A Real Hi-Fi Wedding: Joss & Shawn’s Whiskey Sunset Sweetness
HAPPY (somewhat belated) NEW YEAR my friends!!! I took a bit more time off from the blog than I actually intended, but we had a loss in the family (my husband’s grandmother) so I needed an extra week to cuddle loved ones. She lived a long and happy life, which is important to remember! Let’s celebrate life and love, shall we?!
Shawn and Joss are music lovers to their very core. They were united by a magical mix Shawn made Joss called Whiskey Sunset, and continue to nurture their love of music alongside their love for each other. When planning their wedding, the two love birds knew they wanted an awesome “indie-music themed, yet elegant day”. With all of their attention to musical detail, I’d say they nailed it!! Shawn and Joss chose every single song that went on to their Wedding Day playlist. Their ceremony was written with vows that were actually lyrics from favorite songs.
Now to the music! Please note that anything appearing as a hyperlink will open the song in a new window in spotify for you to listen! Push play, and swoon away!
