LA CROSSE, Wis., June 16 (UPI) -- A La Crosse, Wis., couple planned to have their wedding reception overseen by a very unusual disc jockey -- the Sirius Satellite Radio company.

Following a request from Maggie Lee and John McHugh, officials at Sirius agreed to play the couple's play list on its "Standard Time" Channel 5, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel reports.

The couple informed friends and relatives who could not attend the ceremony to tune into the broadcast, which was to be available to the more than 4 million Sirius Radio customers in North America.

With classics from artists such as Louis Armstrong and Ella Fitzgerald, the wedding reception's soundtrack was scheduled to play from 6:30 p.m. to 9 p.m. (EDT) Friday, the newspaper reported.

Topics: Ella Fitzgerald, John McHugh, Louis Armstrong
