Now my Mom has been pretty awesome about it. She's been snapping her magic wedding planning fingers, and things have been falling into place (well...with some phone calls and actual planning taking place). She found me this cool DJ who's DJ'ed for family events (yes...our family and friends HIRE DJs for their parties...this is why Jamaican New Years and birthday parties are always EPIC!!). I haven't met the guy, but my Mom knows good music, and I trust her DJ picking skills (actually...I wasn't really aware that Moms had these skills until now).
My Mom really wanted steel drums to walk me down the aisle...because naturally she heard it from her friend, who heard it from her sister, who went to a wedding two years ago where steel drums were played. According to my Mom, "They sound beeeeeeautifulllll." Uh huh. Now this is where my inner control freak bridezilla comes out. First off, since this is all hearsay, I have no idea how she knows what steel drums would sound like walking someone down the aisle. I know for a fact that she's not too sure how YouTube works, so she couldn't have heard them from there. So I had to wrestle her about this whole crazy idea. Like, how Jamaican do you want to make this wedding? My fiance isn't Jamaican at all. In fact, he's just some "nice white bwoy"...according to my family....which translated means, Canadian. So I don't really want to creep him entirely out by having crazy loud steel drums welcoming him down the aisle.Fear not, my Mom isn't entirely unreasonable. She agreed to no steel drums (because, it's ultimately her choice...*rolls eyes*). She later heard that violins are the bees knees. Forget the steel drums! Violins are beeeeeeeautifullllll when walking a bride down an aisle! Um, yeah, whatever....*snaps fingers*. Is it June yet?
