Today my Indianapolis Colts WON their game. George and I got to snuggle up most of the day and watch the games like I was hoping and missing, and he even got online and is trying to be helpful picking out wedding songs for my brother and my friend Robin to sing at our ceremony. Our biggest dilemma is our tastes in music are only about 30% the same. Thankfully there are SOME things we both like together, but he's one of those "Eeeeeeeewww no cheezy luv songs puhleeeeeze" (-in spite of being a big MUSHBALL.)
So, I say "hey...what about this song?...I LOVE EDWIN McCAIN !!"
and he says "I have an Edwin McCain album and I HATE IT"
and I say "well, which album is it for Chrissake cuz how could you not like 'I Could Not Ask For More' " ?? (And it's the perfect type of song my brother would sound great singing).
So, it's verbal ping pong. And then I about died and went to heaven when I found a beautiful cd of wedding music set to a harp...I LOVE THE HARP!!! And it's perfect for an outside nature setting, since I am going to have to bring a stereo system and cd's to play the various processional music etc.
..and he says "But, I love PIANO.." ....and harps seem so pretentious..." (HUH?)
and I go "Honey...if I could hire musicians to play live up on the side of a mountain, I don't think they're going to lug a piano up with them...it would be stringed instruments"... (and I don't think they'd be playing the very unpretentious "Chopsticks" on the piano do you suppose?) SEE MY DILEMMA???? Ode to JOY... Oh well, I love him to pieces anyway...

Jess I see it. I went thru all this when my daughter got married and she got married in the mountains. We got lucky and found some oyunf musicians from the school and they played for a nominal fee. We had a cello, harp, electric keyboard and violen john
I'm new here & looking forward to reading more, having just gotten married myself. Also, you need to check out my journal -- while this MIGHT SEEM like some cheap self-promotional scheme ... I MIGHT actually have something you could use ... check it out! & CONGRATULATIONS!
