A reader asked an awesome question…

A: Before the ceremony, we had a cocktail hour with mostly swing and big band music by classic, agreeable artists like Frank Sinatra, Etta James, James Brown, Stevie Wonder, Glen Miller, Benny Goodman, etc.

We made a playlist and just had our sound engineer run it on Windows Media Player (I know) during the wedding. We had an entrance song (I Think I Love You by the Partridge Family, a nod to my David Cassidy-obsessed mom), then had the ceremony and went right into the dancing. Here’s a short list of some of the songs I remember…

First dance: Love at First Sight by Kylie Minogue
Father/daughter: What a Wonderful World by Louis Armstrong
Mother/son: I Will Follow You by Ricky Nelson

And then to get the party started…
The Party - Justice ft. Uffie
Crazy For You - Madonna (basically tons of Madonna)
A Cause des Garcons - Yelle
Fantasy - Mariah Carey
Evil - Ladytron
Guilt is a Useless Emotion - New Order
What Them Girls Like - Ludacris
American Boy - Estelle
Toxic - Britney Spears

Piece of Me (Tiesto Remix) - Britney Spears
Fancy Footwork - Chromeo
No More Words - Berlin
Without You - Seabound
Until the end of the World - Apoptygma Berserk
Folge Mir ins Licht - Melotron
Maneater - Nelly Furtado
My Lovin - En Vogue
Lovestoned - Justin Timberlake
Don’t Stop Believin’ - Journey
Eternal Flame - The Bangles
Let’s Make Love and Listen to Death From Above - CSS
Alive - Mondotek
Bump - Spank Rock
Leisure Suit - Moulinex
Lovefool - The Cardigans
Our Lips are Sealed - The GoGos
What I Like About You - The Romantics
Twist and Shout - Beatles

Anyway, we had over four hours of music, and there’s no way I could fit it all in here although if you really want to see it, you can e-mail me at meg@princesslasertron.com, and I’d be glad to send you the whole thing!

What was or is your first dance song?
