    Yes, we have known since before we got engaged. It will be Yours - Wedding Edition by Russell Dickerson. ❤️ My FH would always sing it to me when it first came out. It's special.

    Yes! We chose that pretty early. He likes 1950s era music, so we chose "Only You" by The Platters. Its so classic and unique.

    There likely won’t be any dancing at our reception (😭) so no first dance for us.

    That's a lovely song, Kasey! Are you both fans of Pearl Jam or did you just fall in love with this song?

    What kind of music do you both like? What genre? Does either of you have a favorite ban or artist?

    Do you want something slow or something more upbeat?

    It's 'If I tremble' by Front Porch Step! Not the typical song, we know, but it's also the song that was playing when my FH proposed!!

    Mine is "Im gonna make you my wife" by The Whispers and then "Stand by Me" by Prince Royce. We are doing half of both songs to incorporate both backgrounds of slow traditional dance and slow romantic latin.

    Yes! A cover of "Love Me Tender" by Nagi and Ya Ou

    We wanted something sweet, but not one of the overplayed first dance songs.

    Yep - it is When You Say You Love Me by Josh Groban! I was tempted to change it to More Of You by Josh Groban but then I realized that When You Say You Love Me describes our love for each other much much more.

    I’m more into pop and country, he’s kind of into some rap and some pop type artist. We both like Ed Sheeran. I’m not sure if I want slow or upbeat. I’m open to suggestions on both. I’m even open to other types of artist.

    How long should the first dance song be? I don't want to make my guests bored to death...
