  Unlike most women, I don’t fantasize about the dress or the reception or the presents or the honeymoon when someone says WEDDING. Of course, I have a hazy picture of a man, but save me the blush and bashful bridal colors in Steel Magnolias . I think about the play list. You know. The songs I’ll play when I walk down the aisle, when the ceremony is over, when the reception begins and the funky chicken ends it. I think about the songs I associate with true love and my life. Starting today, I am compiling all the songs that I want to play during my wedding. If I don’t get married, then I’ll have a party and play them just the same. Y’all are invited.
