Wedding Blog

I’m happy to say that after all my initial trepidation, we have chosen a DJ! Unfortunately, Mr. Chickadee wasn’t able to make it to the first meeting, but his mom and I did sit down with Ben Miller, of Premier Productions, and we were really impressed. We ended chatting for well over the allotted hour, and I was almost late for my engagement pictures!

One thing we discussed at length was what sort of tone I wanted to set at the reception. Ben asked me to identify three adjectives to describe the reception of our dreams. I have to admit, he sort of put me on the spot and with my background in literature and writing, I came up with some pretty lame adjectives. Still, I maintain that I’d like our reception to embody these three things:

1. Fun - I don’t know anyone that doesn’t hope for a “fun” reception. For Mr. Chickadee and I, specifically, we want our reception to be like one great big party! We want our guests to dance the night away, which requires a great DJ like Ben to play some of our favorite tunes.

2. Emotional - In addition to a great party, that day will be the celebration of joining our lives in marriage! I want to feel a wide range of emotions that day - from excited to romantic to nostalgic to absolutely ecstatic. I want my guests to experience those emotions as well.

3. Unifying - I take the term “tying the knot” pretty seriously… Mr. Chickadee and I are literally tying a knot between our families. I want all our family and friends to get to know each other and bond that day. I want everyone to feel included and special on our day.

What three adjectives would you use to describe your dream for your wedding day?
