Before we changed what kind of favors gave out, we had a cd favor set up with a list of songs based on everyone in our family. We used the first dance songs for our parents, siblings, best friends, etc....

Next to each of the songs on the cd label, we had their names and wedding date.

So it was...

'Here and Now' -Luther Vandross
Mr. and Mrs. John Doe - October 27, 1991

'For Once In My Life' - Tony Bennett
Mr. and Mrs. John Doe - April 15, 1970.

Etc...

It was a really sweet sentiment and made it all that more special. But we opted out of doing it for other reasons.

We're doing songs that mean something to us, but are still fun for everyone else:

Copacabana
It's Not Unusual (Tom Jones)
Rock DJ (Robbie Williams)
In Your Eyes (Peter Gabriel)
I Can't Help Falling in Love With You (UB40)
Ain't No Mountain High Enough
American Girl (Tom Petty)
Let's Stay Together (Al Green)

and a few more I can't remember off the top of my head...then our song - Come Away With Me, Norah Jones and the ending clincher - the party boy theme from MTV's Jackass. FH's idea--he's a techno freak :)

We thought it'd be fun!

Ours:

1. For You…………………………Kenny Latimore
2. Love U 4 Life…………………..Jodeci
3. Tonight I celebrate my Love….. Peabo Bryson and Robert Flack
4. At Last…………………………..Roberta Flack
5. Don’t know why………………...Norah Jones
6. After all………………………….Peter Cetera and Cher
7. Don’t Know much……………….Aaron Neville and linda Ronstadt
8. Never Felt this way………………Alicia Keys
9. Kiss of Life……………………….Sade
10. Here and Now……………………Luther Vandross
11. Volver A amar……………….…..Christian Castro
12. He Vivido Esperando por Ti……….Alvaro Torres

Brian told me that if we did CDs that the lil suzy and TKS songs HAD to be on there... I improvised.. actually the older folks liked the way I blended the 'standard love songs' into the pop/techno/dance type songs with the Unchained melody remix...

Theresa, I must mail you one of mine. My list is at home, but I see so many similarities with ours and others.

We did a little old, a little new etc etc. We even had a little Reggae, a little gospel
