Wedding songs (a licky boom boom down)

Just quickly, to be a man of my word (important practice for wedding vows), here is the next blog and it is not about wedding clothes. 

You know what else I have been going mental about lately? The wedding songs. 

I may well be a mad man. I am considering play-listing all the songs in order on my ipod - to follow through ceremony, reception and party-disco - rather than simply picking out songs that we like and putting them on shuffle. 

The reception/disco part will last about 6 hours, from the 6pm start until whenever the archaic liquor licensing laws require us to stop. Can I seriously list out at least 6 hours' worth of songs in an order I like? I think I will have to. If I just hit shuffle, the songs might not play in an order that I like, or which is most conducive to a bell-curve of escalating fun and inebriation. Snow's Informer, for example, might commence blasting when people are still arriving at the venue, or trying to enjoy their meals without their eyes bugging out in disbelief, rather than when Vicky has had enough to drink to think that dancing on tables is a fantastic idea. That would be optimum and spectacular, though it requires foresight and careful planning. 

Ooh - Vicky's just piped up with a smashing idea. We are going to have a wine/champage/beer tasting party soon to get our friends and families to help us out picking the wedding booze. Vick's suggested we can have a playlist party too. Win.
