Okay, so, my daughter’s getting hitched! We’re all super excited, but picking out the music for the reception? That’s a whole different ball game. We’ve got the first dance, the father-daughter dance, all that jazz. But I realized we hadn’t thought about a song for the parents’ entrance! Time to fix that.
First, I started brainstorming with my wife. We wanted something upbeat, something that screams “celebration”, but also something that, you know, fits us. We made a list of our favorite party songs from back in the day. A lot of classics, some maybe a bit cheesy, but hey, it’s a wedding!
Then, I took that list and dove into the internet. I hit up Spotify, YouTube, even some wedding forums – gotta see what other folks are doing, right? I spent hours listening to different tracks, reading comments, and adding to our list. Some of the suggestions were wild! But it gave us some new ideas.
After that, the real fun began. We started narrowing it down. We played the songs, danced around the living room, imagined ourselves walking into the reception. It was a blast, but also tough! How do you pick just one?
Here’s a glimpse of what our list looked like:
- “Celebration” by Kool & The Gang: A total classic, always gets the party started.
- “Walking on Sunshine” by Katrina & The Waves: Super joyful, can’t help but smile when you hear it.
- “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I’m Yours” by Stevie Wonder: A bit more soulful, but still fun and upbeat.
- “We Are Family” by Sister Sledge: Seemed appropriate, right?
- “September” by Earth, Wind & Fire: Can’t help but move when this comes on.
We went back and forth on these for a while. Each one had its pros and cons. My wife was leaning towards “Walking on Sunshine”, but I was feeling “Celebration”. It was a tough call!
Finally, we decided to sleep on it. The next morning, we listened to the songs again, fresh ears and all that. And you know what? We both ended up agreeing on “Celebration”!
It just felt right. It’s got that perfect mix of energy, nostalgia, and, well, celebration! Plus, it’s a song everyone knows, so we’re hoping it’ll get everyone pumped up for the party. We practiced our entrance a few times, just to make sure we’ve got the vibe right.
So, there you have it! That’s how we picked our entrance song. It was a journey, but a fun one. Now, we’re just counting down the days until the big day! I can’t wait to see everyone’s faces when we make our grand entrance. It’s going to be epic!
