Our wedding was 4 years ago from yesterday (09.11.09), but it literally feels like it was just yesterday. It was one of the best days of my life because it was filled with love, joy, and good vibes all around. A big part of what made the wedding so special is the music that played from start to finish. Here are the songs that Jeffrey and I hand-picked for our wedding playlist:
Ceremony processional – Clair de Lune // Debussey
Live performance sung by Francis Perfecto during the ceremony – You (Wedding Song) // DnH
That someone is you // It’s always been you // Forever I give all of me… // to you.
Bride and Groom entrance at the reception – Good Life // Kanye West
Welcome to the good life.
Cake Cutting – Ice Cream // Sarah McLachlan
Your love is better than chocolate.
Father/Daughter Dance – Daughters // John Mayer
On behalf of every man // Looking out for every girl // You are the god and the weight of her world // So, fathers be good to your daughters
Mother/Son Dance – A Song for Mama // Boyz II Men
Mama, you know I love you.
First Dance – Still in Love // Brian McKnight
I live to be around you // You take my breath away
Bouquet Toss – Single Ladies // Beyonce
Wuh uh oh uh uh oh oh uh oh uh uh oh
Garter removal – Bump n Grind // R. Kelly
My mind is telling me no but my body MY BODY’s telling me yes!
Garter Toss – Party Like a Rock Star // Shop Boyz
T-t-t-totally dude!!!!
This was the song of the summer that year – I Gotta Feelin’ // Black Eyed Peas
I gotta feeling that tonight’s gonna be a good night
We had an awesome DJ – thanks to Jay Funk from Kiss FM. He mixed it up from oldies all the way up to current music so that all generations could dance the night away. He even stayed for an after-set and spun until 1:30am after the power outage.
Photo creds go to Jay Crihnfield.
Lastly, happy 4 year anniversary to the best husband ever, my Jeffrey. I love you everyday!!

Looks like so much fun – and the music choices are perfect!! I still remember several songs that we required for our wedding – and it’s been 14 years for us 🙂
