The subject of
music has several approaches. Provided is a list of popular songs that have been
requested in the past. However, if you have a special request for a special dance, a Father/Daughter
dance or the first dance with your new spouse, ask me and I will do my best to find it for you!
Of note, I refuse to carry songs that contain parental guidance labels or songs that I feel could be
offensive.
