If the wedding reception boasts a live band, they might be requested to play a favorite song or two for the bride and groom's special first dance. (Ask in advance, to allow practice time.)

If a deejay is spinning discs, then the bride and groom can check with him or her ahead of time and prepare a wedding song CD with their chosen dance numbers.
