    Any idea what genre you want?  Fast/slow?  Fun/serious?  There are SO many choices out there.  I changed my song at least 5 times.  Keep a journal in the car, jot down songs titles as you hear them - that'a how I found mine.  I stopped "thinking" about it.

    I agree with PP. Right now, I'm between 2 songs, but with 7 and a half months to go, I'll probably have another idea or 2. These are the ones I'm between right now:

    These three were in the running too:

    In My Dreams Your Dreams Come True- Josh Turner

    Waiting All My Life- Rascal Flatts

    Only Hope- Switchfoot

    This was one of the very last things we decided on. We are both huge music people and it was a tough choice.

    We narrowed it down to "Wonderwall" by Ryan Adams (a slow, gorgeous version of the big hit by Oasis and "Lay it Down Slow" by Spiritualized.

    We chose the Spiritualized song because it seemed to fit the need better, but still played our other choice in the slow song set so we could still dance to it as well.

    You can try my top choices..

    Then - Brad Paisley
    She's Everything - Brad Paisley
    Make You Feel My Love - Adele (I think that's the one we're going with)

    but you can always go to a classic (though I think overplayed)
    At Last - Etta James. Or I think Byonce does a cover of that one if you want to switch it up a bit.

    Or maybe something by Ray LaMontagne. He's pretty awesome as well.

  • It is overwhelming isn't it? If you're like us and want a song that will be THE song you will love for the rest of your life, a song that everyone at your wedding willl remember for the rest of their life then listen to Last Love by Whitney Steele. Last Love is the most beautiful song ever! Not that it's important, but II met my gorgeous groom to be Marques online and he IS most definately the last love of my life!

    And if you like the Gin Blossoms (we love the Gin Blossoms) see Whitney, who is so filled with heart and soul AND not to mention an incredible singer songwriter, Last Love video and tell me you can't see yourself walking down the aisle to that song! See Whitney's unofficial video of Last Love with Scotty Johnson of the Gin Blossoms here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y16J1eCkySY

    Marques found this Whitney Steele song for us and I love it...  If you need a wedding song, walk down the aisle song or first dance song, I'll share my wedding song with you!. We bought it on CD Baby and know every word by heart!

    Congrats!!!
