Kevin Bacon does NOT want to cut footloose at your wedding. The "Footloose" star told Access Hollywood Monday that he still likes the 1984 movie's...
For those who are planning their weddings (and those who are simply romantics looking forward to their big days), I've pulled together 50 songs (some of my personal favorites), from Céline Dion to Luther Vandross, for each of what I hope will soon be the 50 states with legal gay marriage.
In a well-planned ceremony, the music flows seamlessly through to the end in perfect harmony, upholding well-preserved familial and religious traditions, and giving a deeper meaning to event.

With five-plus years of wedding planning experience, I'm here to tell you that not all DJs are created equal, and the good ones are worth their weight in gold.
This Spotify playlist includes music from the Beatles, Belle & Sebastian and more.

That's the thing with music. We can all hear the same song, but it can have a million different meanings to people. Everyone can tell you "Don't play the Chicken Dance song at your wedding!" But what if you and your guy danced like idiots to that song at a wedding, and it makes you both laugh at the memory?
