    Reception Entrance: All My Rowdy Friends are Coming Over Tonight - Hank Jr.

    Subject to change, but so far, processional is the Star Trek Voyager theme and the recessional is Twilight Run from Steven Universe. For the first dance, we might end up practicing to all our choices and then seeing what we feel like doing on the actual day, but our options are the Turret Opera from Portal 2, Alone Together from SU, the Patricia O'Callaghan cover of I'm Your Man, Go Places by the New Pornographers, or Shut Up and Dance by Walk the Moon.

    Processional: Instrumental of "Somebody" by Depeche Mode (Played by my Uncle! He's recording it now).

    Recessional: I'm debating: "Born Slippy" or "Scribble" by Underworld, "It was a Good Day" by Ice Cube, or "Enjoy the Silence" by Depeche Mode ("all I ever wanted/All I ever needed is here in my arms")

    We aren't doing dances or cake cutting music...that I know of. lol

    @m.... OMG that is the best reception entrance song EVER. Wish I'd thought of that one.

    Processional: What A Wonderful World - Louis Armstrong

    Recessional: Signed, Sealed, Delivered - Stevie Wonder

    (We had a private ceremony so the entire wedding party entered and exited to the same song)

    Reception entrance: Thunderstruck - AC/DC for BM & GM, University of Iowa Fight Song for DH and me

    Cake cutting: Honeybee - Blake Shelton

    Bouquet toss: You Can't Take the Honky Tonk Out of the Girl - Brooks & Dunn

    Garter toss: Marie Laveau - Bobby Bare

    (DH's idea to do these things... I don't think anyone really does them any more)

    First dance: La Vie En Rose - Louis Armstrong

    Last song of the night: All the Girls Get Prettier at Closing Time - Mickey Gilley
