This is such a feel-good love song that it should be played at every wedding ceremony. It has an upbeat, sweet melody that will inspire you to dance and really celebrate.
I Will Always Love You – Whitney Houston
There are few singers more talented than Whitney Houston was in her prime. This song is chillingly beautiful and although the lyrics suggest a woman leaving her true love, it’s still one of the most favorite wedding songs of all time.
Faithfully – Journey
This is a sweet song all about devotion, which makes it perfect for your wedding day. This is a great song for the first dance or other special moments like cutting the cake.
