43: Music is the key to the soul

43 days to go!

Earlier this week we met with our DJ Logan and discussed our wedding day time line and our music choices and preferences. For those of you who don't know it - Jon is a music fanatic. We must have thousands of CD's laying around our house. And he doesn't exactly listen to mainstream music. His favorites include The Grateful Dead, Keller Williams, The String Cheese Incident, moe., Gov't Mule, Phish, and on and on. So, I pretty much told Jon to work on finding and picking the non-mainstream and non-traditional wedding reception music that he wanted to hear and start a play list that we could give to the DJ.

At the meeting this week with the DJ we were able to give him a printed time line that included the ceremony music, the "special" music (entrance to reception, first dance, cake cutting, garter toss, bouquet toss, last dance, etc.) and all the other music that Jon has requested to be played. Of course we could never pick every single song to be played so instead we gave the DJ a list of preferred music and music preferences and asked him to stay away from some particular types of music (rap and country, mainly - as Jon is not a fan).

I think the end result is going to be exactly the right mix we are looking for and I think Logan is exactly the right DJ to put it all together and pull it off for us!

AND I may have mentioned before that we've got a few surprises lined up for the reception :)

Tomorrow is my bridal shower! Check back soon for recap postings of the event!!!
