How Did You Pick Your Wedding Song?

Nothing compares to that moment at your wedding when the lights dim and you and your sweetie take the floor to dance together as husband and wife for the first time. But finding the perfect song to express your love and launch your new life together can be a daunting task. Do you go with the song was playing on your first date for sentimental value, or do you pick the tune that best summarizes your mutual feelings? Do you pick a soul-stirring ballad that will have everybody reaching for their hankies, or do you pick a booty-shaker that’s sure to get the party started? Tell us: how did you pick your wedding song?

My husband and I are both musicians, but strangely enough, we did not have "a song" while we were dating. While we were planning our wedding music, we chose pieces for their uniqueness and artistry, not necessarily for personal meaning. When it came down to choosing our first dance song, we were stumped. One day Corey came home very excited. "I found it!" he said. He then played "The Luckiest" by Ben Folds for me. He said he was listening to it in the car and it described exactly how he felt about me. He told me it made him so emotional that he cried a little. Now, Corey is not at ALL the emotional type, so when he told me that, I started to cry too. I couldn't say no, and "The Luckiest" was our wedding song.
