Thoughts on Selecting the Best Song for You
While these are some of the most popular selections, it’s usually best for you to choose a song that fits your personalities as a couple, and passes on the message you want to display through your photos and your music. What may have worked for someone else may not work for you.
And that’s OK!
Musical choices are very personal and affect each of us differently. It’s really not about the most popular; it’s about the most fitting for you as individuals. One helpful suggestion is to listen to some of your top choices while looking at the photos. Most often, you’ll know the right song as soon as you hear it!
