Non-cheesy songs for the mother/groom dance

We have a post about non-sappy father/daughter dance songs, but we don’t have one about mother/son dances. Let’s rectify this!

11 modern waltzes for your first dance

The first dance is something I’m particularly excited about, but here is the issue — the groom only knows how to waltz in 3/4 time. So here’s the deal… I’d like to know your favorite modern songs in 3/4 time, ie, Waltzin’ Songs. My groom and I would like something sweet and peppy, and not too “classic.” Got any ideas?

Wedding standards and audience participation songs that won’t embarrass you

I’ve seen the posts about first dance and father-daughter dance songs that aren’t overdone and cheesy. But there’s another tune or two that haven’t been addressed yet… The overdone “party songs” that everyone knows, and that people (who may or may not be “too cool” for stuff, like myself) will always dance and sing along to. I hate them. So I’m on the hunt: What are some well-known, yet not-so-cheesy-and-“standard” songs that I can sub in for the usual wedding tunes?

Yes, you can use Spotify as your wedding DJ

Before we got married, I read SO MANY posts about how it’s just easier to hire a DJ and not worry about ceremony music on an iPod. Still… I wasn’t having it. I wanted to control the music, I wanted to make it our own, and I didn’t want to pay out the wazoo for any of it. Our solution? Spotify.
