All the Singles Laides...Put Your Hands Up!

While driving home after a fabulous dinner with my "Super Bridesmaid" the New Beyonce song "Single Ladies" came on and I think this is a fabulous song for the bouquet toss! Come on Single Ladies put your hands up!!! Though we aren't doing this at our reception I hope some singles ladies in some weddings real soon have fun!

When life is changing there is a soundtrack...

In all my major life changes (which I'm only 26 so there haven't been too many) I have attend an amazing concert of classic beautiful music that touches the soul and changes it forever. Before graduating from high school my parents took me to see Andre Bocelli. It was the most touching concert I have ever been to in my life and I will never forget it. When college graduation was around the corner my mom and I went to see Sarah Brightman. I love her music and here I was again at a concert that brought tears to my eyes and changed my outlook on life... that it is beautiful, and amazing and something to be cherished. Last night I saw Sarah Brightman again with my family. The wedding is around the corner and as I sat between my mom and dad I felt so fortunate to be there and to here such beautiful music with them. I actually got chill pumbs listening to her sing the Phantom of the Opera and cried when she sang Time to Say Good Bye. A song that I realized on my way home last night was sung at every one of the concerts I have mentioned. Like a sign from God saying its time to say good bye to the past and look ahead to the beautiful future, my special song on my soundtrack of life. I hope this song will maybe touch you... I plan on having it played on my exit from the reception (since I can't afford to have a firework display to it)

My first wedding dissappointment

Since my Fiance is from New Orleans I want to incorporate a wedding tradition from his background. We are planning on doing the second line dance at the reception. My first thought was to have this almost mini Mardi Gra parade as our exit. I wanted to book the Seed and Feed Abominable to make for a fun, festive exit. Unfortunately they are not available on our wedding date. If you want a fun twist for your wedding music. Look into them. Just looking at these fun photos makes me very tempted to change me night.

I'm in love with Steve

It may be a line from Sex and the City (I think it was "To Market To Market" episode) but I just love love love the smokey voice of Steve Tyrell. Check him out. He has great songs for first dances and daddy daughter dances. All brides know the infamous Father of the Bride song "The way you look tonight". His songs are slow, and typically standards. He covers a lot of Frank Sinatra. I plan on dancing with my daddy to one of his songs (I would post it, but since family read the blog and I want to keep it a secret you will have to wait till after the wedding)

Get Lost in the moment

I just love this song. It's a typical country wedding song, however I love the words and how Big and Rich picked up on so many sentimental parts of a wedding ceremony. Maybe you will play it at your wedding?
