Play that funky music!

It really was never a debate. He wanted a band, and I just wanted to make sure that certain songs were played. Ya know, the first dance, mother/son & father/daughter, and maybe a fun wedding party song. After reaching out to a band we saw at another wedding dance a few months back, we figured we'd see if they were available. If yes, great. If not, time to figure something out.

Well, they were available and their cost wasn't AS much as we had originally thought. Which I guess was good and bad. Would a DJ be cheaper? Probably Or should we just go for it and have a great time to end the day festivities?

After confirming that they'll be able to play whatever songs we want during dinner, being able to play all of those "traditional" dances, and getting done 15 minutes before we get kicked out of the reception hall (to play two night ending song) - we booked! I can definitely say that I am excited, as it will be something we can look back on and say that we did. Yes, a DJ does have some perks... but a band is just plain 'ol fun.

Oh, the bridesmaid dresses got ordered last week! One more thing to cross off the list. I think each of the two will look great together, and the blue will look really nice. They're supposed to come in sometime in August - so here's hoping!

So, now I can say that the following has been done:

• Reception venue
• Ceremony venue
• Officiant
• Photographer
• Band
• Wedding dress
• Bridesmaid dresses
• Wedding band

Time to focus on some little things before getting to more major things in a few months. Next up - invitations!
