you're lucky to have spouses that would agree to play oils at your wedding!
my husband isn't an oils fan, so i didn't even try to go down that road! he
would have just laughed and shook his head - i suppose i'd do the same
thing if he wanted jane's addiction played at the wedding! - we compromised
by having 'the descendants' as background music in one part of wedding
video.
(not to mention, i think our motown-sounding band would have destroyed any
oils music!)
