How's this for my 500th post?

I got a bit of flack, and some teasing too, for the music I chose for our wedding. We got married on a Friday (first throw-off for some people *ahem, Kelly ... *. It was December 28, 2001. I loved the music. The two main pieces came from Mannheim Steamroller's Christmas Extraordinaire. The wedding party walked down the aisle (some of them begrudgingly) to "Faeries" (that would be 'The Dance of the Sugarplum Fairies'). My Dad and I entered the sanctuary to Manheim's version of The Hallelujah Chorus. I was and still am very happy with the choice. Our guests seemed to enjoy it too.

But today I came across a link that shows an option we didn't consider ... enjoy!

(Thanks for posting this Liz.)

    It's cool to be different. That's how your day gets stuck in the memory of your guests.

    as someone who lacks any skill in the dancing department, i'm glad i was not in their wedding party. very cool though.
    about the friday wedding...i may have missed yours (though i made it to other Friday weddings...?), at least I made it to my own, a huge accomplishment in my mother's eyes, since i missed my grad....

    I love it! When my cousin got married I was her photographer and as they were working out the details of the recessional I suggested they either run out or dance out, but walking out calmly was too formal for them. They decided to dance out and it was so fun! Gave me good chance to snag fun pics too!

    I enjoyed the music at your wedding - I thought it was hilarious that the guys walked in to Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairies! The other thing I loved at your wedding was that you did the slide show before the ceremony - we didn't know you well so it was a fun way to get to know more about you at the start of the wedding day.

    I love that wedding processional! It totally makes me want to know those people cause they seem like so much fun!! looking back, I think we all should have been dancing down the aisle for the joy that that day should bring!

    If that was the ceremony, the reception must have rocked!!
    Weddings should be unique, reflect the bride & groom. We were so traditional, there are things I would change now, but I still love my dress!
    I might put this on my blog!

    I love it!! What a blast for the wedding party. I thoroughly enjoyed watching that clip. When I get married (renew our vows) for the 3rd time, I think we'll do that! I'll be 78 years of age but hey! you only live once, right!?
