How to Choose Your Final Song
When the wheel lands on a song, don't just look at the title—listen to the lyrics together. A great first dance song should reflect your unique journey as a couple. Some couples prefer a slow, traditional waltz, while others want something more upbeat and 'choreography-friendly'. Use the Wedding Song Picker as a starting point. If the wheel lands on a song you both love, you've found your winner! If it lands on something that doesn't quite fit, use 'Hide Winner' and spin again. The goal is to find a melody that makes you both feel comfortable and present in the moment. Remember, the 'First Dance' isn't a performance for the guests; it's a celebration for the two of you.
