115. No Hokey Pokey Please!

THE WEDDING IS 17 DAYS AWAY!


i need help with the music selection.....


we've picked out the songs we're walking down the aisle to and such. we've also picked out the music to play for the cocktail hour. and i've also picked out most of the music for the reception but i just want some ideas.....

i've picked a lot of 50's and 60's. i love love love that music and felt it was something that everyone would enjoy - not something obscure like all bjork music or something. i also included some songs from ABBA. a B52's song. some 'girls just wanna have fun'. some madonna. i even threw in a NKOTB song for me and kelly :) and possibly an N'SYNC song (it's 'bye bye bye' and yes - there is a reason for it)

i like all kinds of music but the 50's and 60's era is my favorite so i've just been kinda stuck there. so if anyone has any suggestions on fun dance songs - let me know! if you also have any suggestions from the 50's and 60's era - let me know them too! :)

we do have a dj and i do trust him but music is huge for me and i just want to make sure a bunch of crap isn't played. i requested no chicken dance or hokey pokey. i also requested no prince. not that i don't like the man but i couldn't take the chance 'pussy control' might get played...(shudder)...i can't stand that song.....

so...HELP!


what else?

we got our marriage liscense! yay! although i have to admit i'm more than irked. it cost $110. that didn't bother me so much as the fact that if we had taken some religious pre-marriage class we would have got $70 knocked off that $110! that's bull. you can get married in a court house with no mention of god and it's a marriage. a legal contract. so why does having a blessing from god constitute some massive discount. what a load of crap.

i still feel like i have a lot to get done. i have to finish making the favors. i have to create the seating chart. i have to get the place cards written out. and chris and i set a goal to lose 6 pounds each by the wedding. so we've got 17 days!

i'm hungry - is it lunchtime yet?

I told you you should've had "counseling" from the rabbi! She could've signed your form for you and saved $100! But alas..I think the State gives that discount because they think if you've had more pre-martial counseling you'll stay married....? I'm sure that if you got married in a courthouse but had someone sign off on your pre-marital stuff it would work the same way. Well, in any case you have your license and you'll be official! Whohooo!

Music - How about some David Bowie (ie: Young Americans, for instance) or some Outkast (Hey Ya...my personal dance favorite). 50's & 60's should get the dance floor hoping. Maybe a few 70's too - Stayin' Alive? Greased Lightnin', those seem to get big dance floor crowds.

I'm getting so excited! It's coming up FAST!!!!!
