Are you having trouble choosing the music for your wedding and reception? Drawing a blank? Don't want to repeat the same music you heard at your friends wedding...

Then check out our new feature, Wedding Grooves! Wedding Grooves is a listing of the various categories of songs standard to most weddings; like First Dance, Father & Daughter Dance, Mother & Son Dance, Bridal Party Dance and more to come! Click on a song title and you'll be taken to a page where you can view the music video for that song, learn what genre it's in and purchase either the album through Amazon.com or the Song through iTunes!

If you are creating CD favors for your guests, this will be a great place to start, too.

I got the idea when I found my sister searching for her father daughter dance song on YouTube.

Check back often we will be updating the listings on a regular basis.

Don't forget there is also the Music For Photo Montages at BridalFilms.net where you can find the popular music to use with those baby and courtship pictures!

Special Thanks to McDonald Studio for the use of the picture.

My sister and I went back and forth about video, when she was planning her wedding. I wanted her to have one, she refused on the basis that pictures would do everything. They wrote their own vows and now even though it was only a year ago, I don't know what she said, because at the time she was too nervous and forgot the words. So instead she said something from the heart, totally unrehearsed and not written down. When you ask her or her husband what she said they don't remember or will give you a version that changes every time they repeat it. The actual words are lost to history.

Why am I pounding my head against the wall about his? Well I found another couple on YouTube while looking for some fun clips that pretty much sum up how my sister feels right now, enjoy.

I love poking around on YouTube, I can waste hours on the site looking at all the memories caught on video. Today I was poking around in the weddings section when this little clip appeared.

The Wedding of George Fulford and Helen Goettsch on Sept. 7, 1935 in Minneapolis.

This family is so lucky! I'd love to have a video clip of either set of my grandparent's wedding! To see my grandfather in his prime strutting around. My grandmother, beautiful and full of life.

Wouldn't you love to see moving pictures of your granparent's at their wedding with friends and family? It's sad really, today when moving pictures and audio are available to every bride and groom through video only a small percentage are having one made. From my sister's wedding her video is her most treasured possession followed by the photos and the hanky dad wiped away her tears with before walking down the aisle. (The tuxedo shop charged dad $20 for that hanky! So dads if you think you may need on make sure you have one besides the pocket hanky that comes with the tuxedo rental!) I know we all want to make money but $20 for a cheap $2.00 hanky! Yesh!

But I digress.

Ladies, if you are thinking about having no video produced, watch that video again and ask youself, "If I could, would I want to watch my grandparent's video?" If you say yes, then it's time to call one of our professionals!
