We.heart.music

Music has always been a huge part of my life. I've not really put my heart and soul into playing a particular instrument, and I couldn't really sing a note if my life depended on it, but I.heart.music. And so does Brian.

We are extremely happy with our DJ, but we also are very into picking some of the songs that are going to be played at our wedding. I'm not talking about the songs that we will definitely be picking like our first dance, our father/daughter dance, our mother/son dance, etc. I'm talking about all the additional songs that we'll be hearing throughout the night.

Now, I think it would be a bit difficult to put together an entire list of songs for our DJ to play through the night. Quite frankly, if we were going to do that, we should've downloaded a playlist to our Ipod and hooked it up instead of hiring a human. But, what, I'm wondering, is the limit? How do you tell your DJ that you have an entire list of songs that you want to hear on your wedding day? Are we supposed to actually give him a list? Is that polite?

We are both confident that our DJ will come through and play music that we like (that's one of the reasons we hired him), that will please our crowd, and that will keep everyone dancing, but there are just a few songs that would be great if we could hear. They would make us smile, they would make our guests smile, and they would make our day. I certainly don't think that's too much to ask for.

We have a meeting with our DJ in a week and a half. I suppose we'll find out the answers to all our questions then. In the meantime, we will continue to make our lists...in a non-controlling, non-trying-to-do-our-DJ's-job kind of way!

(I don't think our DJ knew what he was getting himself into!)
