The 23 Most Banned Wedding Songs

It happens at just about every wedding reception...you go up to request your favorite song and the DJ says, "sorry...the bride said no to that one."

It happens all the time.  Brides and grooms are paying a lot to make sure their wedding reception goes just the way they envisioned it in their minds.  So if they want to say no to a song, who is to argue.

So what are the songs that are most often taken off the playlist of DJs at weddings?

I could probably name a bunch.
