Wedding Lull…
It seems we’re in a bit of a lull right now. I’ve been working diligently on the invitations and even started making some of the Thank You cards. However, with all the big decisions out of the way, I find we don’t really have much to do at the moment.
I guess we should enjoy it.
There is one thing that’s been on our minds and we just need to keep brainstorming about it and that is Ceremony music. Thanks to some friends we will have an acoustic guitar player for the ceremony. I’m really excited about that and think it will really fit the “mood” but we’re having trouble thinking of songs to have him play. I’d like to get a list to him soon so that he has time to learn anything he doesn’t already know. Who knew this would be so hard?
Right now we’ve got a list of possible songs – a bunch of Beatles songs and a couple of Cure songs and one piece that I will keep secret because I think it might end up being my walking down the aisle song.
We are open to suggestions.
Hopefully we’ll have more interesting things to post about soon. The wedding is just about 5 months away!

My older brother is playing acoustic guitar for our ceremony, and we’re also unsure about what to have him play. At this point we know we’d like a sort of reprise/theme of what will be our first dance, and one surprise for our recessional, but otherwise we’re stumped (though, admittedly, we haven’t spent enough time on it).
Good luck!

Awesome, I like the reprise/theme of the 1st dance idea. Way to go!
It’s just funny, because we like music, so you’d think this would be easy, but it’s not.
Good Luck to you guys too!

Just a thought…Maybe consider your guests sitting there, How about songs that relate to their wedding. Like love songs from the 40’s,50’s 60’s…I won’t be upset if you don’t play”Laura’s Theme ” from Dr. Zhivago…but it might be neat if you could find out music that other friends or relatives might have attached to their weddings ‘ .Is That too crazy? Might be tough to pull off…but just an idea.
