Ceremony/Reception music...what you got?

Ok ladies, my list for the reception is due ASAP and I still don't know what songs to pick. I have some ideas, but wanted to pick y'alls ideas for first dance, father dance, cake cutting, anniversary dance, etc. I know these are all dependent on what you like, but I need some more ideas. 

First dance song is becoming a REAL issue for us. We have been talking about it for months, but still haven't come to a conclusion...so we'll see lol.

I think we just finally agreed on a song haha! Isn't hard to come to a conclusion about the first dance song. We are going to dance to Lucky by Jason Mraz and Colbie Calliat. Probably typical, but when I read the lyrics it really described us since we have lived in different states (10+ hours away) for 2.5 years. 

Cake cutting - The Way I Am by Ingrid Michaelson

Anniversary Dance - Let's Stay Together by Al Green

I am not sure about the rest of the stuff. 

I really don't know what to do for an entrance song.

Oh and I definitely meant to say pick your brains haha.

Here is what we used.  We did not do a bouquet/garter toss.

Reception entrance - I've Got a Feeling by Blacked Eyed Peas
First dance - Then by Brad Paisley
Father/Daughter - I loved her first by Heartland
Anniversary dance - I can't help falling in love by Elvis <-- This one was a setup because I knew my parents would be the last ones on the dance floor and they love Elvis.
Cake cutting - Sugar Sugar by the Archies
Last dance - Save the last dance for me by Micheal Buble

Every time I see your posts, I feel like we are in the same boat! We just met with the DJ last night, and it never even crossed my mind that we had to pick songs for the cake cutting, bouquet toss, garter toss, etc. The DJ gave me a few ideas but my list is at home. I'm anxious to see what others recommend!

We are doing Forever and Ever Amen by Randy Travis for our first dance. Not what I had in mind, but FI is all about it so I'm gonna just go with it.
