In meeting with Suzy at Neverland, she kept mentioning that she needed a CD with our ceremony music on it. At first I was a little confused. I kinda just assumed there would be set music. “Here comes the bride. Dun dun dun-dun.” And as you all know, this Skunk isn’t a good decision maker. So I started looking early. And once I found what I like and it passed the Mr. Skunk test, it’s been set in stone since April. Maybe this wedding is making me more decisive after all! I’ll quit hemming and hawing and get down to business.

This will be playing during the escorting of the moms and grandmas, and then Jonathan, the best man, and the pastor coming to the altar. I’ve been obsessed with Led Zeppelin for as long as I can remember. There’s nothing quite like driving with the windows down and singing along with Robert Plant.

Next, the ladies will walk in escorted by groomsmen, except my MOH L. Bug who will walk down by herself. They’ll be followed by our junior bridesmaid and little dude. This is the one song I had a hard time deciding on. But every time I play this, I know it’s right.

Next up is my song! I knew I wanted something a little more traditional. But with a non-traditional twist. Enter Trace Bundy. Watching all the videos of this guy leaves me mesmerized. I just can’t understand how he can make a single guitar sound so amazing.

And finally, the recessional. Mr. Skunk typically turns his nose up at “current” music. I on the other hand can totally rock out to Lady Gaga or The Black Eyed Peas. When I played this song from Michael Franti & Spearhead, I immediately started dancing around. I think him seeing me that excited was enough for him to say yes.

I’m so excited. While we couldn’t exactly include any death metal to please the mister, I think this will work great for our ceremony.
