Introducing…

For the last week or two, Mr. Jasmine and I have been wrestling over what song to choose for our grand entrance into the reception. Now maybe we’ve inflated the importance of the song in our minds, but we can’t help but feel that the song we choose sets the tone for the evening and gets everyone in a spirited mood. So we humbly ask the Hive to help us choose our song!
Contender 1:
Michael Jackson’s “The Way You Make Me Feel”
Sorry YouTube wouldn’t let me embed the original video with the super hot girl that MJ is chasing. Anyway, Mr. Jasmine and I are both huge fans of 80’s MJ and this song makes me feel uber-sassy.

This May Just Be Our Perfect “First Dance” Song

How many songs have been written for or about same-sex weddings? Well, before I read a recent post by Tales of a Female Husband, I would have said none. How had I never heard of this song by Vienna Teng called “City Hall” ? I love it!
As Loaf points out, a key line is “if they take it away again someday this beautiful thing won’t change”, especially because of the ballot initiative that may change the CA constitution to ban same-sex marriage.
I’m going to go buy all of her music now. Here’s a Youtube video featuring my new favourite song to keep you company while I’m off on my buying spree.
Our Song

Our first dance will not be the Piña Colada Song, but I think we may still need to play it at the reception even though it’s about as cheesy as you can get.
The Gingerbreads’ first vacation together was to Maui. We spent half of the time camping all over the island and it was awesome! Like so many Maui tourists, we wanted to see the sunrise at Haleakala. We set the alarms on our cell phones so that we’d get up in time to drive up to the summit for the sunrise. We awoke to the cold and grumbled as we dressed and stumbled out of the tent. The campground was quiet. No one else was up yet. We hit the restrooms and then jumped in the Jeep, proud of ourselves for having beat everyone out of the campground.
“Look at your clock and tell me what time it is” I said to Miss GB 2.0 as we were halfway up the mountain. Miss GB 2.0 had bought a little watch bracelet from Sports Authority that she set to Hawaii time. Answer: “It’s 11pm.” Our cell phones were still set to Pacific Standard Time! We morons counted the wrong way. We set the cell phone alarms back three hours instead of ahead three hours. We should have set them for 8am PST (which would have been 5am in Hawaii) but instead we set them to 2am (11pm in Hawaii).

Aw, Now You Have Two!

At last, my dad and I have decided on two songs for the father/daughter dance. We’re not sure which one to choose, as both are beautiful classics.
My Girl by The Temptations
Stand By Me by Ben E. King
I love my dad very much, and have always been his special girl. We hang out on the weekends and see each other a few times a week. I think that’s why I have such a hard time choosing a song. The good things about these songs are the length. Not too long at all!
Which one do you like?
