as we all know, music makes the moment - which is why dave and i are having such a tough time deciding on what to play and when... choosing the right tunes to play at the right times - will affect the mood and tone of our big day.
that said - we have chosen "our" song. rather than doing the awkward first dance, we've decided to use the song to create our first moment as a married couple together and close ceremony by walking back down the aisle to it.
however, there are still so many other moments of the day that need to be filled with sound. from getting ready before hand, walking down the aisle, just after the ceremony, the dinner and the reception - we're realizing, we need a LOT of music!
and there are way too many options for music delivery. first, we need to decide if we want live music or try to arrange playlists on an ipod...
we absolutely love the sound of the steel drum, and especially the island vibe it gives. and, the drummers can wait for just the right moment to start up, drag it out stairway to heaven style if anyone is running late, or cut a song short when needed. however, it gives us a lot less control over what is actually played...
an ipod gives us complete control over the songs, however very little control over the timing. and then of course, there's actually choosing the songs to play. though my love of groove is in the heart by deee-lite is very well known, i'm sure the track on repeat would be enough to drive everyone else crazy.
perhaps a jamaican version of this guy would be the answer?
in all seriousness though, we're having fun listening and choosing songs/music at this point... hopefully we can narrow down our mega lists over the next few months... we are of course open to recommendations.
