"We've Only Just Begun" is a hit single by The Carpenters, written by Roger Nichols (music) and Paul Williams (lyrics). Ranked at #405 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of "The 500 Greatest Songs of All Time", it is frequently used as a wedding song.
The song was originally recorded by Smokey Roberds, a friend of Nichols, under the name "Freddie Allen". It debuted in a wedding-themed television commercial for Crocker National Bank in California in the winter of 1970 with Williams on vocals. Hal Riney, founder of the San Francisco-based advertising agency Hal Riney & Partners, commissioned the song to help Crocker appeal to young people. The song played over footage of a young couple getting married and just starting out. Direct reference to the bank was left out, in part to make the song more marketable. The commercial was very popular and Crocker National's business flourished.
Richard Carpenter saw the commercial and guessed correctly that it was Paul Williams (both of them were under contract to A&M records). Carpenter ran into Williams on the record company's lot and asked if a full-length version was available. Although it had only two verses and no bridge, Williams confirmed that there was a bridge and an additional verse, forming a complete song; he and Nichols went on to write them. Carpenter selected the composition for the duo's third single and included it on the LP Close to You.

http://paulwilliamsconnection.org/ Paul Williams (now President of ASCAP) at the Bluebird Cafe, Nashville during Tin Pan South on March 28, 2012. Paul Williams is an Academy Award-winning American composer, musician, songwriter, and actor. Evergreen was cowritten with Barbara Streisand and they won a Grammy in 1979 for Song of the Year.
Who's the only man to ever write songs for Barbra Streisand, Warren Beatty, John Travolta, and Kermit the Frog? That would be Paul Williams. A six-time Academy Award nominee (and one-time winner), Paul sits down with director Stephen Kessler ("Paul Williams Still Alive") to discuss his amazing career. There might even be a little singing as well.
This 1970 debut under his own name features singer/lyricist Paul Williams working with songwriter Roger Nichols, resulting in a set of bright, upbeat pop -- highlighted by the sparkling title track (also recorded by the Monkees on their Instant Replay LP of the previous year). Williams' amiable, Elton John-like vocals carry the tunes here, most notably the anthemic title track. With its buoyant '70s horn-and-string arrangements, the record sounds charmingly dated, making it ideal for aficionados of that era
