This is a great thread! Thanks for all the great songs everyone!! I've got a while to plan but once I have a list, I'll add it!

 

One song I really love and I'm not sure where to incorporate it is Hallelujah by Leonard Cohen, (maybe K.D. Lang's version after hearing her sing it in the opening ceremonies.. beautiful!)

Thanks everyone! I am working on mine and appreciate all the ideas!
