Wedding Song Etiquette: Read this before selecting your wedding music.
When it comes to planning a wedding, certain elements deserve extra attention, especially if the bride and groom plan to leave a favorable impression with their guests. One of those elements is the wedding song -- it sets the tone for the evening and symbolizes a couple's love for each other. But if history has taught us anything, it's that we're likely to choose a melody that is anything but appropriate.
When selecting a song keep in mind the following, will it move both the happy couple and your guests on the special day. The key is to find songs that have intrinsic value for the bride and groom and possess relevant lyrics as well. --Artical from AskMen.com
Go for Original and Meaningful
Select songs which present the subject of marriage and love in a creative manner. Forget what is commonly done in most weddings and try and go with something that touches the both of you and keeps your feet moving at the same time
Even though your sole criterion when picking out a song is that it should be special to the two of you, keep in mind that the more original and relevant a song is, the more spectacular your night, and memories, will be.
