I have to admit, my wife came up with a great list of songs for our wedding, yes of course I added a few songs in. However she already had a great list so I didn’t have to give to much of my input. As you can probably tell by our selection of songs, we wanted to have more of a big party then a traditional wedding. Also that we love 80-90s music. People still randomly bring up how great it was.
My wife also had a awesome idea for our introduction / entrance music… I put it together to make sure that it was done the way we wanted it and not the DJ. It’s a mix of Hells Bells by AC/DC that quickly turns into Raining Blood by Slayer. Not sure I ever imagined having any songs by Slayer at my wedding while growing up, but I guess I can say she probably never envisioned Kenny G at hers. It’s all about compromising.
Here is our list of songs that were played, linked to their youtube videos. We had more but somehow they were not in the document that we had saved. Other songs were also added as guest requested them.
