Wedding Update: Trying to find a balance in music tastes

Two nights ago I thought it would be a good idea for Mike and I to sit down and start thinking about music we wanted played at our wedding. I know it is a tad early for that in the whole process of wedding planning but I figured it would not be a bad idea to at least start brainstorming. I know things are going to get busy next winter/spring and I just would like to cross out what I can now rather than at the end and watch it blow up on me.

So what I thought would be an easy task turned into a nightmare. Mike wants “chill” music and I want “danceable” music. Do you see where this is heading? Neither one of us are huge music fans so we don’t typically listen to a lot of music. Everything I picked out I was questioned on and half of what he picked out I nixed because it either did not fit with the event or I had had my fill of “chill” music. At the end of the ordeal we ended up with about 8 songs on the dinner list (items you do not dance to but listen to while you arrive and eat) and about 7 on the dance list. Hopefully we will find a good dj to help us figure this out because I really do not want to argue over something as dumb as music!

Wish me luck and please suggest any songs you enjoyed at weddings you have attended or even ones played at your wedding.
