Bride - Acustic Guitar version of bridal chorus
Recessional - "This will be" by Natalie Cole

Reception:
First Dance - "You had me from hello" by Kenny Chesney

So far the only must play song we have is Copacabana because that song is the reason we named our dog Lola.

I love this song! I really want it to be our first dance song, but FI doesn't like mushy songs. I still have hope though. :) I get all teary when I hear it on the radio.

<div>Chelsea, FI always says that song reminds him of me. I LOVE it, even before he said that. We thought about doing that as our first dance but he found the song we are dancing to ("I can't wait" by Runner Runner) and played it the night he proposed. I'm still kinda torn though. </div>

I seriously have no idea what any ceremony music will be...need to get on that!! But I know I am dancing with my dad to "I Loved Her First". I am the farthest away from a country music fan as anyone can be, but that song makes me cry. The first time I heard it was also the first time my dad heard it (at a wedding a few years ago) and I told him when I get married I wanted us to dance to it. He said it was perfect! I couldn't imagine dancing with him to anything else, and I haven't ever had another song in mind since then. I wanted to find a different (non-country) version, but no luck. It's not TOO country, so it'll be fine! We might enter the reception to "All I Do Is Win" because it was Auburn's National Championship Season song...but that's not set in stone yet! FI chose our first dance song. It's going to be "If I Ain't Got You" by Alicia Keys. (I HATE the word ain't!) haha. I have always loved Alicia Keys and after FI asked if I thought it would be a good song, we listened to it together and I was bawling in his arms. It's even more special to me that he chose it, because it tells me that the song exemplifies how he feels with me.

No other songs have been planned yet...

We are getting married in a Catholic Church so there will be no ceremony music to list. But I had fun with the Reception music list, my FI says music is just there for the sound of it so he didn't care what I picked.

Reception entrance: Groomsmen: 3 Stooges Theme Song
Bridesmaids: Girls Just Wanna Have Fun
Us: Another One Bites The Dust

And must play list for the "party" : First Dance: Never Gonna Be Alone, by Nickelback. Father Daughter Dance: My Girl, by Temptations. Mother Son Dance: A Song For My Son (FMIL picked this one, dont know by who). Cake Cutting: You and Me, by Lifehouse
