We thought Yes, we have thought of everything: the photographer and timely book, the contract for the Location to sign for it, the cake in order to give the rings to choose, the florist and the DJ to letters. But then we looked at one day, a few months before the wedding and I asked: Uh, yeah. Also a wedding blogger happen to such things. Despite various Excel lists. And a hand written wedding schedule.

We had forgotten the thing with the music. Heaven help, Zefix and Luja still a moi! Find a couple of really good musicians, a few months prior to a may wedding… I spent the next few days with intensely searching and finally found two women on the guitar, which is a umhauten us and our guests just with their voices and their Interpretation, and especially for us, uh, but rather unusual wedding song rehearsed.

Tips for Song selection:

1. Song Mixed Styles
The crooners may also interact, would I mix different styles of music. So, for example, latest Songs, unknown songs, Rock, Jazz and Pop, and also the great love songs of the 80s and 90s.

2. Mixed Languages
It need not always be only English Songs. German artists such as Grönemeyer, Naidoo, The Doctors, silver moon and Bourani have great lyrics and melodies that fit the wedding Ceremony!

3. Listen to the lyrics
it Sounds banal, but it is not. We have found on the net are dozens of lists with a supposedly great for a wedding suitable Songs to listen to, in fact, all of whom great emotional, in love, in whom it is, in fact, the farewell of a people or a separation or a less-than-happy love. Example of Fallin‘ by Alicia Keys. So I didn’t want to listen to at my Wedding these lines, rather, Example of Always on my mind by Elvis Presley:

4. Selects individual verses
If you don’t want to have a song here, a single verse, but maybe from the Text at all, then just leave.
