The following songs must be played at my wedding:
Now, it’s not fair to simply just ban music without giving some indication of songs that absolutely must be played at the wedding, whether they are simply fun, fit our personality, or have some special meaning to us. The following is that list, with examples when available. Note: it does not include “our song”.
The Way You Make-a Me Feel -- Michael Jackson

No explanation necessary
Get Down On It -- Kool and the Gang
This is going to be used to get everyone’s back up off the wall
Day-O (Banana Boat Song) -- Harry Belafonte
Will be played as the Shrimp is served
You Never Can Tell -- Chuck Berry
It worked so well for Ms. Mia Wallace and Vincent Vega
Regulators -- Warren G f/Nate Dogg
Now, Warren G is going to annoy my mom probably, but it is vital it be played.
I Believe In A Thing Called Love -- The Darkness
Entrance song
Caught Up In You -- .38 Special
I’ve threatened to include this so often for so long that Em now likes the song
Hotel Yorba -- White Stripes
This might be somewhat played out, but it’s too good not to include.
I Love You -- the Bees
Too smooth to not play at the wedding
When My Baby’s Beside Me -- Big Star
Only because Thirteen might be too beautiful/slow
Golden -- My Morning Jacket
Would have been “our song” if it weren’t so damn long
I Only Want You -- Eagles of Death Metal
We listened to this all the time when we first started hanging out
Do You Realize -- The Flaming Lips
I think this would be the perfect “last song”
And there you have it. Granted, I’ll have other requests for the DJ, but my goal is to let him do what we’re paying him to do -- choose songs to keep people moving.

What, no B52′s “Love Shack”? That was a huge hit at my sister’s wedding…

That wasn’t on the banned list? No, it can’t be because my fiancee loves it. But I personally find that song to be repulsive, disgusting, and one of the worst songs ever put to tape. I really can’t express my hatred of that song strong enough.
