The week is ending on a really high note, because as of today we are officially done with calls and meetings for the wedding! Just the fun stuff from here on in. I have started working on our guestbook, which I’m going to scrapbook, I bought some beads and earring hooks for earrings that I may wear if they turn out to be passable, and we have the flowers all settled.
Oh no she’s doing the wedding thing again. Let’s just start skimming…
NO NO! IT’S JUST A COUPLE MORE THINGS! I SWEAR! SORRY!!
The minister loved our ceremony, which as someone who is getting married in the United Church but has never attended a church service was a huge relief. I was terrified that she would think the service was too modern or too secular or something and in the end she asked to keep it as an example of a modern ceremony. Woo!
We’ve decided on our ceremony music – to be played by a family friend on guitar, no vocals:
Processional – Love And Some Verses – Iron and Wine
Signing of the Register – I’ll Back You Up – Dave Matthews Band
Recessional – First Day Of My Life – Bright Eyes (this is the geeky one I’m really laughing to myself about)
And I can’t really express how relieved I am that most of this is just done – I just get to relax for the weekend, be bitten by puppies, and listen to music for as long as I want. That feels like some kind of weekend to me.

Aww…thanks :)
Okay, you’re ALLOWED to blog away about your wedding stuffs – it IS kind of a big deal. I counted them up yesterday and realized that at least 12 sets of people I know personally have gotten engaged or married in the last year – so needless to say I’m used to the topic (although I must say yours has been the most creative and least cringe-inspiring).
And yeah, it’s a little cheesy, but I love the Bright Eyes too.
Also – thanks for the holler! Can’t wait to read the other blogs you’ve got linked.
Jenny’s right, it’s your blog, talk wedding stuff all you want! If we didn’t want to hear about it we wouldn’t keep showing up. ;)
And thanks a bunch for the love! I have been thinking I need to get a blog roll up and I just haven’t done it yet. Now I have more motivation!
aw! thank you!!!! WOOOOO!!!
i have been totes running around and jesse and i are heading out to get on a plane, but thanks for the comment + love, i’ll be catching up soon!!
xo
ps “first day of my life” always makes me tear up
I love reading about wedding planning.
And Iron and Wine at your wedding ceremony? How awesome are you!
I’m going to have to go listen to those songs. We’ve got Spanish Guitars for our wedding … and we’ll soon need to make very similar decisions!
I thought about Bright Eyes too for my wedding, but living in Omaha it seemed way to weird. Like I might run into Conner Oberst at the bar sometime and know I was this huge dork that used his song at my wedding. Love the song though.
Awwww shucks, that’s so dang sweet of you!
Love the Bright Eyes song, great choice! We walked down the aisle to New Order’s ‘Ceremony’ lol.
I love that you chose Love and Some Verses. It’s a beautiful song!
great song choices!! have you seen the video for first day of my life? i love it.
You are too cute! Ah, enjoy it all Kyla. The day goes by so fast and the things I remember most are the times I stopped to think how much fun I was having, like getting ready in the morning and dancing at the reception. You will look just gorgeous and I know you’ll be the kind of girl to really let yourself have fun and enjoy your day. Congratulations!!
Kyla, please do keep posting about your wedding! I need all the inspiration I can get… :-)
I love Dave Matthews Band. It’s probably an unhealthy love, but I can’t help myself! Great song choice. So excited for you that this is the month of your wedding. Can’t wait to see pictures.
