Daddy's Little Girl

I am looking forward to a myriad of experiences on our wedding day. The ceremony, the pictures, the food, the first dance, the party, the love, the laughter, the joy; I could go on.

I must admit though, there's one particular aspect of the day that I've been looking forward to for a very long time. This little girl can't wait to dance with her daddy! Ultimately, I'll be leaving the choice of song to my dad's discretion, but there are so many beautiful one's out there, I thought I'd share a few.


Loudon Wainright III - Daughter


Heartland - I Loved Her First


Tim McGraw - My Little Girl


Martina McBride - In My Daughter's Eyes


The Beatles - In My Life


Natalie Merchant - Kind and Generous

So many more!!

If you're a bride planning a wedding, you've probably heard all about iPod weddings by now.

Let me throw a quick explanation out there, for those that have no idea what I'm blathering on about. In this day and age of music technology, many couples are choosing to forgo the hired DJ in favour of creating their own personal play lists using iTunes. The music is then played through speakers hooked up to an iPod, or in our case, a laptop.

Obviously, as with any sort of technology, there is the possibility of things going horribly wrong. Mrs Tulip of weddingbee fame can contest to this. However, we are a fairly tech savvy couple, and have numerous friends that are as well. I feel confident that we will be able to pull it off without a problem.

*touches wood*

Best of all, it's super budget friendly, and we have complete control over the songs that are played during the reception. No macarena dance for us thankyouverymuch!

In the meantime, we need to get crackin on our "must play" list! If you have any suggestions, please throw them out there. I'll leave you with a few possibilities to start things off.

You Can Call Me Al - Paul Simon


Cecilia - Simon and Garfunkle


You Sexy Thing - Hot Chocolate


The way you make me feel - MJ

Some of the youtubes aren't the actual video's, but you get the picture ;)

Oh Heavenly Day...

Anyone who knows me, knows I'm not a "Pachabel's Canon in D" kinda girl. With that in mind, I've been searching for the "perfect" song to walk down the aisle to.

Heavenly Day by Patti Griffen is currently a top runner. The only problem is, I kinda like it as a first dance song too! haha



PS. This was the best sounding youtube version, so please excuse the "inspirational" pictures that go along with it ;)
