Default Wedding Slideshow Song - CP Help

CP I need your help.. I've been tasked with creating a slideshow for my sister's wedding. I'm hoping someone can help provide an appropriate soundtrack to suit this slideshow. I know with the varying tastes on this board there certainly must be some quality recommendations. I'm looking for something modern, and fun. Please help! CP you've never fail me.

My wife and I used "Ready to Start" by the Arcade Fire.

It's a bit poppy, catchy and the title is appropriate enough.

After the slideshow I also had an "opening act" of Mr. Computer who told jokes, it was cheesy, corny, and ended with the crowd boo'ing a projected screen. It was one of my proudest moments.

Anyway:

If an upbeat and poppy song is something you're looking for, try "shut up and dance" by walk the moon.

Marry Me by Train is a good slow wedding slideshow song.

I agree though, the bride and groom should be choosing some of the songs for the slideshow, especially for their childhood photos, and their "dating" photos. Do they have songs that mean a lot to them as a couple?

My brother used "Pretty Fly For A White Guy" as my montage song. It got some good laughs for sure.

F the police - NWA. Seriously though what are their interests like in music? Do they like more pop/RnB/Hip Hop/Rock?
