Should You Use Classic Love Songs or New Ones for Your Wedding?

Many couples have trouble deciding what era the songs should come from. Should you play the classics, or should you be playing something more modern? In truth, you'll need a blend of both old and new songs at your wedding. While the older generations will feel nostalgic listening to the classics, younger generations will enjoy listening to modern dance numbers. Make sure to compile a playlist of songs that includes the best of both worlds.
