Wedding Songs Entrance Options



As much as I'd like my wedding gown to be perfect, my colour motiff suited for most of my bridesmaids and of course, a decent yet affordable venue for our wedding party, I'd also took a lot of time choosing on what song to be played on my wedding entrance. So here are the chosen songs I put in my youtube account playlist. My first pick is A Thousand Years by Christina Perri. Simply because I first heard this song with Eric when we watch the movie Twilight. I automatically fell in love with the melody and as if the song was written for me. :)

1st Option (CHURCH) : Archdiocesan Shrine of St. Anne

And now that I will be a soon to be bride, this is the first church I visited to know more about their registry.
