iPod Wedding Playlist... Finally!

Dear 2000 Dollar Wedding Readers,

This is Matt Bradford again. To remind you, I'm the #4 of our family behind Hoss, Sara and the chickens.

On our LONG trip back to Houston from Sara's parents in Florida, on New Year's Day I rediscovered our wedding playlists on Sara's iPod (it hadn't been updated in a year and a half).

Now, this may not seem like something that's post-worthy, but let me walk you through my surprise:

1. I'm the official iPod updater in our family. Not that Sara doesn't have music tastes or interests of her own, simply that she is the type of person perfectly happy listening to and fast-forwarding through the same songs for more than a year-and-a-half.
2. I had created several playlists for our wedding day that were the product of many, many hours of downloading and research that I will be posting over the next three weeks:
1. Ceremony - Pre
2. Ceremony - Post
3. Reception - Dinner
4. Reception - Dancing
3. We had these playlists on my iPod for all the wedding festivities but, in the case that my iPod failed, we had them backed-up on Sara's iPod.
4. Because of my oft-rotated mp3s and playlists, somewhere in the past year-and-a-half I had lost/deleted (or thought that I had) the playlists forever.

In my excitement I've asked Sara if I could write three posts. I'm well-aware that this is a wedding playlist post that should have been published long ago, so it may all feel a little anti-climactic to you. But the purpose of this post is two-fold: 1) make sure that this important piece of our wedding has been given its proper place on the blog; and 2) to ensure that the list is stored somewhere on the internet, because my computer is clearly not a safe place for it.

Today's playlists will be the "Ceremony - Pre", i.e. the music played as guests were arriving and we were getting setup, and "Ceremony - Post", i.e. concluding, picture time and driving away. Most of the songs can be found by searching http://www.hypem.com/, some can be found at http://www.daytrotter.com/, and my dear friend Galia has a MySpace page as well as other places to buy/download her awesome music.
