A few weeks ago I received an email from TasteTv asking the DWH staff to be judges for the upcoming International Chocolate Salon. Our job? To taste a ginormous box of chocolates made by various confectioners and rate them on categories such as Best Dark Chocolate, Best Truffle, Best for the Wedding Reception and Best Bridal Gift Set. It sounded too good to be true. Hence, I was a little hesitant to tell the rest of the staff. (Or maybe I was a little hesitant to share …)

Since today marks the one-year anniversary of his passing, I dug a little deeper into MJ’s catalog to find a few songs you might have overlooked for different moments of your all-important playlist.

Like many people, I am in a state of shock because of Michael Jackson’s death yesterday. I’m an avid music lover (I actually DJ at weddings and clubs in my spare time) and he is one of my all-time favorite artists.

In honor of the loss of such a musical inspiration, here are my top 10 Michael Jackson party songs, perfect for a wedding playlist.
