Choosing a first dance song seems like it should be one of the easiest wedding-planning decisions. But once couples realize how many great options are out there, the pressure can start to mount. After all, whichever song you pick will be the one that you define as "yours" for the rest of your lives together. 

But don't worry! With the help of real brides, we've compiled a few guidelines to ensure that your tune is worth replaying in 50 years. 

1. Find A Common Musical Interest

Sometimes, opposites really do attract, so it's possible that you and your fiancé don't share the same taste in music. Narrow down the selection by focusing on one genre you both do like.

Jenna Guarneri began her search for the perfect wedding song by identifying a shared interest with her then-fiancé — country music. After listening to various country albums, she heard a Lady Antebellum duet ("When You Got a Good Thing") on the radio that encompassed everything she had been searching for. 

"I played it for my husband afterward, and he had never heard of it either," says Guarneri. "He loved it just as much as I did and said that it was definitely 'the one!'"

Saturday morning, Rene and I had an early morning session with our trainer, Bonne Marcus. Before we began the workout, we got on the scale, and I’m proud to say I am down another five pounds, and Rene is down four! I guess after the bad week we had of the party, last week’s intense training and diet really helped! The workout was really hard this week. I should have known that after not doing any strength training for three weeks, it was going to be tough. She had us doing a lot of old moves combined with some new ones.

There was one new one called the “Prisoner Get-ups,” and they killed me! You put your hands behind your ears with your arms to the side, go down on one knee, bring the other knee down, come up with one knee, and then stand with the other. I had to do 20 starting on each leg. It’s an amazing exercise because it’s working your arms, your core, and your legs, but it was not easy!

Here at BG, the Labor Day Weekend wedding news we're most excited about is that our web producer, Stefania, tied the knot on Sunday! Get a sneak peek at her gorgeous wedding on our Instagram. 

She's in good company with her holiday weekend wedding. Actress Kate Bosworth and director Michael Polish exchanged vows on Saturday, August 31 on a ranch in Montana. The bride wore two custom dresses by Oscar de la Renta — a traditional strapless ballgown for the ceremony, and a floral embroidered tulle dress for the reception. The groom and groomsmen wore custom Brooks Brothers tuxes.

Also on Saturday: Grace Kelly's grandson, Andrea Casiraghi (second in line to the throne in Monaco), married heiress Tatiana Santo Domingo. Domingo bucked royal tradition and wore a boho-inspired Missoni gown with flowers in her hair instead of a crown. The 400+ guest list included Prince Albert, Karl Lagerfeld, and members of the Missoni family.

SNL funnyman Seth Meyers married his longtime girlfriend, Alexi Ashe on Sunday, September 1 on Martha's Vineyard in Massachusetts. The bride wore a cap sleeve lace gown, and Meyers wore a classic dark suit. Famous faces in the crowd included Olivia Munn, Allison Williams, Ali Larter, Rashida Jones, Lorne Michaels, Amy Poehler, Fred Armisen, Andy Samberg, Taran Killam, Jason Sudeikis, Kristen Wiig, Will Forte, Kenen Thompson, and more. 

I’m getting married this weekend — it feels so strange to type that out! — and now that all of the final arrangements have been confirmed, it’s been a nonstop party. I took a happy hour cruise with my relatives from Italy who flew in for my wedding and I was treated to massages, brunch and cupcakes with my favorite ladies for my "spa-chelorette" party. Up next: My rehearsal dinner and final fitting with my MOHs.

I could get used to this...in fact, I got so carried away with the revelry that I forgot to do a few things. I neglected to include my fiancé, Jason, and myself in the final headcount (our maître d' couldn’t stop laughing) and finalize our transportation itinerary. Oops. 

Since I’m suffering from a bad case of "wedding brain," I asked Valerie Gernhauser from Sapphire Events to share the most common tasks/items that brides either forget entirely or handle at the last minute before getting hitched. Follow her advice below, and try not to be too hard on yourself; after all, the most important thing is that you both successfully complete your vows. Everything else is just icing on top of the cake, as far as I'm concerned.
