June is such a great month for
weddings. Think summer brides with handsome grooms, and beautiful outdoor
ceremonies and receptions. I especially love the tradition of the first dance the happy couple shares together as husband and wife.
During a recent author interview,
I was asked to provide my “Top Ten Wedding Songs” and I had a blast coming up
with my list. I visited wedding planning websites and hunted online, finding
audio samples of tunes along the way. Finally, I settled on my favorites. While
I didn’t have dancing at my wedding (hubby and I eloped!), if I was asked to
select a romantic song for a very special dance today, I would definitely pick
one of these.
Do you see any of your favorites? If you have another choice that’s not here, please feel free to add
it below. In celebration of summer love, I’ll award a free e-book copy of A
Summer Grooms Selection (Books 1 – 3) to one person who comments by Sunday at midnight.
