Between the venue, the flowers, the dress, the guest list, and the countless other decisions that need to be made when planning a wedding, one of the most enjoyable selections is the music. Will you kick off your reception by slow dancing to that tune you\u2019ve loved since you met your spouse in college? Will you walk down the aisle to a song whose lyrics somehow articulate the inarticulable aspects of love? The idea is especially important for musicians, who know more than anyone how a song can set the mood for a marriage. We asked a few Southern artists what songs they played at their own weddings. <\/p>\n\n\n

\u201cOur first dance was Stevie Wonder\u2019s \u2018Signed, Sealed, Delivered,\u2019\u201d Drew says. \u201cWe wanted the first dance to set the tone for a night of unashamed fun and a full dance floor. It worked. Someone gave us great advice: \u2018Stay on the dance floor and make people come out there and dance if they want to say hello or congratulations.\u2019 The dance floor was full until we drove off on my father-in-law\u2019s Vespa.\u201d <\/p>
