Last night, I had the honor of putting together a wedding DJ playlist for Phil & Lindsey Trautwein. For those of you who don't know, Phil is an offensive linebacker for the St. Louis Rams. His best man, Drew Miller, is the Rams center. Keith Null, was also in attendance (and actually performed the ceremony), is the back up quarterback. The wedding took place in a backyard and everything turned out great. There was even a pool, and, yes, it did come into play later that evening!



Phil & Lindsey's Wedding Agenda signed by Phil Trautwein (LB), Drew Miller (C), & Keith Null (QB). Oh, and of course, Mrs. Trautwein!

First, I wanted to share some of the great new songs we can add to our 2010 wedding DJ playlist. These songs were mainly requested by a few of the bridesmaids. Some songs didn't work so well,so I'll only share the best ones they gave me. These are some more of the 2010 songs to get people dancing.

ROUND ROUND ROUND -- BLACK DADA
TEACH ME HOW TO DOUGIE -- CALIFORNIA SWAG DISTRICT
NOT AFRAID(WARNING CONTENT) -- EMINEM
RIDIN' SOLO -- JASON DERULO
CALIFORNIA GURLS -- KATY PERRY F SNOOP DOGG
DYNAMITE -- TAIO CRUZ
BREAK YOUR HEART -- TAIO CRUZ F LUDACRIS
LIL FREAK(WARNING CONTENT) -- USHER F NICKI MINAJ
DROP -- YING YANG TWINS

I know, only a few, but it seems like these songs come and go so fast, you need to use them while they're hot. Now, onto the story of how I ended up in the pool!

The best man was the first to get pushed in. He started off dancing with all the bridesmaids around him and some dudes sneaked around and pushed him in. Next came the groom. Eventually all the groomsmen were just jumping in. All the bridesmaids changed out of their nice dresses and hit the water. Believe it or not, even the bride jumped in! She did change of course. The remaining 20 or so guests decided they wanted in on the fun. Everyone was in the pool, except me and the photographers. All the wedding party members and guests started chanting, "Jimmy! Jimmy!" so what was I supposed to do? I jumped in to screams of delight. Next, the wedding coordinator, both sets of parents, fully clothed, and both photographers, and all three videographers went in.

Everybody who was left at the wedding was in the pool!

It was such a fun wedding and I had a great time putting together their wedding dj playlist, which, of course included Splish Splash by Bobby Darin and The Jaws Theme!
