Our external hard drive crashed pretty soon after the wedding so I lost our playlist. ;_; I made a copy for my sister before it died but I doubt she is willing to go through and type up a list of every single song on the cd.

I'm thinking of renaming my mp3 of "Wake Me Up Before You Go-Go" something else, like "Don't Stop Til You Get Enough" or "Groove is in the Heart", so whoever is manning the iPod can't foil my plans.

We also included the "Please select two songs for the reception" form in our invitations and with a few executive editorial decisions came up with this playlist - it went over well and accommodated all the parents, relatives, friends, coworkers, and drone rockers in the audience ranging from age 14 to 92.
Aside #1: There was another differently-ordered playlist set aside if there was going to be a big dancing crowd, but as it turned out most people were into socializing, chowing down on food/drink, and maybe dancing on occasion. I had way more music set aside than what was actually used, but all turned out well
Standing-around-waiting music was provided by a fellow band member who played backgroundy ambient stuff on electric guitar where he switched to an instrumental "God Only Knows" for us to walk down the aisle together. After the "ladies and gentlemen, may we present Mr. & Mrs..." the Beach Boys' version kicked in. We didn't do a first dance per se, but the first song on for us was Spiritualized's "Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space" (the full "Elvis ending" version)
In the end, the playlist was:
The Beach Boys - "God Only Knows" Spiritualized - "Ladies And Gentlemen We Are Floating In Space (Elvis Mix)" Harry Connick Jr. - "It Had To Be You" Django Reinhardt - "All Of Me" Frank Sinatra - "I Get A Kick Out Of You" Etta James - "At Last" Diana Krall - "I've Got You Under My Skin" Tom Waits - "Little Trip To Heaven (On The Wings Of Your Love)" Frank Sinatra - "I Could Write A Book" K.D. Lang & Tony Bennett - "Dream A Little Dream Of Me" Billie Holiday - "The Way You Look Tonight" James Carr - "Young Lovers" Al Green - "Let's Stay Together" Count Basie And His Orchestra / Frank Sinatra - "The Best Is Yet To Come" Stan Getz & Astrud Gilberto - "The Girl From Ipanema" Jane Birkin - "69 Année Érotique (en duo avec Gainsbourg)" Françoise Hardy - "Ce petit coeur" The Beatles - "In My Life" Robert Plant & Alison Krauss - "Stick With Me Baby" Stevie Wonder - "Ribbon In The Sky" John Lee Hooker - "Dimples" Frank Sinatra - "Always" Ingrid Michaelson - "The Way I Am" Jonathan Richman - "I Took A Chance On Her" Vashti Bunyan - "Some Things Just Stick In Your Mind" Roxy Music - "Take A Chance With Me" Lush - "Sweetness And Light" Ivy - "Edge Of The Ocean" The Verve - "Space And Time" Mazzy Star - "Fade Into You" Ed Kuepper - "I'm With You" The Jesus And Mary Chain - "My Girl" Survivor - "The Search Is Over" The Beatles - "Here There And Everywhere" The Electric Prunes - "I Happen To Love You" The Kinks - "Everybody's Gonna Be Happy" Snow Patrol - "Chasing Cars" The Call - "Like You Never Been Loved" Maria McKee - "You Gotta Sin To Get Saved" Little Heroes - "One Perfect Day" Emmylou Harris - "(You Never Can Tell) C'est La Vie" The Spinanes - "Sunday" Love - "You I'll Be Following" Tindersticks - "A Marriage Made In Heaven" The Association - "Cherish" Weezer - "Island In The Sun" Brian Eno - "I'll Come Running" The Lovetones - "Inside A Dream" Goo Goo Dolls - "Give A Little Bit" Lush - "For Love" Aretha Franklin - "Respect" The Drifters - "Save The Last Dance For Me" Roy Orbison - "Oh, Pretty Woman" Hope - "Who Am I To Say" Manic Street Preachers - "Everything Must Go" Tapes n Tapes - "Crazy Eights" The Proclaimers - "I'm Gonna Be (500 Miles)" Sarah Vaughan - "Ain't Misbehavin'" Edwin Starr - "25 Miles" The Four Tops - "I Can't Help Myself (Sugar Pie Honey Bunch)" Spectrum - "How You Satisfy Me" Talking Heads - "Take Me To The River" Blondie - "Dreaming" Katrina And The Waves - "Walking On Sunshine" Glen Hansard & Marketa Irglova - "Falling Slowly" Bob Seger - "Old Time Rock & Roll" The Rolling Stones - "Happy" Outkast - "Hey Ya!"

Final countdown was right after ceremony, like a "we're starting this!" thing. Devo Corporate Anthem was wedding march music.

My cousin's wedding was a couple of weeks ago and along with the invites they included a little form for each guest to put down 3 songs that they would like to suggest to be played at the reception. They didn't promise to play all the selections, but there were definitely some and I guess that it gave them plenty of ideas at least. I thought it was a nice touch.
