Just remember, darling, you belong to me.

It seems as though the biggest debate thus far (aside from the fact that we wanted to do this in Vegas....) has been what music we want in the ceremony. Us both having very musical pasts, presents, and inevitably musical futures has made what music we choose crucial to the atmosphere we want to provide our guests with. Walking down the aisle to Pachelbel's "Canon in D" just wasn't cutting it, but I don't want to give the the previously mentioned conservative grandfather (as well as rest of our more elderly family members) a heart attack. It was also kind of a big deal that we had as much live music as physically possible.

So we contracted some of our amazingly talented friends and family to fill in some of the blanks. My wonderful brother, Josh, has willingly handed over the dibs he had on the song "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds. He's also agreed to not only play this masterpiece, but to sing it while our wedding party is walking. That was one VERY big check off my list, because I couldn't very well have 10 of the most important people in my life walking to just anything. I don't know how we're going to get a baby grand into the venue, but we'll get it done. It may involve some Grand Theft Piano, which at that point I don't think many of us will be horribly opposed to. (Which reminds me, if you happen to have a baby grand piano lying around, call me.)






Also on this list is our amazing friend Jake, who so
graciously agreed to sing while I walk down the aisle. At this point, we're not sure to what, but his agreement to do so without asking any questions was an amazing test of character that he passed with flying colors. I am so excited to hear what him and Steven come up with, since Steven will be playing the guitar for him. Just to give you a little bit of a hint since I know you're just DYING to know what song will lead up to the most important 20 minutes of my life, we're looking at 2 different ones that I'm giving Jake and Steven the final say on. I'm pretty sure whatever they decide to do will make me bawl my head off. I suggest you pack plenty of tissues, my friends, this one's bound to be a tear jerker.






I'm pretty sure this wedding will be WAY more like a rock concert then a spiritual ceremony, and personally, I don't think either of us would have it any other way.

Until next time,
Jana
