So it's probably pretty clear by this point that we're very romantic and dramatic (and maybe even a little bit cheesy) around here at Wish Wonder Dream. Thus, this afternoon we decided to come up with a list of our all-time favorite gorgeous film scores (or "film score type songs") to play as you and your wedding party come down (and then back up) the aisle on your wedding day.
