Ah. . .weddings. . .

This summer has been full of weddings! A school friend got married. . . another friend that found her husband on the internet (a christian dating website!) got married. . .and now the best of them all- my sister's wedding!

Being her Maid of Honor, or moh, I'm planning her Bachelorette party, a wedding music surprise, and her wedding playlists. The sweet sounds of Journey and Michael Buble fill my thoughts!

I have a tentative list for the wedding reception playlist, but am constantly doubting my selections. Who dances at weddings? What do they dance to? Should I please the "dancing" group, a little bit for everyone, or my tastes? I realize this sounds selfish, but my tastes are really close to my sister's. . .

There are a few common mistakes that wedding DJs often do:
1 . Play too many of the same type (Electric slide, Cha-Cha Slide, Cupid Shuffle) all in a row
2. Play a lot of high energy/low energy songs together (Jump Jive and Wail followed by Beer Barrel Polka or a litany of slow songs one after another)
3. Play songs that you can sing to, but not dance to (The three other playlists should take care of this problem. . . Really? How do you dance to That's Amore?)

Okay. . enough rambling. . .
