The song is arguably what FireHouse is most known for, and has been used as a first dance song at countless weddings since its release. In a 2005 interview, Snare commented "now I have the benefit of time to look back over this and there isn't a show that goes by where people don't come up to us and are like "'Love of a Lifetime' – we got married to that song!"{{cite web|url=http://www.rockeyez.com/interviews/int-firehouse-cj_snare.html|publisher=2005 Rock Eyez|accessdate=2007-12-30|title=C.J.
