If there was ever an occasion to curate a kick-ass playlist, it would be your wedding reception — am I right? This is no sweet 16, you’re getting married, and there’s a good chance that footage from *the most important party of your life* will find its way to the Internet, taunting you and your 200 tipsy guests for ALL TIME… So, please discard the “Cool Beatz” and “Party 2009” playlists you know I’d find in your iTunes library and listen up.
