Music!!! I need help FAST!!!

[dml1216]

We are not having a DJ, but were told we could bring on our own Ipod and speakers and play anything we wanted. I've got about 20 mins worth of music selected, but I need some ideas. We leave THIS Sat. and are getting married on Sunday. Our reception is for 1 hour. I need some ideas. And, need them FAST!!! Ages attending the wedding are from 8 yrs old to 65 yrs old. We are 37 and 38!!!

 

Please, if you would be so kind to share your wedding/cruising/tropical appropriate music ASAP. Thanks!!!!!

In addition to more traditional wedding music, why not include some "cruise" themed tunes. They were all styles -- some really old, others just a little old. I can't remember them all, but here are some:

 

Beyond the Sea (Bobby Darrin)

Sea Cruise (Frankie Ford)

The Love Boat Theme

Too Many Fish in the Sea (Commitments)

Boat Drinks (Jimmy Buffett)

Fins (Jimmy Buffett)

Under the Sea (from the Little Mermaid)

Between the Devil and the Deep Blue Sea (Benny Goodman)

Slow Boat to China (Sinatra)

Vahevela (Kenny Loggins)

There are several websites that have wedding music lists as well. It's always fun to have some fun songs too, if that is your personality. For instance...

cake cutting...Pour Some Sugar on Me...Def Leppard

garter removing...Theme from Mission Impossible or Girls Just Want to Have Fun Theme from Jaws

Just some ideas. Have fun!!:)
