I just realized I never told anyone what our final song choices were!! So this will be brief, but in the end this is what we chose for the whole reception…

Since the Chicago Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup this summer, and all of our parents are Blackhawks fans, I thought it would be fitting to have them all walk in to the team’s theme song…Chelsea Dagger.

Our usher’s walked out to Black Eyed Peas, Boom Boom Pow…we wanted to set the tone for the evening, and we thought this song was so much fun!

Our attendants walked out to Usher’s OMG…they loved it and all danced on their way out to it!! I could hear all the hooting and hollering outside!

And Mr. P and I walked out to Black Eyed Peas, Meet Me Halfway…I love that song and sometimes in relationships, you have to meet halfway. I think Mr. P and I are pretty good with that.

We cut our cake to Ingrid Michaelson’s The Way I Am…I love this song. It’s so short and Mr. P loves me the way I am (and vice versa of course!)…cause this girl isn’t going to change! He loves all my quirks and I love his.

We decided our first dance should Adele’s Make You Feel My Love. It’s such a romantic song and I love the lyrics. Plus Adele has this amazing, sultry voice…it’s almost soothing and it calmed me down a little to hear that song and be dancing with my new husband.

Our father/daughter, mother/son was to Fleetwood Mac’s Landslide, the live version. I chose this because I LOVE when Stevie Nicks says “This is for you daddy” at the beginning. I made sure the DJ played that part so my dad could here…poor guy almost started crying! He said to me “Stop it kid…I’ve got a knot in my throat and can’t lose it out here!” Ha!! I love my dad!

I know it’s cliché, but I chose Beyonce’s Single Ladies for my bouquet toss…it’s just too perfect of a song!

My coordinator came up with the garter toss son…it was The Donna’s Take it Off! Although Mr. P didn’t take off the garter (I felt really uncomfortable with that) we thought it was a funny song for the toss anyways.

And to get the party really started, we thought Justin Timeberlake’s Sexy Back was a good way to invite our bridal party on the dance floor.

And to get everyone on the dance floor, our DJ chose Black Eyed Pea’s I Gotta Feeling…

The last song will always remind me of our wedding. It was amazing to see everyone at the wedding, young and old, on the dance floor dancing and having a blast with us! It was more than a good night. I was the best night of my life so far!
