Our Wedding: Ipod Playlist Update!
Written by Sara on January 21, 2010 – 9:00 am -
Good Thursday morning, readers!
Thank you to those of you who left comments on what songs you love to dance to; we’re always excited to hear from our readers!
Here’s where we are in compiling our wedding playlists:
- Jordan and I both have raided our ipods for music that we each have and would like played at our wedding reception.
- I also have started a list of songs to download, the list of which is mostly an ode to Frank Sinatra and Ella Fitzgerald (with a little Goo Goo Dolls and The White Stripes mixed in for good measure).
It’s now time, however, to figure out what special songs we want to use for our special dances!
One of my favorite musical duos right now is Everly, fronted by the amazingly talented Bethany Joy Galeotti of One Tree Hill fame. I am in love with the folksy sounds of Everly’s first LP, but the song “Scheming Star” really tugs at my heartstrings. It’s a jazzy tune that’s short enough to use for Jordan and my first dance, but showcases sweet, meaningful lyrics and beautiful swells of music that will be perfect to sway to. At this point, Jordan’s not too crazy about using this song for our first dance as husband and wife, but I’m hoping to work on him!
For my dance with my father, I definitely want to dance to “My Girl” – love that song! We’re not sure what we’d like played for the Mother-Son dance, but I’m sure Jordan’s Mom Nachole (a musical fiend!) will have some great ideas.
Also, Jordan is a huge fan of Blink-182, and I am a gigantic fan of the Backstreet Boys. The question is this: how many songs can we get away with playing at our wedding reception!?
