We'll Have Live Music!

Earlier this week, we met with Eily from Sweetwater Strings. She's the owner and one of the musicians... she was very nice, and is also Irish with red hair.

After taking time to think/talk it out, listen to song samples from various combinations of instruments and get some suggestions from Mr. Sweeney, we're going to have a guitarist and a violinist for the ceremony.

We're really excited about it and are almost halfway through figuring out the songs we want to be played. Patrick and I have a lot in common, but our tastes in music are definitely not identical! We both have come up with songs that the other isn't a fan of, so who knows which songs we'll end up with... It's a fun process though!

We'll have our DJ for the Cocktail Hour (or "Happy Hour" as Patrick wants it to be called) and the Reception, and going through the songs that will - or will not - sound good as instrumentals is helping us to get the list together for the DJ, too.

I'm pretty sure that the only big thing we need to check off the list is the baker. We've met with one already, and we have a tasting set up with a second option on January 5th. We should be able to decide which one we want to go with pretty quickly after that.
