    For me, other than the tbd first dance song, there are a handful of songs/artists that I absolutely must hear at my reception.

    In no specific order they are:

    • (I've Had) the Time of My Life by Bill Medley and Jennifer Warnes.  I recognize how very cheesy this is, but I blame it on a childhood full of hours spent watching Dirty Dancing.  I just want to be Baby for approximately 5 minutes... 
    • Benny and the Jets by Elton John
    • Just Like Heaven by the Cure
    • Jesse's Girl by Rick Springfield
    • The Joker by Steve Miller Band
    • ABBA...anything
    • Michael Jackson....anything

    What songs are on yours?

    -Two is better than one by Boys Like Girls & Taylor Swift

    -California Love by Tupac (I'm from Southern Cali!)

    -I Gotta Feeling by Black Eyed Peas

    -Love Shack by The B-52's

    And I'm sure there's more that I'm forgetting, but these are my musts!!! ;]
