Whatever you go with, we are sure you'll find the perfect one. Until then here are some tips as you navigate your way along the sound waves.

1. Make sure you and your partner figure out what kind of genre/style you want.
- This may seem like a no brainer, but selecting that style which speaks to both of you will be an important first step in finding that perfect song.
2. Listen to the lyrics
- Does the song tell your story as a couple? Does it capture the quality of what you both share together?
3. Tempo
- You are going to be dancing, make sure you find the right beat you can dance to. Again, this will also depend on what style/genre you want to go with -- will it be a slow dance? Will it start slow and transition to something more uptempo?
4. Have fun
- All in all, enjoy the process of picking your first song. Don't be afraid to explore uncharted territory and express yourselves as a couple.
5. Trust your gut
- You and your spouse will come upon the right song and there will be no doubt. When that connection is made, it will also be translated onto the dance floor. Trust it.
