How to Choose a Wedding Song

by Jody Morse
2Wedding planning can be stressful for many couples. From the invitations to the wedding cake, everything needs to be planned in advance. One factor that some couples may give little thought to is their first dance song. Since music has the power to bring out the emotions in people, it is important to consider what wedding song will be the most appropriate choice. Here are some of the factors any couple interested in choosing a wedding song should consider.
    Decide on a genre of music. This will have a huge effect on the mood and environment of the entire wedding. The mood of the guests will be different if you choose a rock song for your first dance than if you were to choose a country or rap song. It is important to choose the genre that will be the most suitable for your wedding.Create a list of songs that you may want to consider. It does not matter if the list has five songs or 50 songs. The key is to take at least more than one song into consideration. It is a good idea for the bride and groom to come up with a list and then compare it with each others. If there is a song that you both chose, it may be the best choice.Choose the song that reminds you of one another. If you have not already decided on one in the past, choose one now. It really does not matter what the song is, but it should have a special meaning for both of you. Be sure to choose a wedding song that you both agree on. Don’t choose a song that only one of you thinks is a good representation of your relationship, but that the other hates.Avoid choosing a popular wedding song. Unless there is a well-known wedding song that you absolutely love, it is best to avoid choosing one. If you choose a popular wedding song, there is a chance that your wedding guests have already been to a wedding where it was played. A less common song will help ensure that your wedding is unique and memorable.Pick a wedding song that you will remember for years to come. When your grandchildren want to know what your wedding song was, you will want to be able to remember it. This is why it is so important to choose a song that has a lot of meaning for you. In years to come, you will be less likely to forget what your first dance song was.
Don’t limit yourself to choosing a new song. Oldies make great wedding song choices, too. 

Try to avoid choosing a song that discusses cheating, as this will give guests the wrong impression.

If you have a theme, consider choosing a wedding song that matches it.Avoid choosing a song with profane lyrics.
