I am getting married and trying to pick the music for the reception for things like the first dance (bride and groom only) and just to have played at the wedding. In general my taste in music runs more to hard rock, metal, and punk but id like to have some well recognised good love songs mixed in as well

There is a song by Creed called "Hide". There is also "Feels Like Home" by Bonnie Rait--It's on the Michael Sound Track (you know the movie with John Travolta) There is "When I need You" by Leo Sayer (oldie, but, goodie) My all time favorite---I'm not a country music fan, but, "Love of My Life" by Sammy Kershaw--that just makes me melt. I like songs that are not or have not been played to death on the radio. Look through all of your and your friend's cds, listen to the non-radio tracks--you would be suprised what you'll find--some of the best music that hasn't been played yet.

Try Aerosmith - Don't want to miss a thing. That is one of the songs my fiance wanted. He changed his mind, though, so we are doing Always and Forever - Heatwave. He is worse than a woman planning our wedding! He has changed his mind about all the plans at least once! lol
