Jen and Kyle's wedding on Saturday night was even more fun than I expected. I volunteered to CO ropes at Windy Gap and free time was supposed to be done by 4:45, so ropes should have been done by 3:45. Nope. Try 5pm. Wedding starts at 6:30. Half-hour drive home, half-hour drive to wedding. Go. Holy shit. I did it, but just barely. I don't think my heart stopped beating wildly until they were pronounced. There is something that is so much fun about getting really dressed up every now and then; getting to see people who are normally in jeans and fleeces in heels and pearls. It was a whole night of dress up, and it had people in great spirits. I had a great dress (thank you, you three) and really needed a night of feeling pretty; a mojo kickstart in a way. Everyone partied sufficiently if I do say so myself. After the wedding a bunch of us headed to Barley's for an after party. I got home at close to 2am. That's way too many hours in heels if you ask me, but wow was it fun. Next up: The martini Christmas party! The event of December! Anyway, I started this list quite a while ago and thought I'd post it—again, every list is incomplete and it's up to you to complete it. Here's one befitting this weekend.

I totally made a list like this when Steph asked me to be in her wedding! BFF's!
Here are a few additions:
Still Haven't Found What I'm Looking For - U2
It Must Have Been Love - Roxette
All I Want To Do Is Make Love to You - Heart
Jackson - Johnny & June
Dangit, does that mean I can't walk down the aisle to I'm in love with a stripper? Because that was the plan.
Happy turkey day, my friend! I hope you get drunk with Karl and watch Cars.
Since you challenged me in person on this list,
how about
Don't Speak by No Doubt
Who's Gonna Ride Your Wild Horses-U2
You Shook Me All Night Long-ACDC
Leslie
as well as, She has a girfriend now-Reel Big Fish
I didn't see this one on the list, but a friend of mine dj'd a wedding reception and the bride & groom's first dance was to "You've Lost That Loving Feeling"...ummm, I'm serious!
Sad that I missed the wedding, but the Carribean was fun.

Spoon,
Love the "Songs Not to Play at a Wedding" list. Don't forget Satisfaction by the Stones. Very key. This weekend Aunt Carolyn kept reminding me of the Unromantic Dictionary and telling me (after MANY drinks) that we absolutely have to publish it in book form. Oh Aunt Carolyn. Love it.
Mwah!
Love the Hatch
Oh! Also to be included on the list by the Cherry Bombs: "It's Hard to Kiss the Lips at Night that Chew My Ass Out All Day Long"
OK I apoliguze for all the comments, however, I re-read the list and noticed that you did remember to include Satisfaction. However nowhere do I see "If you wanna be happy for the rest of your life never make a pretty woman your wife." Did I miss that one? And funny - at ever wedding of my college housemates, we request and sing to Strawberry Wine. Mostly because it is completely inappropriate.
this is the week, I can feel it. Good things are gonna happen. Maybe that's just quizzo, but that can be enough can't it?
"It's Hard to Kiss the Lips at Night that Chew My Ass Out All Day Long"
this song. this song I need...
