marriage mixtape

so I'm totally on this marriage kick. I've fallen in love with a totally awesome guy and we're talking about getting married (at some point not really soon). but I'm making a mix of songs that I want to play at my/our wedding. I decided years ago that I was refusing to hire a DJ and risking their shitty music. So I want a list of the songs I want played. I want non-traditional stuff, but stuff that's still sweet and good to dance to (mostly slow stuff because we're I'm sort of rhythmically challenged). here is what I have so far:

Ashley Tisdale Kiss the Girl
Bo Bice Inside Your Heaven
Buckcherry Untitled
Chantal Kreviazuk Feels Like Home
Copeland You Have My Attention
Dashboard Confessional As Lovers Go
Edwin McCain I Could Not Ask For More
Hinder Lips of an Angel (despite it's cheating connotations, this is our song)
James Carrington Ache
Lifehouse Breathing
Mae Ready & Waiting to Fall
Maria Mena You're the Only One
Matchbox Twenty Long Day
Nickelback Far Away
Nightmare of You My Name is Trouble
Saving Jane Come Down to Me
Snow Patrol Chasing Cars
Something Corporate Heroine (the piano only pre-Punk Rock Princess)
Unwritten Law Rest of My Life
Youth Group Forever Young

feel free to leave suggestions (because I'd love them) and comments.

thanks. :)

Not bad. :) For your wedding, though, it should be an intensely personal set of songs - I can give suggestions, but really, they should come from you and your other half.

'Flames' by VAST has to be one of the ultimate love songs. My other favourites are:

Death Cab For Cutie - Marching Bands Of Manhattan
Elliott - Drive On To Me
The Format - Inches & Falling
Pete Yorn - Undercover
Iron & Wine - Such Great Heights
Frou Frou - Let Go
Jets To Brazil - Sweet Avenue
John Mayer - Your Body Is A Wonderland
Maria Taylor - Speak Easy
Of Montreal - Disconnect The Dots
The Reindeer Section - You Are My Joy
Rilo Kiley - With Arms Outstretched
The Spill Canvas - So Much

You could also include anything by Sigur Rós.

A lot of the kind of stuff from the Garden State soundtrack would work, I think.
