When it comes to your reception, half the battle is picking out a perfect playlist that will appease everyone in the room — from your teenage cousin who's definitely cooler than you ever were, to your adorable, but traditional parents. An easy hack? Round up a selection of music that includes the number one love song from each year of the last few decades (bonus: narrowing music down this way is also a great hack for picking out a first dance song if you and your significant other can't decide). From "At Last" to "All of Me," see which wedding-perfect songs climbed the charts ahead!
