We've decided on our first dance song! Very exciting. Of course, we can't reveal it here because there must be some surprises... however it is absolutely perfect. We hadn't really had any 'contenders' up until now, because although there are many songs we both like, none of them are really appropriate first dance songs. But Julian was listening to CBC's 50 Tracks (don't bother clicking there right now as the strike means the site is temporarily down) yesterday and he heard a great song by a Canadian band that is a PERFECT slow dance song. I loved it immediately.

Also, my brother Tony has agreed to take charge of the music at the party. (Tony, you can come up with your own title if you want.) We know that he'll have the right mix of indie hits along with a few cheesy favourites to get everyone dancing. (After all this is the man who ordered the entire Time-Life Best of the 80s series.) Other family members beware, I have tasks for you too. Matt, I've got something in mind that capitalises on your own skills!
