THE MUSIC
The Ceremony
We haven't designed the ceremony yet, but here's what we have so far.
PRELUDE: We're picking a few pieces of orchestral music from the Final Fantasy series. I felt really nerdy for suggesting it, but Jer absolutely loves the idea, because he's just as big a nerd as I am. The games under consideration are III (Japanese numbering), VIII (his favorite), and X (first one I played), as well as the Kingdom Hearts series.
PROCESSIONAL: Candidates are "Simple and Clean" (orchestral version) from Kingdom Hearts, "Sanctuary" (orchestral verison) from Kingdom Hearts II, and "1000 Words" (piano version) from Final Fantasy X-2.
RECESSIONAL: I was initially considering "The Ballad of Linus and Lucy," since Jer is a Peanuts fan. However, Jer is an even bigger Foo Fighters fan, and I discovered that the Vitamin String Quartet covered several of their songs. I got him the CD for Valentine's Day and told him to pick the recessional from there. He's chosen "Learn to Fly."
