What a perfect time for this thread to be bumped. My cousin's wedding was yesterday (because of course it was the day after Thanksgiving, god damn it Betsy) so I was just thinking of it earlier. I have decided that Kiss Me Once needs to be my first dance, and I Won't Change You the first song for everyone to dance to. I have also decided that at some point Your Love Is My Drug needs to be played. Finally, I have decided that there will need to be copious amounts of Kylie and A*Teens. As a result, I think I may have to invite @iheartpoptarts to my wedding so she can be the DJ because I literally don't know if I trust anyone else. (Actually, my honest to God plan is to make the playlist myself ahead of time instead of having an actual DJ. And god help my future fiancée if she doesn't like it.) (Oh god I'm going to be a total bridezilla.) By the way, the only songs at my cousin's reception that I recognized were Isn't She Lovely, At Last, Uptown Fuck, and that "shut up and dance with me" song. Which is a total bop, actually.
I legit planned to request Some Girls at my cousin's reception, along with Run Away with Me. But the DJ didn't take requests.
All In My Mind by Blondfire will be the first dance for me and the bf. It's gorgeous and the sentiment is perfect. Plus it's very reminiscent of our early relationship.
indeed, the world would be a much better place if everyone was FILLED WITH SEXUALITY on their wedding nights.
