    Having just got married a week ago today, (honeymoon coming soon), I can give you a little advice. First off, you don't need alot of money to throw a wedding. We did it all for around $4500, had 100 people, and had a fucking BALL. One of the main reasons I think it was so good was that we kept all the plans real loose, and we didn't have any huge expectations for it, like most people do. We didn't even officially invite everyone until the week before. We did have to stress out about alot, but once the day came, we just let it happen, and it went perfect. We didn't pick a song til the night before, and it was a pretty obvious choice for both of us, cuz we're both huge Brenton Wood fans. I made the DJ a few CDs of stuff, but I didn't really sweat what he was playing, cuz I wanted to let loose, and not worry about that shit at my wedding. As long as you don't hire a cornball CDJ party service DJ, I'm sure everything will go smoothly. This applies to Kinetic and anyone else having a wedding soon.

    Thanks, and I was already thinking that. I thuink I might just get a mate who is careful with records to play stuff from my collection for me on the day!

    But then I thought

    processional: "at last" - etta james
    recessional: "kissing my love" - bill withers

    both played by a live band, the first as an instrumental. for the recessional, i told them,"you can do the song however you want, but YOU MUST KEEP THE OPENING DRUMS." i've never had a bigger, stupider grin on my face than when i was walking back down that aisle with my wife listening to that drum break.

    D'oh. I had been checking in periodically so I forgot you kicked things off. Self-

  • Walking to work today, Lou Rawls version of "You've Made Me So Very Happy," came on the iPod, and I am wondering about that as a possibility. I really wanted to do Marvin and Tammi's "You're All I Need to get By," but the lady thinks it sounds a little...I dunno. She wasn't feelin' it as a first song. All her life, she was thinking "At Last," but after going to five weddings where that was the first song, we were both like...

    There are places I???ll remember
    All my life though some have changed
    Some forever not for better
    Some have gone and some remain
    All these places have their moments
    With lovers and friends I still can recall
    Some are dead and some are living
    In my life I???ve loved them all

    But of all these friends and lovers
    There is no one compares with you
    And these memories lose their meaning
    When I think of love as something new
    Though I know I???ll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I???ll often stop and think about them
    In my life I love you more

    Though I know I???ll never lose affection
    For people and things that went before
    I know I???ll often stop and think about them
    In my life I love you more
    In my life I love you more
