Once again, DJ Jon Blak of Scratch Weddings is here to share some wedding music picks with us—and this time, he’s talking about the processional!

From DJ Jon Blak of Scratch Weddings:

Vows have been made, rings exchanged, and you’ve had your first kiss as a married couple…you’ve officially started a new chapter in your lives! It’s a life-changing moment, marked by huge smiles, a few happy tears, and of course…some music! The big question is—what’s the first song you’ll hear together as newly joined lifelong partners? Because it’s time to walk back down the aisle!
