It’s no secret…I have a weakness for emotive songs. Those so touchingly poignant that from the very first note, the tune takes my breath away, blossoming into an experience that completely touches the heart (and pit of the stomach).
I’m infatuated with the way certain music has the ability to transport us to a person, place or moment in time, pulling on the heartstrings in the most powerful way. It is tunes such as this that, I believe, should be considered as part of the soundtrack to your wedding day, in particular, as you glide down the aisle towards your soulmate.
