For the benefit of Mr. Kite...

Trapped in the midst of the seemingly endless debate as to whether a band or a dj is a better option for wedding music, and taking into account the time and location of our wedding (mid-day, in my grandmother's backyard), and knowing that my fiance is not what you'd call a "dancer," and that I wont be able to really get my groove on in front of certain people who are invited to the wedding (for instance, the old family friends who last saw me dance when they came over to watch my 11-year-old self and younger sisters put on a "show" that included dancing and lip-syncing to "Hakuna Matata" from the Lion King), my fiance and I have come to a few conclusions.

1) We're getting married in the Texas hill country.
2) If people want to dance, they certainly can.
3) If people want to sit back and enjoy some great music, they can do that, too.
And
4) If people don't like the Beatles, they shouldn't really be at our wedding anyway.

That being said, for music at our wedding, my good friend Dave Wilson hooked us up and got us the band Beatlegras. AND WE ARE SO EXCITED! What could be a better musical combination than Beatles and Bluegrass?

So, now we need some help. Obviously, Beatles music will be on the playlist. But we need stuff to play between sets and some other non-Beatles options.

Send me your suggestions for great tunes, that Beatles-lovers would like, that will blend well with the beautiful Texas hill country, and that people can dance to or sit back and enjoy.

It's probably true that you can't buy love, but we know we'll get by with a little help from our friends...
