Pr-Ceremony - Various Bach, Mozart, Vivaldi, Beethoven, Handel, etc.

Processional - Same as Meggies, Jesu, Joy of Man's Desire by Bach, Bach: Cantata, BWV 147

Bridal Entrance - Bridal March Extended (http://www.mediafire.com/?cuwxy757f2zrlf6   )

Recessional - Handel's Allegro Maestoso (Water Music Suite 2)

Cocktail Hour - Left up to the DJ to pick good background music.

Bridal Party Entrance - How Forever Feels by Kenny Chesney.

First Dance - Wonderful Tonight by Eric Clapton

Wedding Party Dance - Find Out Who Your Friends Are by Tracey Lawrence

Father Daughter Dance - Also the same as Meggies, Butterfly Kisses by Bob Carlisle.  There is a long story behind this though.  To make it short my dad will be writing in the book Bob Carlisle wrote about the song that he gave to me when I was 8 and my parents got divorced.  He wrote something in it then and he will present it to me before the song.

Mother and Son Dance - Stand by Me by Ben E. King

Mother and Daughter Dance - Like My Mother Does by Lauren Alaina.  Not traditional but I am very close to my mom.

Garter Removal - Pretty Fly for a White Guy by The Offspring

Garter Toss - Another One Bites the Dust by Queen

Bouquet Toss - I'm Gonna Getchya by Blondie

Garter Back on - 8 Second Ride by Jake Owen

Cake Cutting - Only Wanna be With You by Hooty and the Blow Fish

Anniversary Dance - Love Me Tender, Unchained Melody and Can't Help Falling in Love all by Elvis and Unforgettable You by Nat King Cole.  

We are not doing a traditional Dollar Dance but are offering a chance to dance with the bride and groom.  We did not pick out songs for this though, we are allowing the DJ to do it.  

I think that is it!  There is a lot of song to pick out!  I took my time doing it, FI got involved and we had a great time with this part!

were not doing a bridal party so I suggested my Fiance ' walk down to the beginning and wait and then I come in at my favorite part at the end . LOL
