100 Wedding Songs

Wedding

I mentioned I was putting together a wedding playlist for my brother's wedding next month.  I wanted 100 songs that were decent, wouldn't offend and had an appropriate theme for such an occasion.  This wasn't as easy as it sounds, and to make things a little trickier, I capped the number of songs per artist at two.

Here's my initial stab at it.  I've got a bit of time to perfect this before I cut the disc.  If there's a song on this list you passionately disagree with, let me know in the comments.  Conversely, if there's a song missing that you believe absolutely has to be there, chime in.

Without further ado, here are the Wedding 100, sorted alphabetically by artist.
