Thanks in advance

    That depends on your tastes.

    do you want a compilation of slushy rock ballads

    a compilation of slushy take that tunes?

    a compilation of jazz standards

    a compilation of show tunes?

    you get the drift Smiley smile whatever you and your OH like listening to or that reflect the two of you.....

    i'm still trying to find my signing music and exit music.....

    No worries,

    It's always really hard to make a list of songs when you're actually trying to do so. What I sometimes advise is for people to just scribble songs that they like as they hear them, on the run up to the wedding.

    I'll be publishing lots on this topic (song ideas, dj play lists, etc) here over the coming weeks and months, as there seems to be a big demand it: Wedding Entertainment Blog

    If you have any areas for articles that would help you and others just let me know

    My registrar said we could either provide a list of songs we like, or they would just shove some easy listening romantic stuff on to break the silence.

    we were at the registry office to give notice, and there was a wedding going to start as we were leaving - the registrar had already put on her simply red CD....

    something tells me we'll provide them with a few boring love songs - anything's better than simply red!
