More reasons the subjunctive might be used: WEDDING.
Will (verbs of volition such as preferir (ie, i)/to prefer)
Emotion (verbs of emotion such as sentir (ie, i)/to regret or alegrarse de/to be happy about)
Desire (verbs such as querer (ie)/to want)
Doubt (verbs such as dudar/to doubt)
Impersonal expressions (es posible/it is possible)

Generalized expressions (Ojalá/hopefully, en caso de que/in the event that )

One way to ask someone to do something, or to express a desire that another person do something, is to use querer + que + subjunctive
