Goin' to the chapel

At a graduation party in Unionville last weekend I was chatting with a young woman who is getting married in March in New Orleans. She is formidably organized and has already found her dress and her bridesmaids' dresses and lined up the venue, the caterer, the florist, the photographer and the DJ. The latter asked her to supply a list of 20 must-play songs and 20 must-not-play songs. We had fun coming up with suggestions for the latter, among them Lady Gaga's "Bad Romance" (great song anywhere but at a wedding reception) and the Village People's campy "In the Navy" (the bride's uncle is a Navy veteran and would not react well).
