It's not that I was hard up for a topic, really. I just wanted to conduct a little experiment. Yeah, that's what it was.

So this morning I asked three guys I work with what I should blog about. And maybe this is because two of them are great musicians (and third is a fab dancer) but they all instantly agreed that I should write about music.

But maybe it's not because they are music-happy guys. Maybe if you ask any bunch of guys to think of what interests them about wedding planning - they think "music." What? Are you shocked that they didn't pick wedding favors? Ring pillows?

Nope, music. Even people who have no opinion about fine art, or books, or any other art form still always manage to have a favorite kind of music, or at least a favorite song. Music is, in my opinion, the stuff of life. Nothing switches on a good mood like a Crowded House song. Nothing energizes me like the Jackson 5. Nothing mellows me like Feist's "Let It Die." At my wedding, my also-avid husband and I handpicked every single song we wanted played during our reception.

I'm biting my lip right now. I don't want to offend anyone. But then again since when do I hold my unasked-for opinion back. So I'll just say it: I never got people who opt not to have any music or dancing at a wedding. Okay, the dancing I guess I can see, especially if whoever is planning the wedding ain't the drinkin' type. But no music? At all? I think I'm biased because I'm such a music geek, but I don't think a celebration is a celebration without at least some music.

Which brings me to my bloggy little question of the day. What do you prefer? Band or DJ? Both as guest, and as future bride. (Btw, if you need to dig up some good wedding music ideas, this is a great place to start.)

Scary PS - While I was editing this post, my "first dance" wedding song just came on the radio. And no, it's not like it 's super common, it's "Smoke Gets In Your Eyes."

Great, now I'm all eeried out.
