We checked off a big thing this week - our DJ! We are so excited to have that booked so now we can focus on finding our perfect photographer/videographer! We booked D&J...now time to work on the song lists!

Congrats on the check! Who did you decide to go with?

Ms.BriarRose · November 2010

Awesome check! Now you get to start making lists of what songs you want

Congrats!! Gzilla and I went through a bunch of songs last night for our DJ. We FINALLY agreed on entrance music. The Beatles "Got To Get You Into My Life." And we aren't doing BP introductions... just us.

LOL, we did Down by Jay Sean. It was hilarious- all our guests were jammin' as we walked in.

Oh, and our BP entered to Yeah by Usher. My sister/MOH managed to rangle up these 90s type sunglasses for her and the best maid. Their entrance was EPIC. We are trying to figure out a way to cut that part out and upload it to FB and youtube so everyone can see it!

We kept going back and forth as to whether or not we wanted to introduce the entire bridal party, or just us. And it came down to his best man is not the jolliest of individuals, and I'm personally worried that he's going to throw a hissy fit at some point about things that we're doing that he doesn't like. And...my parents. They're divorced, and my father is remarried (to the woman he had an affair with) so things are a bit, uh, touchy? So do we introduce just my parents? My mom and her boyfriend and then my dad and his wife? No one? But we want to introduce Gene's parents. So we decided it would just be easier on everyone if we only did us.

Oh, and if anyone loves my entrance song... FEEL FREE to steal it!!! I think it's a great song! Nice and upbeat... has a good chord change right in the beginning... brass instruments... everything Gzilla and I were looking for (I wanted fun and upbeat, he wanted some chord change and brass instruments. He's weird)

We went with D&J DJ Services. I've known the owner for years so I'm excited to book them for our wedding. I never considered not having the bridal party introduced...my parents are also divorced as a result of an affair and I've been trying to figure out how to do the announcements...I was thinking of just having my parents announced but without an escort? What do you think about that? I don't know who would escort my mom, which is why I thinking of doing it that way....

My parents are divorced as well, and we had the flower girl walk in with my dad and the ring bearer walk in with my mom. It worked out perfectly, and was also really, really cute too!

RecoveringActor · November 2010

Well my mom has a boyfriend that she's been with for a few years, but there's a chance he isn't coming to my wedding because he can't stand my sister? It's a whole big drama. And honestly I'm not going to fight Gzilla on the BP thing, because a lot of the weddings we've been to, when they announce the whole BP it sounds like "AND NOW... YOU'RE STARTING TEAM!!!" ::cue the 1996 Chicago Bulls music::

The only person who could convince Gzilla otherwise is our DJ Jenny, but she's in Australia right now.

If your mom isn't in a longterm relationship, and your parents are okay with being announced together... then I say go for it. Mine won't do that. There are all these things where I have to call them and say "Just so you know... our church is requiring that you two have to light the baptismal candle together." And "Just so you know... I'm getting a corsage for Pam." I thought my mother was going to cry when I told her that Pam is buying our flowers as a wedding gift.

We used a Jay Sean song too! But we did 2012. That was just for the BP. For DH & I we used Save A Horse, Ride A Cowboy, and we rode in on his wheelchair with me on his lap <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-laughing.gif" border="0" alt="Laughing" title="Laughing" />

that is sooooooo cute!!!!!!!!

I am not doing parent intro's since my family will not be there. Just the wedding party and us.

Congrats on your DJ! I was having a hard time with song lists! RecoveringActor has been my savior with that! lol.

Recovering, my parents HATE each other. It was the never ending drama. When I told my mom that my dad's GF was getting a wristlet, that she was coming to the rehearsal dinner, that we were doing pictures with her, she nearly threw a sh!tfit. I was so pissed- look, I understand you are paying for stuff, I understand that this is hard bc Dad cheat on you with her- but at the same time, this isn't about you, it's not about her, it's not about Dad. It's about DH and I- put a smile on your face, be a bigger woman, and everyone will remember you for that, trust me.

But when Dad asked to walk Mojo down the aisle, and then to walk her in the reception, we did put our foot down. We told him, no, you aren't married to her. We aren't letting MIL's BF in any of this, and while you are paying, I am not doing that to mom. Yeah okay, threaten to withdraw your funds- that won't happen and we both know it, becuase you won't be made to be a fool in front of your "buddies" (this was a month before the wedding, when we had already sent out the invitations to the 20 ppl he had added to the invite list).

You have to decide what will work, and what is overstepping the bounds. Some things parents might throw a fit about, but when you say enough is enough, they back down. Other things, you have to realize what that could do to everything. That's why we used the flower girl and ring bearer, and it worked really, really well.

My FI is a HUGE bulls fan - not only the bulls but a HUGE basketball fan.. he coaches high school basketball in Maryland in the Winter (So I'm not seeing much of him in the next 3 months...) PLUS our daughter is named Jordan (Wonder who that is after?!) Anywho - he really wants our entrance music to be the Bulls entrance theme song. Everyone will know and particularly understand why he chose that.. and I just might let him have his way with that one --- he hasn't asked for much throughout this process, so... But when I read that I literally just laughed out loud that you had mentioned it. <img src="http://cdn.cl9.vanillaforums.com/downloaded/ver1.0/content/scripts/tinymce/plugins/emotions/images/smiley-tongue-out.gif" border="0" alt="Tongue out" title="Tongue out" />
