i'm someones WIFE + wedding playlists

the daily taryn — march 16, 2023

Well well well.

If it isn’t me, A PERSON WHO IS ANOTHER PERSON’S WIFE.

hahahahahahahhaa

That’s so crazy. Wow.

As someone who is not me, you’re probably like, “I mean, you fell in love and got engaged and planned and wedding and then had the wedding, so yes, you’re someone’s wife.”

But as someone who is me, I’m shocked at how shocked I am.

I’m so excited. And relieved? There’s a weird weight-off-my-backness that I wasn’t expecting to feel, and haven’t unpacked enough. I also feel old. Like, it wouldn’t be weird to be called “ma’am” now.

This ma’am is happy, sparked, and feeling a wild amount of inspiration. If you follow me on instagram, you’ve probably noticed that I’m just doing all the things at the moment. Posting a lot more, pushing our podcast, getting back to writing (hello!!). Something about our wedding just gave me this extra umpf that I’d been missing.

It wasn’t the wedding

It was and it wasn’t.

It wasn’t the fact that I had a ceremony about my relationship and said vows and exchanged rings and got served dinner and partied with friends.

It was everything that that meant. It was the people — some having known me from literal birth and some just knowing a little sliver of my existence. Then, the same version of that for Cam. THEN, those people all coming together and dancing together, drinking together, crying together.

Most of all, it was them celebrating us together that really got me.

Them = both mine and Cam’s people

Celebrating = showing up, dancing, listening, laughing, crying

Us = Cam and I. Our love. That we chose to do life together.

Their joy was so palpable, it inspired me about my own love. Which then inspired me about my own life. Which then inspired me about everything in my life.

Here I come

So, you’re about to start seeing a lot more of me. Thanks, as always, for your energy towards the stuff I make.

On quesday, someone asked if I’d share the music we used at our wedding. We created 4 playlists as inspo for our DJs, and they used them and built off them to work around our vibe. Here they are :)

Overall wedding weekend. This was played during rehearsal dinner and shared with all of our guests before the wedding.

Cocktail hour. We wanted a vibe that would get people loosened up and excited to party. It’s such a vibe, I play this little playlist in my car basically every day.

Cutie dinner. These are “sweet bops” we love and thought would be a nice background track to dinner.

After parteeeee. Cam whipped this one together, with the goal of no cheese and all party.

And this is where I leave you. If you read and liked, please tell me somehow — comment, share, whatever. Means the world to hear back from you all!

Talk soon.

your friend,
