12. I was thinking the same thing.

Hes been very selective on his choices, staying away from some of the really trendy or viral suggestions. I want it to be meaningful, and like you said, not the top hits from a search engine.

Looks like I have my listening cut out for me!

There is live music (string quartet) for the wedding, a videographer (ceremony only - something hubby and I regretted not having at our own wedding), and a cannon shot after their first kiss as husband and wife. Having the disc jockey at the reception means music selection is pretty much unlimited for the duration of the evening. He hired an artist to paint a large picture of the venue (Hagley Museum) then all she’ll have to do is paint them into the foreground on the day of the wedding. It’s on Pi-Day, so they’re only having a cutting cake for pictures with a top layer to freeze for their 1st anniversary. For everyone else, there will be individual mini pies to choose from, including gluten free and vegan options for dessert.

So looking forward to it, but nervous about the dance.
