wedding music

As a singer and music teacher, this is SOOO important to me. Here are a couple songs that I love.  Originally thought I wanted something more acoustic, but these are both great.

"When I Say I Do" Matthew West
"From LA to Rome" Chester See (who is AMAZING!)

**UPDATE:  Here are the songs we ended up using....

Before the ceremony - a ton of Vitamin String Quartet songs
Bride Entrance - Shania Twain 'Forever and Always'
Exiting Ceremony - 'Say Hey' Michael Franti 
First Dance - 'I Can't Wait' Runner Runner
Mother Son Dance - 'What a wonderful world' (performed by a friend)
Father Daughter Dance - 'There You'll Be' Faith Hill (performed by my sister)

This was such a hard task but I know we made the right choices.  Everytime I hear one of the songs, it brings me right back to this special day.

save the date

I wanted to do a 'film strip' type Save the Date (I almost wrote STD but that probably wouldn't look so good...) so we had our friend take photos with us with the different words.  I bought the letters from Michaels and made the signs by printing the words and taping on some poster board.  Then I turned all photos black and white and recolored the letters/words.

I had them printed at Vistaprint for CHEAP.  Like 250 cost about $18 with tax.

Here they are!
