Your wedding day is going to be full of magical moments. So make those moments extra special with the soundtrack of a lifetime! You should select songs that capture a feeling, tunes that a special meaning, etc. And the ones we listed below are sure to conjure up the feelings of love and happiness you share for one another.
5. “I Cross My Heart”- George Strait
The Knot-Tier: “From here on after, let's stay the way we are right now / And share all the love and laughter that a lifetime will allow.”
Strait plucked at the heartstrings of country gals everywhere with this tearjerker that anchored his movie Pure Country back in 1992. Since then, fans have danced that special first dance to this sweetly sentimental and longtime favorite tune.
4. “Keeper of the Stars” – Tracy Byrd
The Knot-Tier: “It was no accident me finding you / Someone had a hand in it, long before we ever knew.”
This power ballad became an instant classic with its release by Byrd in 1999. Luckily, in love there is often a bigger plan in play than what we know. Byrd's real-life wife and baby daughter were on set with him for added inspiration as he filmed the music video.
3. “I Love the Way You Love Me” – John Michael Montgomery
The Knot-Tier: “I could list a million things I love to like about you / But they all come down to one reason: I could never live without you.”
This song is Montgomery's country variation on Elizabeth Barrett Browning's “How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.” It evokes images of lovers dancing in the rain, stolen kisses and playful moments, reminding us that when we're in love, even the scent of our betrothed can leave us weak in the knees.
2. “Forever and Ever, Amen” – Randy Travis
The Knot-Tier: “As sure as I live, this love that I give / Is gonna be yours until the day that I die.”
A quintessential love-for-the-ages tune, this Travis classic evokes the kind of deep, abiding love our grandparents vowed through hard work, struggle, lean times and happiness. The title itself inspires us to have hope that real love between two people can indeed exist — and thrive — through the years.
We love this list from The Boot! They did a great job of including some classics that often get overlooked with all the new popular songs that have recently come out.
Below is our #1 Favorite Wedding Song!
1. “When You Say Nothing at All – Alison Krauss & Union Station
Her voice alone pulls are your heart strings. And the lyrics to this song are so beautiful: “It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark”
We wish you the very best on your special day and we hope the songs listed above stuck a chord with you (pun totally intended) and you can check music off your list of things to do. You can't go wrong with any of these beautiful songs. Just be sure you have something special lined up for your walk down, your announcement as husband and wife, your first dance, the father daughter dance and the mother son dance. And the rest of the music should be a good balance between slow songs and kick up your heels fun! Good luck!
