Music to Wait to



Music was my major contribution to my recent wedding.
We didn't have a lot of cash, so opted instead to load up my iPod with tunes and run things ourselves. I created 4 playlists for use at varying times throughout the day.
I got a lot of nice compliments on the big day from guests of all ages who really liked the music that I compiled for those times when nothing much is happening (before the service, during the meet and greet, while the bride and groom are off at photos, while eating) despite not having heard most of it before. I am always impressed by people who take new music at face value and appreciate it. To that end, I'm publishing my playlist so those interested parties can check some or all of the songs out.
This is the order they played in on the day, although I had intended it to be random originally. It should also be noted that we did not necessarily play all of these songs at the wedding. Enjoy!
