Marrying DH: All I want is you. the song that opened Juno. We walked back up the aisle to it. It surprised everyone and made them laugh. Our ceremony was very emotional. Dh surprised everyone including me by getting all choked up. This song lightened the mood and prepared us for the party!
Now: Lily Allen her music may not always have the happiest lyrics but the beat always makes me happy and I sing along anyway.
This is fun! Too bad I suck at remembering things. (and yes, I realize my formatting is back and forth)

Cecilia arrived 12 October 2012
High school: hmmm, there is a lot that could fit here, probably Living on a Prayer bc that was our team song for field hockey... although late 90s rap (ie. Nelly "Country Grammer", JayZ "big pimpin"', destiny's child, etc") always remind me of HS too....
College: again, too many... but a lot "dance" songs remind me of parties from different years. "Sandstorm" and "Heaven" (the remix, not bryan adams) freshman year, a lot of J.E.W., Weezer, FOB, and TBS in the middle, and then "Everytime we Touch" fistpumping at the end....
First job out of school: Holler Back - Gwen Stefani and Girls Not Grey - AFI
First love: first boyfriend (talking 5th-8th grade) Lisa Loeb "Stay, "real" first bf (in hs) Bon Jovi "Always" and Britney Spears "Sometimes" (hysterical)

First major move: anything Killers or Gorillaz (its what we paint to)
Meeting DH: see songs for First Job out of school.... and "Yellow" Coldplay
Marrying DH: "Strawberry Swing" Coldplay (what I walked down the aisle to).. first dance "Yellow"
Now: this moment I've been listening to Young Blood by The Naked and Famous non-stop the past few days, but it's by no means an anthem.... not really sure what will define "now"...
