I hate to say it and sound like a music snob but I have been disappointed over and over at wedding parties and gatherings. I usually find the music selection for me is lacking that something that hits you in your heart when a song comes on. My ...fiancé and I attended one of my dearest friend's wedding and with butterflies in my stomach with the anticipation of the music that was about to begin, I reminded myself to not have expectations. You see, I hear music and dance in my sleep.
I'm not your average girl. Having collected over 400 vinyl albums since the age of 17, you could imagine what kind of a music freak I am.
The needle hit the record and my fiancé and I looked at each other--our eyes widened and our hearts beamed we both stood and simultaneously pushed our chairs back and we danced and danced and danced. Before I knew it, dinner was over, the dance floor was flooded with bodies dancing to everything from hip hop, swing, ska, funk, new wave, 50's rarely heard. It was at this wedding my fiancé and I knew Cynthia could be the only one to DJ at our wedding. Now keep in mind I know a lot of DJs and for over 20 years worked at wedding venues and music halls. This night was like no other I have ever experienced.
I immediately friended Cynthia at the wedding and we spoke about my visions and feeling about music and what I would want at my own wedding. I confessed my lifelong dream would be to dance so whole heartedly with such rhythm and precision that my shoes would explode. I looked at her thinking she must think I'm mad. A Giant grin came up on her face you know one of those smiles that makes you feel like in that second someone truly got the essence of who you are and she said-Done. Need I say more about this gem of a woman.
