Wedding Playlists: Reception



Hey, so Ilana and I got married back in May.  It was awesome.  If you're reading this, there's a pretty good chance that you were there.

It was a perfect day for many reasons.  Further down that list (though maybe not as far as you'd think), it was a chance for us to subject a captive audience to a large number of our favorite songs.

For those of you hoping to stage Ilana and Aaron Wedding historical re-enactments, I thought I'd put all of our wedding playlists up on the blog.

Today:  Reception!  Goal:  Classics.  All ages on the floor.  No slow songs.
