When you look back on your wedding day, one moment you will never forget is your first dance together as a married couple. However, picking the right song can sometimes be tricky.
It needs to be personal to you and your relationship.

Whether the couple pick a traditional song that we’ve heard many times before, or something a little bit surprising, it always seems to go perfectly with their personalities, and top off their perfect day.
