    Hey Ladies!

         We are having our reception at a nice cafe that is a mile down the road from the church we're getting married at & happens to be owned by the church.  We're serving cake and hor doerves (sp?).  There won't be dancing because there won't be room and the church won't allow it.  However, I am making an iPod playlist to be played during the reception.  The only problem is that I've been so busy with wedding planning for the last 9 months, I've been distracted and haven't updated my iPod as often as I used to with current songs.  I'd LOVE to hear your ideas for my playlist.  Since there won't be dancing, I'm going to probably go with more laid back songs vs. dance music.  The songs I already have in mind span from classics ("The Way You Look Tonight") to oldies ("ABC" by Jackson 5) to Top 40 ("1234" by Plain White Tees".  Please help!!!
