how bout that old song "somebody's gonna hurt someone...before the night is thru....somebody's gonna hurt someone there's nothing we can do" ... come on everybody now....
We both just let everyone else plan it. We were both more interested in being married at the end of the day than all the hassle that goes with it. His mom is a big "But people will EXPECT ...." kind of person, so she took care of everything we didn't care about that "People would EXPECT" Really makes it alot easier......
bigrig, if you haven't already read my signature, read it carefully. I think the other members are right. If you can let her pick stuff out, you'll live longer and be happier.

I stand firm in my thinking that if all she cares about is 'how perfectly the whole thing can be done' then you should get the hell away from her asap. If she really cares about YOU then the flowers shouldn't matter more than you, right? or the right song? If all she wants is a big 'perfect' party then by all means have her through you a big "Bye-Bye" bash.

haha sorry I couldnt resist.
Anyways, Let the wife pick it out.
Good luck on the marriage
and pardon my stupid song
Ok I'll make a serious suggestion here.
At our wedding we played Steven Curtis Chapman's "I Will Be Here".
It's a very nice song, not sure how danceable it is though.
If you search on Kazaa you should be able to find it to take a listen.
FWIW, we didn't have the "parent's dance"--her father doesn't dance, & neither does the groom (ie, ME).
The wedding song was "I've Had the Time Of My Life" (our choice).
The next song was "Witchy Woman" (an inside joke).
The last song at the reception was Billy Joel's "This Night (Should Last Forever)".
Also played:
"Islands in the Stream" (Kenny Rogers & Dolly Parton)
"Comin' to America" (Neil Diamond)
"Maggie Mae" (Rod Stewart)
"You Took the Words Right Out Of My Mouth (Hot Summer Night)" (Meat Loaf)
"La Isla Bonita" (the only Madonna song that doesn't send me running for the bathroom)
"One Tin Soldier" (The Coven)
Songs I suggest not even thinking of playing at a wedding:
Billy Idol's "White Wedding"
Meat Loaf's "Paradise by the Dashboard Light"
Pretty much any ZZ Top.
J. Geils Band's "Centerfold"
My son and his new bride danced to George Strait and 'You look so good in love". She (the bride) started out with her father and they danced until the proper verse was played and he (her Dad) handed her off to the groom, who was escorting the bride's mother. Then the Groom and Bride danced while the Bride's parents danced untill the end of the song. Listen to the song and you will see how it plays out. The only bad part was that the groom's parents were left totally out of the deal and the Groom's mother was pretty upset that we weren't invited to participate. Any one who has seen me dance would understand that it was a blessing that we weren't invited. It was really nicely done and there wasn't a dry eye in the house.
I would suggest you look at something by Tony Bennet, The Temptations, Stevie Wonder, Van Morrison or someone like that. The important thing is that is has meaning to the bride and groom.
