Choosing the music for your first dance is always a bit daunting for some, but yet obvious choices for others. Most of us go for songs that are meaningful to us or represent pivitol points in our relationships. Either way it is a special and symbolic moment during the wedding reception. One word of advice i would give to anyone choosing any music for their wedding, whether it be for the first dance or background music at the ceremony is to listen to the music all the way through and pay attention to the lyrics. I recall when choosing music for my reception that some of my choices once i had listened carefully actually had either double meanings, the odd swear word, or innapropriate words hidden in them. Not wanting to upset Aunty Flo i thought it best to go for some simple and maybe obvious choices.
