8 days to go!
Last night we had our final meeting with our DJ. Logan is a friend of a friend ... and was the DJ at my matron of honor's wedding last May. He is very easy to work with and very open to the fact that we picked out every single song to be played at our ceremony AND reception. We also created a play list for him and made him CD's that contained all the music (some of the stuff he never would have been able to find on iTunes ... or anywhere but in Jon's massive music collection).
We have a good mix of fun and upbeat songs & slow dancing songs & songs that express Jon's musical preferences. I also slipped in there some of my favorite songs ... which are way more mainstream than anything Jon listens to.
Our DJ was pretty amazed and said "you do realized that you just did my job for me, right?" Well ... that's okay. At least we know we won't be hearing any music that we don't like! Our DJ is the best of putting up with us and being okay with the control freak that I am!

68: Music is not my specialty
68 days to go!
We were fortunate enough to book the same DJ that my matron of honor, Kylie, used - who happens to be her sister's friend. Logan, the DJ, is laid back and is totally on board with the fact that Jon is obsessed with music and has pretty much picked out 1/2 of all the songs he wants played during our reception. I have had very little influence in this area and I'm okay with that. Jon is the music guy - and a lot of the music he wants played is unique to his style and music preferences. Luckily during the course of our relationship he had enlightened me to a lot of new music and I'm 100% confident that I will enjoy every single piece of music he picked.
We are working together to pick the music for our ceremony and the music for the special moments of our reception (cake cutting, garter & bouquets tosses, last dance, etc). That is one of the goals we hope to accomplish tonight. We are meeting with our DJ next Monday so we want to have a lot of this taken care of before then so we can give him the CD's with the music on them (a lot of the music Jon listens to is not mainstream and Logan more likely than not does not have - so we told him we would supply it along with the play lists). I'm anxious to see what we agree upon ... I'll be sure to post our decisions after they have been chosen!

Florist and DJ ... check!
On Saturday we sent in the deposit check for the florist ... we are using East Sac Florist - the same florist Kylie used for her wedding back in May - Kylie went to school with owner, Jenn. Jon and I are not really "flower" people so don't be surprised when you don't see flowers everywhere. You can check out some of Jenn's work at www.eastsacflorist.com - there are even some photos from Kylie's wedding on there :)
Last Thursday we met with Logan aka DJ Jumping Bean. He is a friend of Kylie's sister, Mo, and was the DJ at Kylie's wedding. We love referrals from Kylie! We are very excited that Logan will be the DJ at our wedding ... Jon will be hand selecting most of the music that will be played ... and we have a few surprises up our sleeves :)
Tonight we will be meeting with Village Cake Shoppe to do a cake tasting and discuss the cake for our wedding! This week we will also be purchasing my "something blue" garter set and the cake topper, toasting flutes, and cake knives ... so check back for updates about those items!!!
