    I think most of our friends would explain Big D's (FI) and I's relationship they would have to say that we are BFF's and total goof balls and were not afraid to show it. 

    We have spent hours listening to songs on itunes, rhapsody, searching all the search engines for a song that both of us could agree on, until I found a list of offbeat wedding songs!  We both went through the list and we both secretly wrote on a piece of paper the one song we liked!!! Drum roll please........................

    Islands in the Stream!!!!  We have decided we will start with a slow song for about 20 seconds and then what do you know we will bust out Kenny and Dolly!!  My fiance has a beard like Kenny and can sing decent and well I don't have blonde hair (naturally I do but prefer dark) and I do have some big girls but wow not like Dolly and I am a seriel shower and car singer and wow do I really get in to it.

    We are going to meet with our DJ next week to put this all together.  We are going to try to cut the song off at an appropriate time because it is quite long and there is a repeated chorus  so we will try to figure out a ending part of the song but we don't want guest to know we cut the song.

    Our audience can also be involved because you can clap durning the song and with having a large crowd that is over 40 they will definetly be down with this song!

    I am a ham and I always have been so I couldn't see me being poised and proper for the best day of my life!

    what a cute and fun song!  i always like weddings where the first song is interactive, instead of just watching the couple sway back and forth.  i'm sure your guests will love it!

    Love Dolly Parton and love that song! That should be so much fun, especially if you both are playing into the cheese factor.

    Thanks girls!  I think I am more excited about doing this than anything else.  Since Halloween is the week after our wedding I really wanted to celebrate early and wear a blonde wig while we are belting out the tunes but of course I don't want to mess up my hair that I spent $125 dollars on although my hair dresser who is also a friend will be at the wedding, hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm....... who knows I might be struttin the blonde hair, and I have to perfect her laugh I love it!
