I am not sure if you remember, but I set a list of smaller goals to accomplish in December...that list now looks like this:
- reach out to our officiant and nail it down
- set up a date to meet with my uncle re: music
- speak with Iman's cousin and set up a date for our meeting with the florist
- go to the Social Security Administration and get a new card
- apply for passport
- finish up wedsite
So, I got about halfway done! Which isn't too bad. Plus some of this stuff is in the works, i.e. I tried to contact our officiant but he didn't call us back which means I might be on the hunt for a new officiant (which sucks because I was trying to do this cost-free!). I did not set up a date to meet with my uncle, but it will be in the next few weeks, he said. Today my goal was to have my music ideas nailed down...so that is what we are hashing out!!

I know we also want to include these songs, but I'm not sure where they fit best:
You're Still the One - Shania Twain
Still into You - Paramore
Memory - Sugarcult [our very, very first song]
Collide - Howie Day [our first slow dance song at Winter Formal]
Umbrella (Cinderella Remix) - Chris Brown [this song is sooo hard to find since they broke up, but Iman loves it]

Stereo Heart - Gym Class Hero
But here is another list of songs I love that I am hoping Iman wants to do some.
How Sweet it Is - James Taylor
Hallelujah - Jeff Buckley
You Are the Best Thing - Ray LaMontagne
And the rest I can't remember!!
What songs are you playing in your wedding? Do you have any advice for me?
