Making decisions about the songs for your big day can be a difficult task. When contemplating about what songs you might want to dance to on your wedding day, you should consider those songs that resonate with the mood of each section of the wedding and reception. These sections range from ceremony music to the couple’s first dance to mother-son dance etc. Choosing the perfect song stirs emotion and brings memories that may not have been thought of in quite some time.
