We’re now at t-minus 11 days and counting until the big day… I’m beyond the point of denial that it’s so close and inching past freakout … now I’m just sort of… in disbelief. Like … wow. Still a lot to do between now and then and it doesn’t feel like it will all come together, but I know it will. At least that’s what everyone keeps telling me. One thing I still need to do is come up with a track list for the karaoke portion of the reception (yes, I briefly considered having the entire wedding orchestrated in karaoke style, but it was really hard to find a karaoke minister…) — the trick is, in order to avoid having someone sing “Cat Scratch Fever” or something by Eminem at our wedding celebration, I’d like to restrict the song selection to love songs. Yeah, I know, I’m such a drag… While making such a list sounds really easy, it’s … not. Especially when you want to have a lot of songs so as to make it seem like people have a lot of choices even though you are stifling their inner diva. Luckily my awesome friend Lauren from work is an expert in all things cheesy and cool, especially when it comes to music (plus did I mention she happens to be an ABBA-ologist? It’s true.) and provided a quick list to get me started. Check out some of her picks:

Wedding Bell Blues – The 5th Dimension
Even the Nights are Better – Air Supply
I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do, I Do – ABBA
Lady – Little River Band
If I Can’t Have You – Yvonne Elliman
God Only Knows – The Beach Boys
Love Will Keep Us Together – Captain & Teneille
You Sexy Thing – Hot Chocolate
I Love You – Climax Blues Band
Hopelessly Devoted to You – Olivia Newton-John
Kiss is On My List – Hall & Oates
More Than a Feeling – Boston

Totally awesome, right? Well, even though I’ve been pretty hush-hush about all of this wedding planning stuff, this is the audience participation portion of the program so I’m asking you, Internet people, nay — begging you — for help in adding the best karaoke love song choices to add to the list. I know you probably have your own private list of favorite karaoke love songs, so leave your suggestions in the comments and help me out!
