Your wedding songs might have you tearing up, laughing with joy, or dropping it like it's hot. Or, all of the above! The most important things is they should evoke some kind of emotion from you and your betrothed.
We recently asked Sunshine Coast brides-to-be and past brides to share their walking down the aisle song choices with us, for inspiration if you're still undecided. The one thing we learnt when going through the responses is that Sunshine Coast couples have rather varying musical tastes! So here's a little something for everybody:
