Wedding Music: If Music Be The Food of Love.

During our wedding planning it became a lengthy process of negotiation and
elimination when deciding what format the music would take. Both lovers of music with
an eclectic mix of sometimes very different taste, this was a challenge, but we wanted to
stay true to what we love.  Top tip for all couples it's all about the two of you.

How did we want to entertain our guests? What did we want to hear? Did we want
live music (his preference not so much mine) - a band, ipod music? We got there in the
end because we compromised and isn't that what marriage is all about?

Music for walking down the aisle, well that was my domain, I had total autonomy here
(no compromising at all lol!!!), and that was a no brainer. After checking his schedule
unfortunately he found that he was otherwise engaged. If I couldn't have him singing
in person it had to be an ipod of HIS voice - the one and only:

The wedding party had strict instructions " DO Not start walking until after the 

first verse, walk SLOWLY" (a tall order for my 5 year old daughter, 3 year old

goddaughter and 18 month old daughter - not a problem the others could slow

things down).  I was not walking down that aisle until I heard Prince singing how

much he adores me, emmm I mean until the lyrics stress how much I adore my
husband to be.

ADORE YOU, ADORE YOU can I talk to you tell you whats on my mind?

I would appear in the doorway wait and then start walking. Yes there was real meaning
in the lyrics these particular words and as I am a perfectionist, it had to be just perfect.

Whatever your music and song choices for your day, ensure there is a reflection of the
love you have for each other, if your guests know you - they will love it too.

PLAY ON.
