Whether the song should be played when the bride dances with her groom, or when her father proudly takes her to the dance floor, the compiled list of wedding songs should provide a bevy of options to consider using on that special day.
A wedding is a magical moment for both the bride and groom; it marks the beginning of a new life, as one. The days gone by before the wedding are put behind the couple, with only the future laid out in front of them, with all sorts of things in store. Whether good or bad, life has its way of teaching us lessons that we learn more of, in a marriage. The following wedding songs can be used to put together and played one after another during the reception, or for a particularly monumental moment, like the bride’s first dance with her groom or father.
