Music

I have been thinking...

A lot of 80's/Disco music is grasping my attention, and it's great for dancing! I must also incorporate some DISCO POLO! Hehe.

I would like a live band, at least at some point, doesn't have to be all the time, and then I was thinking...do we really need a DJ? We can hook up a computer, turn on Media Player/ Winamp and put it on RANDOM! Haha! Would save us a few bucks, and I think it would have the same effect.

With this in place, we could have someone...perhaps my brother, near by so that if someone would want to make a toast, or if something needed to be announced he could fade into an ambient background music.

The last wedding I was at, they had the chicken dance! This will be a must have.

Love Me Tender - Elvis Prestley

This song randomly came to mind today - Perfect for all the Elvis fans that will be at the wedding.

Searched Top Wedding Songs, picked a random list...lol.

Flowers...







There will be a lot of flowers...just can't go wrong with flowers. I am sure we will have a lovely bunch of bunches, lol.

Jonathan Idea



So cute! I wonder if he would go for it, haha.

For me? OF COURSE! (^_~)

Dress Ideas





I had a plan for my dress, I want the gown like flowiness, but the top is still under debate...and so is the material. I still have lots of time. Heh.

Theme





Obviously. Lol.

But the colour scheme is what I am going for, not quite the dresses.

Found another bunch of ideas:

Setting the Date

Originally, we planned for August or early September. Before school and so that maybe we could get away for a night or two as a pre-honeymoon. [Without the kids...lol] As I was checking out the dates, I wanted our wedding to be on the 24th. My birthday and his birthday are both on the 24th. I thought it would be a nice detail, probably silly, but as it happens, July has a 24th on a Saturday. And so the decision was made...by me.

Wedding Day: July 24th, 2011

Wedding Adventure!

This wedding is going to be something exciting. There will be planning! And so I will be starting to jot my ideas down, so that as we are pulling the show together I will have some sort of reference.

Two souls with but a single thought,
Two hearts that beat as one.

-Friedrich Halm

Remember that happiness is a way of travel, not a destination.
-Roy Goodman

Now join hands, and with your hands your hearts.

-William Shakespeare

There is nothing nobler or more admirable than when two people who see eye to eye keep house as man and wife, confounding their enemies and delighting their friends.
-Homer
