Default What kind of music do you play at a wedding?

I haven't been to a wedding or reception since I was very young, so I don't know what kind of music is normally played at the reception. What do you play during dinner? After dinner? I'm guessing stuff you can dance to for after dinner, right? But can you give me examples of normal songs for this? My problem is that I'm not really in to music much, but I do like modern rock bands like Fallout Boy, Linkin Park, Green Day, etc., but I don't think you can really dance to their songs, or that people even want to hear that at a wedding. My fiance likes older rock, like Rolling Stones and The Who; can you dance to their songs? My fiance and I don't really even know how to dance, come to think of it.

I really need help here! Thanks!
I should add that we're probably not going to have a DJ - just use my MOH's laptop and some speakers. It's a pretty small room, only around 75-80 people.

Well you should play what you, your fiancee and both of your families like and listen too. You don't want people sitting there bored and not having a good time. We plan to play R & B, Hip Hop(no cursing), Oldies, Jazz, Gospel, Country, and most of today's music. This is the music that both of us and our families listen too. Play what you like.

I would play softer music WHILE dinner is served, you do not want indigestion to take place with guests. AFTER dinner, you can play the dancing music you really want. One way to look at it is to ask who your guest list is. Find out what era they are, that should dictate what kind of music you would play. Strike a balance but be sure to put in your favorite music - after all, it is your wedding. Congratulations!
