20 Wedding Songs Couples Secretly Hate

Apparently "Love Shack" isn't as popular as you might have thought. FiveThirtyEight got real with a few wedding bands and DJs and asked them which songs couples most often ban from their wedding playlists. And while we kinda understand why some of these tunes get the strike-through from soonlyweds (they're overplayed, cheesy or the wrong vibe for their party, maybe), we were thrown for a loop to see a few classic wedding reception staples make the naughty list. Listen, there's no reason you should feel pressure to nix DJ Casper's "Cha-Cha Slide," especially if it's your jam—but we thought you might want to know what other couples are banning.
