For a day about celebrating love and the beginning of a life with your partner, the perfect song ties it all together. Music connects memories and adds flavor to all aspects of life. Choosing the right track, however, can be a source of much debate between soon-to-be-wed couples. There is an extensive range of genres to choose and all you need to do is to be true to yourself.
