So it's no surprise that one of my big wedding planning obsessions was the music. I spent hours and hours figuring out what music the string quartet should play, what songs we should use for the cake cutting ("Ice Cream" by Sarah McLachlan), garter toss ("Let's Get It On"), bouquet toss ("Ladies Night"), etc. I also compiled a list of music to play during dinner. To make it simple, I pulled together an iPod playlist in iTunes and took a screenshot to give to my dj. The guests raved and raved about how much they enjoyed the dinner music.
So, next time you need some good background music for a dinner party or just an evening home with your loved one, consider some of my favs:
"If being an egomaniac means I believe in what I do and in my art or music, then in that respect you can call me that ... I believe in what I do, and I'll say it." - John Lennon
I actually one-upped you, as I made CDs for my DJ, with implicit instructions on when to play each one. Luckily, my DJ was a friend, too, so he didn't mind the bossiness, but I just couldn't have it any other way. I, too, had songs for each occasion, each moment, and hopefully, everyone enjoyed the thoughtfulness.
ReplyDeleteAlso, we share a lot of the same songs on our lists, but I think you knew that!
You have great musical tastes...You should post more of your playlists so I can "steal" from them. Remember, without you, I'd never know about Marc Broussard. LOL
ReplyDeleteAlso, "More Than Anyone" is one of my faves for getting cozy with my hubby. It's on my "Get It On" playlist. ;-)
