10 Songs NOT To Play At Your Wedding

Just saying… 😕

Kaiser Chiefs – Every Day I Love You Less And Less

Hint: Song title is a giveaway here!

Kanye West Gold Digger

Hint: Awkward if true.

Ludadris – Area Codes

Hint: It is not appropriate for the groom to have ‘hoe’s in different area codes”

Chris Brown Loyal

Hint: It’s a bit cynical isn’t it?

Lil Wayne Lollipop

Hint: I might be doing this song a disservice… maybe it actually is about lollipops.  In which case, include it.

Police Every Breath You Take

Hint: It’s about stalking.

John Mayer Your Body Is A Wonderland

Hint: “one pair of candy lips and your bubblegum tongue” 🤢

Taylor Swift Look What You Made Me Do

Hint: Be wary of approx. 50% of Tay Tay’s back catalogue.

Adele Someone Like You

Hint: Might make you paranoid that someone has actually turned up out the blue uninvited.

AC/DC Highway to Hell

Hint: Marriage is a good thing, right?
