I am extremely happy with the picks! I have to run some of them by the FH, but I think he will be happy, especially with the Grand Entry songs. We are both big DKM fans, and at all of their concerts, they play 'The Foggy Dew' before they get on stage. We will play that song first as a intro to our party, while we line up outside of the reception hall. When it is over, we will walk in to the DKM 'I'm Shipping up to Boston' instrumental. Totally awesome! Here is where you lovely ladies come in...I need a song to dance with my sister to! Google is of no help at all. I don't want anything cheesy, and maybe more on the rock side...Any suggestions? What songs are you most excited about hearing at your wedding? ]]> Advice from one smart cookie http://www.weddingbycolor.com/nikkchikk/milestones/18019 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/nikkchikk/milestones/18019 Fri, 25 Jul 2008 11:21:00 PST "Ernestine, my bride, I love you so much..." These were the words spoken by my 90-year-old grandfather last Sunday at 2:30pm. My grandmother and my cousin Sarah were each holding one of his hands. He passed away at 3:05. I am so thankful that he was able to say these words to my ailing grandmother, his wife of over 66 years. He was smart and alert right to the end (he was sitting up in bed reading the Sunday paper that very morning!). As my children and I travel to his funeral, it causes me to reflect on those things that are important and long-lasting on this earth. My dear brides, your wedding day is special and important, no doubt. But I wish you deeper things than a gorgeous, fun wedding: May you dance at the wedding celebrations of your grandchildren. May life give you challenges that show you and your husband that your relationship has the staying power you hoped for. May you see your great-grandchild born, grow and mature into young people of whom you are very proud. Planning your ceremony and reception is difficult and sometimes stressful, but remember to keep your focus on the important things. When you are at the end of this life, you will not care that your flowers were not the exact shade of pink that you had in your mind, or that the DJ played the hokey-pokey when you asked him not to at your meeting 8 months ago, or that Uncle Fred got a little too tipsy at the reception and told your new in-laws about the time you were 5 and shoved a pea up your nose at the Thanksgiving dinner table. These are not the enduring things that define your life. Have the best, most gorgeous wedding you can, for sure. But be ready for 60+ years of ups and downs, a lot of joy, some sadness, and a lot of surprises along the way. All the Best- Emily http://sistersflowers.blogspot.com/2008_05_01_archive.html]]> My Candy Buffet Ideas http://www.weddingbycolor.com/nikkchikk/milestones/17809 http://www.weddingbycolor.com/nikkchikk/milestones/17809 Wed, 23 Jul 2008 14:04:00 PST If you are from St. Louis, or have been given a proper tour of the city, you KNOW Gus' Pretzels. Big, yummy, soft pretzels served up hot...YUM! The perfect snack after having a few beers at the Anheuser Busch Brewery across the street. What does that have to do with a candy buffet you ask? Well, what about offering pretzels as well as candy? I think it is an awesome idea that incorporates a fun St. Louis tradition. Gus' has many types of pretzels, but for our purpose, I think the chocolate covered pretzels and regular stick pretzels will be perfect! They can all be placed upright in a tall cylindar vase.
I also want to include popcorn, but not just ANY popcorn...Mix Match Gourmet Popcorn!! My whole family loves this Cheese & Caramel stuff. Grandma picks up bags and hands them out all the time! I know it will be a popluar item :)
