“Music is what feelings sound like.”

It’s time for some fun stuff - picking the songs for our beach ceremony!

A LITTLE MOOD MUSIC:

We have an afternoon wedding and, in true Ostrich form, want to have some tunes playing while our favorite people arrive. We’ll probably need 4-5 songs and I would love your suggestions! So far, all we know is the last song before the processional begins will be this oldie but goodie from The Cure,  Friday I’m In Love. We’ve heard this song literally a million times and we still feel warm and fuzzy every time it plays.

LET THE WEDDING BEGIN!

The processional song is a tricky thing for non-traditional brides like yours truly. The music, ideally, should reflect us and our L-O-V-E. but there are SOOOO many to choose from!

Contender #1: Coldplay’s Acoustic Version of  Yellow {Swoon}

Contender #2:

The hopelessly romantic  Falling in Love at a Coffee Shop by Landon Pigg.

A LITTLE WALKING MUSIC:

If there’s one thing Mr. O and I have known since the day we got engaged, it’s the song I wanted to walk down the aisle to. It’s a melody that has a special place in our hearts…lighthearted, dreamy and oh-so-full-of-love, The La’s  There She Goes.  I’ll just have to learn to walk at a slooow and steady pace instead of sprinting down the beach to Mr. O {It’ll be hard to resist!}

THE “WE’RE MARRIED, LET’S CELEBRATE!” SONG:

For our recessional song, we wanted something more upbeat to get our friends and fam excited for the “tasty eats, potent spirits and reckless merriment” to follow. The winner?  Dreams by The Cranberries. Our goal is to have a glass of something good in the hands of our guests by the end of this song…and let the festivities begin!

Now it’s your turn, bees! What sweet songs are you dreaming up for your special day? And if any of you have some favorites that I should use for our prelude music, I’d love your recommendations!
