All of our music for the prelude and processional of the ceremony was written and recorded by Mike in his makeshift home studio. It is now available in MP3 format for you to download and enjoy, but we ask that you please observe the copyright restrictions listed below. If you have any questions or comments, please don't hesitate to email us about them at "wedding-music @ this site". In true "techie" fashion, we used our PowerMac to play all of the ceremony and reception music through a rented PA system. The Mac's stylish case fit in perfectly with the wedding decor, as you can see at the bottom of this photo. These five pieces are all piano or keyboard based, and span over 5 years of creative effort. Some of them were started over 5 years ago, while others were newly created in the last few weeks before our wedding. All of them came down to the wire and were finished just days before June 1st. As the big day approached, I began sifting through my large catalogue of unfinished piano pieces, picking those that I felt were the best candidates to finish and use in the ceremony. I also spent nearly every evening at the keyboard, just playing and working out ideas for brand new songs. A lot of those pieces or ideas didn't become fully finished songs in time for the wedding, but five of them made the cut. I didn't come up with most of the titles until after the wedding day. Thinking back on that day and the events leading up to it gave me the unique perspective I needed to match each piece of music with words describing its relationship to the whole event.
