Hi there,

I'm in the middle of writing my list of songs that we definately want to hear at the wedding, and I need some ideas and inspiration. 

My list is going fairly well, but I just now there are songs I can't think of right now.  Did anyone else do this for their DJ?  Would you mind posting your list?

Thanks!

I love your choices!!! Except for Gwen Stefani, I would choose No Doubt over just her, but thats me. I do not really like her now that she has branched off on her own. Too Cluby for me. Good choices, thanks for some ideas since FH & I are into rock music too.
