First Dance

The couple's entirely improvised first dance was to John Coltrane's instrumental version of "Say It (Over and Over Again)," a favorite jazz ballad of the couple. All the music throughout the ceremony and reception was carefully selected by the bride and groom, to whom music is close to heart.
