****HELP ME compile the ultimate WEDDING PARTY SONG LIST!*** (Im doing the DJ song list)

[KittyLetteItBe]

Basically my DJ is young, only 20ish, he uses a laptop and wasnt very confident at the christening (but was a last minute thing) he did for us and I didnt like the music, but he was a lovely bloke and still want him for the wedding.

So Ive decided to just do my own list, give it to him and just get him to sit there, look pretty and press 'play'

So what songs would you definatly want to hear at a wedding party??

Looking for classic golden oldies, bit of 80's, recent songs, (I have to have a bit of MCR there too or else Ill be grumpy all night, lol)

Anything and everything!

My mind has gone blank!!

No westlife or takethat

Michael Jackson and Madonna are always good for parties!
Im getting married in 5 weeks and thats the sort of thing we will have!
Our 1st dance is going to be "I love you just the way you are" by Barry White

Were having 'stand by me' sang by John Lennon

Walking on Sunshine - Katrina and the Waves
The Only Way is Up - Kazoo

Am I revealing my age?

Lol, they had kazoo at my mums wedding, i rememver danciing to it!
