5-14-11: Wedding Songs

Last weekend, a buddy of mine got married. It was a very nice and fun wedding, and went off (from my eyes) without a hitch. I didn't know which song he had chosen for the first dance, but once it came on, I knew the rest of the playlist would be good:

Another good one is "Wonderful Tonight" by Eric Clapton:
