Music Video Update!!!!

I was recently listening to music and came across a song that i really liked. The song is 'I do' by Colbie Caillat. I have decided that i am going to change my music choice to this song as i find it will be more interesting than the song i had picked before also because i really enjoy listening to the song so i think i will enjoy putting it together and will get a better outcome at the end.
