I am feeling the pain of picking the songs for our wedding video...

It is soooo hard. I keep searching for the perfect songs. I have to pick 9 songs...this is so tough. I have seen threads for the past year about songs for video now I am realizing how hard it is.

Sooooo all 05 brides...can you tell me what songs you picked? Thank!

This was so hard for us. It took us almost a year to give them baby pics and songs for our video..we got it back close to our 1 year anniversary!

Something to keep in mind as you pick songs -- your videographer is probably going to use each song from its beginning, so if you'd rather just use the chorus, or second verse, or whatever, be very specific with your instructions.
