So I think I am on plan J by now on ceremony music... So far the people my family knows for various reasons are not available.
FI and I saw my coworker in concert the other week and he is amazing. So I sent him an email proposal to see if maybe he could do the ceremony music for our wedding. That way he can review it and think about it without me staring at him (we sit 3 feet apart).
Hoping he says yes. We offered a bit more than we would normally pay someone local to the wedding but it should cover his travel expenses. So I think that's more fair than just some $.
Hoping this works.
