The Official Wedding Song Thread.....

Too many threads flying about first dance, mother/son, father/daughter, entrance songs, cake cutting...etc. So, let's list them all here. Please keep in mind that for each person it changes so you can always edit for yourself. Keep up with it that way you can always come back here and find what you have decided. This is really just because I have so many papers everywhere with lists.
