The music of your wedding is hugely important to setting the tone of the day. Many planning couples spend a lot of time choosing the perfect songs to compliment the special moments of the wedding, searching for songs with sentimental meanings and just the right sound. Which important song did you decide on first?

I've had my processional song picked out from the moment i heard it. It will be an acoustic version of "La Vie En Rose"... Important to me because of the movie "Sabrina" with Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn.

The first dance song is something my fiance and i will pick out together. We have a March Madness style bracket set up in our den for making wedding decisions so that will be how we make our decision

For us it was the processional song! He proposed after we saw Phantom of the Opera so we knew “All I Ask of You” would be our processional song!

Processional came first. My fiance and I still can't agree on a first dance song, but we still have a bit of time yet.

My processional song was picked long ago, and that is the only piece of music I have chosen so far. It is a tough job!

First Dance song. This one was chosen before we even got engaged. We are doing Ed Sheeran Thinking out Loud, but if I could find a version that is a mix of Perfect & Thinking Out Loud that would AMAZING!

Not having a first dance but know what I’ll be walking down the aisle to and know what will play as we exit the ceremony.

Processional song is traditional church wedding song; our first dance song was decided long before we were even engaged, as it's "our song". You had me from hello, Kenny Chesney

First dance - Our song is 'Baby I Love Your Way' by Peter Frampton and we can't imagine dancing to anything else
The processional came shortly after, with a nice cover of Edit Piaf's 'La Vie en Rose'.

We still aren't sure of either, but we got an idea for the processional song earlier. The first dance song is still a very big question mark (we've actually considered just not having any dance, so you can see how unimportant it is to us).

We’ve always kind of known our first dance song, so that one was first! I also have the processional song chosen, but that’s a surprise to the groom

First dance song. We had a feeling we would pick a specific song for our first dance, before getting engaged. It ended up being our dance!

We’ve known our first dance song since the beginning of our relationship. So that came first. I’m still figuring out our processional music.
