, downsizing to a smaller home, and going out on foot instead of by car are good ways to take control of your life and start pursuing your dreams.
