Wedding Songs

Below is a list of some of the most popular songs played at weddings. None of these are novelty songs like "Hokey Pokey" or "The Bride Cuts the Cake". These are songs that the bride and groom chose for the first dance or perhaps the father/bride or mother/groom dance.

Hey, it's getting late in the game...and I'm getting old...er.

1. I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweetheart
I belong with you, you belong with me
You're my sweet

2. A hundred and five is the number that comes to my head
When I think of all the years I wanna be with you
Wake up every morning with you in my bed
That's precisely what I plan to do

3. It might seem crazy what I am 'bout to say
Sunshine, she's here, you can take a break
I'm a hot air balloon that could go to space
With the air, like I don't care, baby by the way

4. I, I'm I'm so in love with you
Whatever you want to do
Is all right with me
'Cause you make me feel so brand new
And I want to spend my life with you

5. And in this crazy life, and through these crazy times
It's you, it's you, you make me sing
You're every line, you're every word

6. Like a fool, I went and stayed too long
Now, I'm wondering if your love's still strong
Ooh baby, here I am

Signed, Sealed, Delivered, Stevie Wonder

7. Hey, where did we go?
Days when the rains came
Down in the hollow
Playin' a new game
Laughin' and a-runnin', hey, hey

Brown Eyed Girl, Van Morrison.

8. I've got so much honey
The bees envy me
I've got a sweeter song
Than the birds in the trees
Well, I guess you'd say
What can make me feel this way

My Girl, Temptations

9. And when you smile
The whole world stops and stares for a while
'Cause girl, you're amazing

10. Like a river flows
Surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes
Some things are meant to be

I can't help falling in love with you, Elvis

11. 'Cause we were just kids when we fell in love
Not knowing what it was
I will not give you up this time
But darling, just kiss me slow
Your heart is all I own
And in your eyes, you're holding mine

12. Bitter-sweet memories
That's all I'm taking with me
Good-bye, please don't cry
'Cause we both know that I'm not
What you need

I Will Always Love You, Dolly Parton
