Our Song List

[Christine]

We had a friend DJ for us so my hubby (who is very particular about music) picked almost our entire list.

I thought I would post it here in case anyone else wanted to borrow it.

 

I don't love all these songs but my hubby does and the ones that were played (our Dj had one CD player broke) were all danced to.

many thanks!

[MsShelley]

I am in the stages of making mine too, this is very helpful!

[JulieG]

I have not started making mine yet. Wow, I have so much to do. Does someone want to make it for me. lol I wish, this is the one thing FH and I have to do, no one else can do this part for us.

[Clussy75]

To echo a couple others... PERFECT TIMING! We're in the midst of putting ours together now too and just went and bought a new iPod to load 'em all up to. This is such a big help. Thank you so much Christine!

[brandy '08]

One song that our DJ played (must have been requested by a guest) was Sweet Caroline by Neil Diamond.. horrible song to try to dance to but we had so much fun with it.. Neil "Sweet Caroline" Guests "Da, Da , Da" "So good! So good! So good!" Fingers pointing in the air, people jumping up and down.. crazy!! Guess you had to be there.

[Christine]

oh I think we had that one too
