Wedding Party Songs

The day of your wedding is already set. You remember the first time you have met the man that will stay next to you in front of the altar and who, from that moment on, will be next to you for the rest of your life. It was a wedding party where you first met him. He is by profession a DJ and for that wedding party he was invited merely to perform his job. But the moment you entered the reception hall as one of the bridesmaids, the space around you suddenly filled with a music that at the moment annulled all the tiredness you had felt after the longs hours of standing up while attending the wedding’s religious service.

You don’t remember exactly what the tune that started to play was, you just remember the look he cast at you and how you instantly felt your face blushing, for later to see him coming and inviting you for a dance. That song you remember quite clear now when you both sit down and try to make the selection this time for your wedding party songs. It was the one and only “Wonderful tonight” performed by Eric Clapton and you tell him about this song and you are pleased to see that he didn’t forget.

He browses through his music store and finds the song and plays it. You always loved this thing in him, to be so responsive at everything you think, because there are so often moments when you don’t even have to speak and he is there with your thought trying to materialize it in his own way. And now you are more pleased to see him standing up, bowing and asking you for a dance and you feel again the vibrations of that first time when you both set your eyes on each other. And you wish for the song to last forever, since it can so vividly rise again those butterflies in your belly.

But there are other things that need to be attended to and when the song is over, you go back to the things you have planned to do precisely that evening, since any other day is scheduled with other duties to perform for your wedding. This evening is programmed for you to sit one next to another and figure out the wedding party songs. The songs for the religious ceremony have been already taken care of; the priest assistant was of a great help to you in this matter. Now it is your future husband the one to decide what are the songs he considers to be the best, since DJ-ing is his job and everything comes natural to him when is about music and bands and even lyrics.

His list comprises songs for the moment when they both will enter the reception hall, song for the father and daughter to dance to, one song for mother and son, and the other one that is representative for them both, the first dance song which actually is supposed to set the tone for the rest of the evening’s party. The rest of the songs on the list are randomly chosen, mostly to alternate the rhythms, one being a blues while the next one a rock’n'roll and so on. And you are the most surprised to see that he selected for your first dance “Wonderful tonight” the song that will be the symbol of the beginning of your love.
