Reception Music

brit_bell90

I thought this would be fun to do on here since we're all pretty offbeat. Obviously all of the songs probably won't be applied to your wedding, and some of you probably haven't thought of all of these songs yet, but share what you have so far! (I stole this from the June '11 board)
What are your:
Reception Entrance for wedding party?
Reception Entrance for Bride and Groom?
First Dance Song?
Father Daughter Dance?
Mother Son Dance?
Cake Cutting Song?
Anniversery Dance?
Tossing the bouquet?
Tossing the garter?
Putting the garter on bouquet catcher?
Last Song?
Other Special Songs?

Reception Entrance for wedding party AND Bride and Groom?
The metal cover of "Mortal Kombat" by Ryashon
First Dance Song?"Kissing In Cars" Pierce The Veil
Father Daughter Dance?"Wonderwall" Oasis
Mother Son Dance?I think he's choosing a song by The Eagles
Cake Cutting Song?We're doing this during dinner, we'll have the Vitamin String Quartet's "Funeral" CD playing during dinner, it's all My Chemical Romance covers.

Tossing the bouquet?"Littke Razorblade" The Pink Spiders
Tossing the garter?"Situations" Escape The Fate
Other Special Songs:"Radio" by Alkaline Trio will be played on classical guitar when I walk down the aisle.FI's old band is playing so all of those songs will be special, even though, just like "Radio" they're all harsh break up songs ha!

How fun! This is going to make me really think. FI is in charge of the music, but then he didn't realize that meant more then just first dance and the overall reception music.

Reception Entrance for wedding party? P!nk..Get this party started
Reception Entrance for Bride and Groom? not sure...
First Dance Song? FI wont tell me
Father Daughter Dance? Not doing
Mother Son Dance? Not doing
Cake Cutting Song? Build Me Up Buttercup...and I will be singing along:)
Anniversery Dance? Not doing
Tossing the bouquet? Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Tossing the garter? Boys of Summer? FI loves that song
Putting the garter on bouquet catcher? Not sure if we are doing this
Last Song? Closing Time! The one thing I have always known that this will be the last song...100% sure:)
Other Special Songs? FI is in charge of reception music. Rule is that at least one Taylor Swift song and one Miley song MUST be played

<div>We pretty much have to, Fi and I have a mutual love for My Chem, we just saw them a few weeks ago, the crowd made us feel old, but at one point (when they played "Vampires Will Never Hurt You") FI jumped on me and started screaming like a girl! We definitely had a great time, it was the first time we got to see them as a couple so it was pretty exciting.</div>
