Last Ides of March, I was married. I did a lot worrying about different things before then, and I'd like everyone to know, I've been happily married for more then a year despite being convinced it wouldn't happen in time. One thing I was particularly proud of was just about the only thing I had any affect on for the wedding, and that was the music. I spent a long time sampling different pieces in my collection, different pieces in other collections and eventually came up with a good selection that fit our theme of Pirates/ Celtic/ Renaissance. Music was pulled from Anime, Video Games, and a few Celtic CDs, the end result enjoyed considerable playtime at my in-laws house before I pointed out what they were listening to. Katie of course cleared every song before it made it to the final list, and I worked out a timing and an order of play, so even though this was the most I contributed to the wedding ceremony, it was still a team effort.
Since I am so proud of the list that Katie and I worked out I'm going to post it, so here goes.
