:: Wedding Stuff :: First Dance Song

So as you may or may not know I am getting married in 31 days! Planning is in full-force and as most of you well know pretty much complete as I happen to be an organize-a-holic when it comes to event planning and even more so because it is my wedding day and the day I have been looking forward to for much of my life. So needless to say I want everything to be perfect!

For most of the wedding planning it has been a breeze to say the least, Brad has been very easy-going and supportive! Thank God for that!

We are at the point now where we are trying to nail down what songs we want to play for what parts of our wedding. The songs we do have picked out (Only 2 so far, one for the bridemaids to walk up to and one for me to walk up to) I LOVE and think capture who we are and what is important to us as a couple perfectly! I play them all the time and imagine what it is going to be like and the look on Brad's face the first time he sees me in my wedding dress! I love that part at weddings!

So here is the dilemma . . . . I thought we had choosen the PERFECT SONG for our first dance and then Brad put up another song up for discussion . . . . I know you may be thinking "okay so whats the big deal". Well we don't know which song to pick, Brad cast his vote for his song and I cast my vote for the origional song and we are deadlocked! I would love to say lets just pick another song that we both like but I just can't seem to let go of the origional song.

I know I am probably making a bigger deal out of this then I need to be but the facts are as follows: I am tired, worn-out and plain stressed out with getting ready and making everything perfect for the wedding. I want the wedding to be as perfect as it can be, including every single song! and finally I am emotional (as I assume Brides have the right to be a month before the wedding), picky, I just want things to be my way on my day.

I know it is our day technically but what Groom has fantisized over every last detail of there wedding for the past 26 years? I know I HAVE and I know if it were up to Brad we'd just elope! So the real question is: is it fair to settle on the details that do matter to me in order to let my wonderful soon-to-be husband get his way? I know the wedding matters to him as much as it does to me but do the details matter to him as much as they do to me? I'm gonna ask him!

I have set-up a vote on the right hand side of this blog for you all to cast your votes on which songs you like better, I have not listed them in any perticular order just so you won't know which song is my choice and which is his, so just vote for the one you like best.

Here is what I want for the song and here is what Brad wants for the song:

I want: 1. A song that will be uniquely us and I won't be hearing it someone elses wedding.
2. A song that makes me cry and really resonates with me
3. A song that doesn't require two-stepping (i have 2-left feet)
4. A song that is beautiful but not traditional

Brad wants: 1. A song that can be slow-danced to
2. A song that is romantic
3. A song that is true to how we feel about eachother

So as you can see I think we have similar things we want but also diffrent outlooks. So I would love to hear any comments and or suggestions!

Enjoi!
