Walking up the aisle is an experience that nearly every woman has dreamt about all her life. After all, everyone wants that fairy-tale happily ever after!
But making that dream become a reality, is an entirely different story and takes a lot of planning.
One of the tough decisions that must be made during this planning time, is what song you will choose to walk down the aisle to.
