okay, I just posted my songlist for Julie in another thread and figured maybe I should post here too. I'm not quite done, I need more songs from "todays" music, right now I just have a lot of classic wedding songs, but I don't listen to a lot of dance type music, so if anyone has some suggestions for me I'd love to hear it. These are in random order and yes, I have a TON of songs, I'm sure we won't even listen to a lot of these, but better safe than sorry, right!?

 

Pre - ceremony

we are playing mexican music, I downloaded from itunes (if you want to know which music just pm me, but the titles are spanish and it will take me forever to type!)

 

Me Down the aisle

Bittersweet Symphony (Instrumental)

 

Together back down the aisle

Cocktail hour

we have a mariachi trio

 

Our song

Bless the Broken Road - Rascal Flatts

 

Dance with my dad

I have noticed that not one of you guys have one of the biggest party songs around. So, I am guessing its not big in the US. I will without a doubt have Home For A Rest by Spirit of the West on my playlist. It always gets the party started because everyone gets on the dance floor for this song. If you don't know it you should check it out. Just a thought.

 

I am so far behind, I am just looking through all these threads now trying to get something together. Wish me luck. lol

I guess cause they are a Canadian band its much bigger here than anywhere else. Its just a good drunken party song that is all. So it gets everyone dancing.

I just found this site Make A Wedding Song Music List For Your Wedding or Ceremony! you can make a song list and email it or print it out and you can divide it into categories. I am trying it out right now, but so far it looks pretty cool. Just thought it might help someone.

2. At Last

3. Carnival - Celia Cruz
