Music

J&J_music_001Selecting the music for the reception was a particularly fun activity. There were so many songs we wanted to include, but given the time constraints we had to whittle the list down a bit. In the end, we decided on the songs below for a few different reasons. Each one of these songs has a special meaning to us, so we wanted to share them with our guests.
