The celebrations begin

Wednesday, August 20th, 2008

Okay, technically, my shower in July was the beginning of the celebrations. But tomorrow is our work shower and Saturday is my bachelorette (and I’m working on something for James). The wedding is just two weeks from Saturday!

I still need to talk to the florist and redo my hair trial (I was not happy with the first go round, but I think I know how to fix it). And a few other odds and ends. I feel a bit scattered.

Tomorrow is our walk through at the Wake Robin, too, and last night we met with our DJ. My dad called about 30 minutes too late, but he finally picked a song for our dance (which has been stuck in my head all day).

It’s going to be a crazy two weeks!

Thinking about the music

Friday, April 20th, 2007

We’ve started to compile a list of music that we want played at the reception. We’re pretty much set on “Banana Pancakes” by Jack Johnson for our first dance. Jack Johnson was the first music we shared together, and banana pancakes are our favorite breakfast to make together. Not to mention the part where he tries to convince her to stay in bed; that is so us.

The other songs we want played at some point:

Hard to Concentrate
Red Hot Chili Peppers

Give It to You
G Love (feat. Jack Johnson)

Wouldn’t It Be Nice

Most of these songs are culled from my iTunes library. We have yet to tackle the 7,000 or more songs James is carrying around on his iPod.

Edited by James: 10,000 or more (10,321 plus another 2 or 300 that I haven’t added to iTunes and thus my iPod)
