As I've mentioned before, Melissa asked me to be the DJ/Emcee at her wedding. I have yet to figure out what I'm actually going to say as the Emcee, but I think the most of the DJ work is over for now. The really hard thing about music at a wedding reception is that has to appeal to a large crowd. All ages will be there, so it should all be family friendly and as much as I might like dancing to Sexyback, Grandma might not have the same appreciation for it. The bride definitely wants everyone there to have a good time and heck...I want to have a good time, too!
For those interested, here is the playlist that I've come up with (with the help of the bride, the groom, and my home teacher)

PS. Anyone out there got any good tips for being an Emcee?

My hubby usually reads a large quantity of corny jokes from a book at the library or off of the internet to prepare for emcee-ing. He usually just does the Miss Toquerville pageant, so he reads dumb Dad-type jokes. He doesn't end up using many of them, but they get him in the proper frame of mind.
brilliant playlist, by the way.
