A meeting of the Music minds

I got a chance to chat with Kris from our band to go over the music plan for our reception.
We had an hour long conversation about the type of reception that Al and I were going for. I told him that for our wedding we wanted to think mostly outside of the box, but have a few standards. I have a definite DO NOT play list that Al and I agreed on that I'm hoping will be adhered to. No Brick House, no chicken dance, no electric slide and NO country of any kind even if it's requested. We also were kind of clueless as to specifics for the cocktail hour and dinner. So I told Kris that we just wanted some chill music, Sinatra style. He told me "I got you" and I believe him. I think this is going to be the best party EVAH!

Al and I had been going back and forth on music but never really set anything in stone, so I made the executive decision for specific songs for certain "events".

As of now, Al still hasn't chosen a song for the mother-son dance. I told Kris that I was still waiting on a decision from Al, and I had no idea what it would be, but hopefully I would know soon. We shall see.
