Heard of the song, "Un Beso Es Todo?"

Friends want to find the song, "Un Beso Es Todo" for their wedding. Know where I can find a recording/sheet music/mention of this song?

Friends of my girlfriend are getting married this summer. My GF has been tasked with finding, arranging and performing a certain song, "Un Beso Es Todo," for the ceremony. While vacationing in Mexico, the happy couple heard the song performed by a Mariachi band, and loved it, unfortunately neither they nor we can find the song in any form now. Know where there is a recording? Maybe some sheet music? Anything related to this song? I suppose, as they only heard it performed, it may have a different title, and "un beso es todo" could simply be the song's chorus.

Never heard of it, and I grew up in Mexico and I'm a musician, so I'm pretty familiar with the repertoire of Mariachis - much to my grief.

I don't suppose they remember anything else from the lyrics, do they?

I'll ask around, see if it rings any bells with some friends.

Long shot: sometimes Mariachis take songs from the charts in the season and adapt them. This song was recently famous (in the past year or so), its name is "Solo por un beso" (which means "Just For a Kiss", while the title you gave means "A Kiss Is All") and it could be the one your girlfriend's friends are after.

Remember that this is the original version (in Bachata, a different genre) and the version they heard was played by a Mariachi, so it is bound to sound different (if its the same at all).
