There's always an appropriate song for any special occassion. The following songs can be heard at anytime but I feel these songs fit best in the following sequence. These songs will definitely make your special day and anyday after memorable. In addition, I have included some information about each artist.

PRE-ENGAGEMENT SONG:

Dreaming of You by Selena

Selena was an American Tejano pop singer. She was given the title, "top Latin artist of the 90's" and "Best selling Latin artist of the decade" by Billboard magazine. Some of her most unforgettable hits include Amor Prohibido(1994), No Me Queda Mas(1994), I Could Fall in Love(1995), and Dreaming of You(1995). She was tragically shot by the president of her fan club in 1995 at only 23 years of age. The biographical film "Selena" was made in 1997 and casted Jennifer Lopez as the lead. Selena's angelic voice and legacy continues to live on. The world definitely lost a great star too soon.

Why does Dreaming of You make your heart skip a beat?

The song is about a girl who is dreaming about someone she likes. Each night she thinks of him and hopes he is thinking of her also. She wonders if he ever notices her or cares to know how she feels. She wants to hold him close but she just can't build up the courage to say "I love you." She continues to have dreams about him. One day, he finally approaches her. He confesses he loves her and she expresses the same. She is no longer dreaming by herself but now has someone to dream with for the rest of her life. The sweetest lyrics are "Now I'm dreaming of you, tonight. Till tomorrow. And for all of my life. And there's nowhere in the world I would rather be. Than here in my room. Dreaming with you endlessly."

Celine's voice is resonating and powerful. Her voice stays with you even after the song is finished. The song is about a guy who makes his girl feel like she's on top of the world. He loves her more than life itself. He gives her faith, encouragement and support. He believes in her and changes her life in an extraordinary way. He's always there for her and proves to be her guiding light whenever she falls down. The most inspirational lyrics are, "You were my strength when I was weak. You were my voice when I couldn't speak. You were my eyes when I couldn't see. You saw the best there was in me. Lifted me up when I couldn't reach. You gave me faith because you believed. I'm everything I am because you loved me."

After All These Years by Journey

When you are married for a long time, you may take each other for granted. Those carefree and "so in love" days may seem over. Life may seem dull and boring instead of fresh and exciting. But when you look back on everything you have been through with your partner, you learn to realize and appreciate how much he or she has done for you. All the good and bad times. All the joys and sorrows. All the compromises, adjustments, and sacrifices. The most reassuring lyrics are "After all these years. You stood by me. The days and nights that I was gone. After all these years. You sacrificed, believed in me. And you stood strong. Cause with our love there's nothing left to fear. After all these years."

I hope you have enjoyed reading this review. Please feel free to share any wedding songs you have in mind.
