Top 10 Wedding Songs of All-Time
Aug 5th, 2010With the right array of music, a wedding can be transformed into a truly magical occasion. That’s why brides, grooms and wedding planners carefully select the tunes, basing their decisions on a number of factors, including their personal tastes, the settings of their weddings, the meanings of the songs and when they would be played. Although coming to a consensus on a list isn’t always easy, there are a handful of songs that many wedding attendees will agree are most fitting. Here are the top 10 wedding songs of all-time.
- “At Last” – Etta James
“At Last” was originally sung by Ray Eberle and Pat Friday – who were members of Glenn Miller’s orchestra- for the musical film Orchestra Wives, and covered by Nat King Cole before Etta James took it to new heights. Its lyrics are perfectly suited for weddings: At last / My love has come along / My lonely days are over / And life is like a song. - “The Way You Look Tonight” – Frank Sinatra
Legendary Broadway performer Fred Astaire was the first to sing “The Way You Look Tonight,” and since, it has been covered by a who’s who of talented singers – most notably Frank Sinatra. It has appeared in numerous hit movies, including “Father of the Bride” and “My Best Friend’s Wedding.” The song captures the groom’s adoration for his bride. - What a Wonderful World – Louis Armstrong
There isn’t a more blessed occasion than your wedding. Louie Armstrong describes the feelings of most brides and grooms on their big day in “What a Wonderful World.” More than just a popular wedding song, it has persisted as one of the top feelgood songs of all-time. - “Can’t Help Falling in Love” – Elvis Presley
In “Can’t Help Falling in Love,” Presley mentions that he has fallen for a special gal and their togetherness is inevitable. The song was adapted for his 1961 film “Blue Hawaii,” in which his character, Chad Gates, returns home to Hawaii after a couple of years in the army and eventually marries his girlfriend. - “I Turn to You” – Christina Aguilera
Christina Aguilera’s version of “I Turn to You,” which was written by legendary songwriter Diane Warren, resonates with family, friends and lovers, making it a versatile tune for weddings. But perhaps its most appropriate usage is during the father/daughter dance – the intension of the song is to thank a parent. - “Unforgettable” – Nat King Cole
“Unforgettable” was originally going to be titled “Uncomparable” by writer Irving Gordon, but the studio preferred the more memorable title. Through the years, the song has been covered by numerous talented artists, including Marvin Gaye, Aretha Franklin and Sammy Davis Jr. - “You’re Still the One” – Shania Twain
Twain and her husband Robert “Mutt” Lange wrote “You’re Still the One” when they became an item in the mid-’90s, as they were enduring criticism about the validity of their marriage due to the age difference and Lange’s stature in the music industry. Unfortunately, they eventually separated, but the message of the song remains fitting for the big day. - “Everything I Do (I Do It For You)” – Bryan Adams
Ranked 16th on Billboard’s All-Time Top 100 Chart, “Everything I Do” by Bryan Adams is regarded as one of the best soft rock ballads of the generation. The song was written for “Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves,” but experienced success as a part of Adams’ “Waking up the Neighbours” album. - “Wonderful Tonight” – Eric Clapton
Clapton wrote “Wonderful Tonight” about his eventual wife, Pattie Boyd, as she was dressing to attend a Buddy Holly tribute hosted by Paul McCartney in 1976. The day after their wedding, Clapton sang the song to her on stage in Tucson, Arizona. - “Faithfully” – Journey
“Faithfully” was the song of choice for the wedding dance of Charlie Sheen and Denise Richards, but don’t take that as a bad omen. Most brides and grooms are faithfully committed to each other at the times of their weddings. The song was penned by Journey keyboard player Jonathan Cain, who dedicated it to his wife.
