The first dance is a moment of true beauty as the bride and groom take the dance floor and share their first dance together as man and wife. This is often a song that will stay with them forever – be played on their wedding video montage, get turned up to the highest volume in the car when it comes on, and the song that whenever they hear it the bride and groom turn to each other and share a smile as if they have a secret only the two of them know. So choosing the right song is important. Very important. It needs to represent the both of you individually, together, and the love and life you share together. For some couples they have had one song that has meant something to them for years so their choice is simple. For others they try and search for that perfect tune to sum up everything about them.
