This means the song needs to be just as memorable. As stressful as that sounds, it doesn\u2019t have to be. Here are two simple things to keep in mind while choosing your music:\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Choose a song that means something to you:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A wedding is a social affair but, more than anything, it is for you and your spouse. Choose a song that holds some special meaning between you. Perhaps it is a song you heard while on your first date together, a song you frequently dance to or a song that reminds you of each other. Whatever the reason, it should be important to you.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-medium wp-image-22109235\" src=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mg_7295-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mg_7295-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mg_7295-1000x667.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mg_7295-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mg_7295-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mg_7295-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mg_7295-335x223.jpg 335w, https:\/\/usustatesman.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/04\/mg_7295-1050x700.jpg 1050w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 600px) 100vw, 600px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.
