Music mayhem!

Don't let two anal retentive, organized people even think about planning the music for any kind of gathering.

What you'll end up with is a list of 10 hours' worth of music deemed "appropriate" for a wedding and a DJ who has no flexibility whatsoever.

We spent last night finish up our wedding playlist. I felt something like Andy Travis from WKRP in Cincinnati, trying to put together the perfect mix of music for my friends and family.

Most of all, though, we went heavy on meaningful lyrics, especially on slow songs. Jessica and I share a fondness for finding the perfect song that says the perfect thing.

That spells trouble for the poor DJ, who has very little flexibility to do much of anything. But I'm sure he'll make the most of it, and probably take some cheap shots at us for telling him when and where he can play anything.

And yes, it's true, there is a FORBIDDEN SONG LIST. Don't challenge him on it. There will be no Hokey Pokey, Chicken Dance or Electric Slide. Similarly, Gloria Estefan and Celine Dion won't be a part of the party.

If you'd really like to dance to these wedding standards, contact David as soon as possible and he'll give you instructions on how you can pay the caterer and get the party you want on the 29th.
