after months & months of anticipation, we are finally married. and everything went absolutely perfect. it was such an amazing day spent with all of our loved ones & we are so thankful for everyone who joined us in celebrating our love and the beginning of our lives together. we are absolutely humbled & blown away by the love that we felt from all of our family & friends.
I cannot wait to share some more details of our ceremony & reception as I get more pictures of them, but one thing I can share for now is the amazing music we chose to use to make our wedding more "us". We had so much fun picking out the perfect songs for each different part of our ceremony & dinner time at the reception. So, in case you are curious, here is the music we used:
ceremony
grandparents & parents: bon iver - re:stacks
bridal party: mumford & sons- timshel
bride: temper trap- sweet disposition
(my very talented aunt agreed to learn the piano versions of each of these songs)
{recessional}
sigur ros - Inní mér syngur vitleysingur
{Special Music}
Jenny & Tyler - As Long as Our Hearts Are Beating
(I need to give my cousins mike & claudia credit for choosing this song. And let me tell you, it was amazing!!! i loved some changes they made to it.)
Reception
{first dance}
Joshua Radin - the fear you won't fall
(we heard this song while driving through vineyards in traverse city last fall & just knew this was the song for our first dance)
{father-daughter dance}
bobby sherman - Julie, do ya love me
(my dad used to sing the chorus of this song to me as a little girl & I surprised him with this song at the reception. we laughed the whole way through & I felt like a little girl again dancing around with my dad :)
we decided to make a playlist for the DJ to play during dinner. Here it is:
