Our wedding is still two years away, so we haven''t been doing any intensive planning, but it''s funny because a lot of things seem to just fall into place anyway!
So how this happened is that I''ve been playing the trumpet in school and amateur senior bands since I my first year of High School 10 years ago. The musical director of the senior band I''ve played in for the last three years is a music teacher and studied the trumpet in college; of course she has a lot of contacts in the professional music world and has a lot of friends who professional musicians as well. I''ve known her for about 8 years.
The year''s first band practice was yesterday and I went to see her to give her the good news of my engagement (and she yelled it to the whole band, it was pretty funny) and she asked me if I wanted her to play at my wedding. I was pleasantly surprised by the offer, because I had been thinking about it. My little church doesn''t have a pipe organ (which is a pity because I adore organ music), and as a music lover and amateur musician for most of my life (I started at 4!), a little piano organ wouldn''t do for my wedding!
So I told her I''d been thinking about asking her to put together a brass quintet (brass are my favorite instruments, obviously
) for the ceremony music; I knew she could put something that would be beautiful and powerful and would fit my budget. And she said: "Of course I''ll do it! And for friends, we do for free."
So our date is already booked in her schedule, and we''ll talk again about what the specifics a few months before the wedding. I''m so happy and excited, it''ll be perfect!!
