After the guests were seated, Their parents and wedding party were introduced into the ballroom using Coldplay’s “Life In Technicolor” as their entrance song. Upon entering the ballroom, Meghan and Edward went directly into their first dance and chose “Two is Better than One” from, Boys Like Girls. Following Meghan and Ed’s first dance, their bridal party joined them and danced to “It’s Your Love” by Faith Hill and Tim McGraw.
