We need to have control of the music. That was decided from the beginning. I have just heard too many stories from couples who made detailed lists, provided songs, and then heard none or little of what they wanted. Add to that the fact that a great many of our dates were to concerts and shows, and we needed to rock the iPod wedding. So a friend of Mr. Robin will provide ceremony music with her guitar, and then when the reception rolls around we will have an iPod full of all the songs we love.
However, we have an issue… What song are we going to dance to for the first dance?! We have it down to two, which you can listen to thanks to YouTube:
First Day of My Life by Bright Eyes - this is a really sweet video.
Why We Like It: This declaration of love and commitment because it is so real. It talks about how amazing love is, but also that it is scary and full of hard work. So awesome.
My Favorite Lyric: “Yours is the first face that I saw/ I swear I was blind before I met you”
I Wasn’t Prepared by Eisley
Why We Like It: Because for us it is true. We didn’t think when we met that this would be love, we were not prepared at all, and, also we went through a period of separation while we reflected on making this commitment. I think this song really speaks to that. Also we LOVE Eisley.
My Favorite Lyric: “Oh, I wasn’t prepared for this…”
So which one should we dance to?
Of course we plan to play this song also, because “Love is like a Roll of Tape” just speaks to everyone, right? Oh and we are goofs who are obsessed with Flight of the Concords.
