    <div>We spent a lot of time working on this over the last few weeks. We decided on slower songs during dinner or with a run love theme to them and then we are starting the reception (after dinner) with some oldies that everyone knows and love. Then as the night goes on (and some of the older folks leave) we will be playing the songs that go back to college and more present fun dance music. Here are a few of the selections: </div><div>

    </div><div>Hope  this helps you guys some..... we are still working on it. I was told that you need about 20 songs per hour depending on the length of the songs.... and to not pick really long songs for your 1st dances since it's just you and people are just sitting waiting and watching. I am going to shorten a lot of our choices or look for clipped versions. </div><div>

  • I lucked out with my DJ, he's fantastic! We're giving him free regn. Light jazz love music (I LOVE Etta James) for dinner and a good mix of country/hip hop/ 80's pop/ dance/spanish music. We're very eclectic and so are our friends so we wanted varying styles. Here are some must plays:

    Bridal Party walk in: Chris Brown "yeah 3x"
    US <3: Miguel "Sure Thing" (It was OUR song for awhile, FI loves it)
    1st Dance: " Brad Paisley "She's Everything" (We originally had another but when he found this he refused to dance to anything else...very cute)
    Dad & I: Heartland "I loved her first"
    Garter Removal: Kelly Rowland "Motivation"

    Defintely have to play "Mi Tierra", "Wobble" By VIC, "Sol Playa y arena", "Me subes la bilirubina", "Living on a prayer"

  • We are planning on using Vitamin String Quartet which covers pretty much every musician for our ceremony, after the ceremony, cocktail hour is going to be themed more of a motown-love song theme :)
  • I'm also getting married 12-1-12 :)

    We are playing Christmas music of course!

    Frank Sinatra, Doris Day, Dean Martin
  • I've been struggling with music for a while now too. We're getting married on the 22nd so I'm thinking about Christmas music, not sure specifically what songs though...
