It all starts with the proposal…and this one makes my heart so happy! Boone (member of the band DecembeRadio) called out to his love, Loren, at the end of a night’s performance and presented her with his drumsticks. Only this time, there was a special message written to her – “Will you marry me?” Planning started towards their “I do”s and this is the magic that came from their special day!

For their ceremony music, Loren and Boone chose mostly traditional music, performed by guitarist Rob Higginbotham, including:
Bach’s Prelude in D
Canon in D
Jesus, Joy of Man’s Desiring
Bridal March

Boone’s fellow DecembeRadio band members, Brian and Josh performed “Nothing Fancy” in conjunction with their unity ceremony.

Recessional music: Until You
First dance: The Day Before You
Bride/Father dance: I Loved Her First
Groom/Mom dance: My Wish

Since we had a small (50 guest) wedding and brunch reception we played a mix of my favorite and Boone’s favorite upbeat love songs. We just used a Ipod playlist I set up. I had several playlists set up just incase dancing broke out, but that day we just played the playlist that had these songs…
