The kings of love songs, Chicago, are absolutely indispensable for wedding songs.

“Will you still love me for the rest of my life?” If a woman is asked, “Will you love me for the rest of my life?” the answer will surely be “Of course.”

For those who are considering a wedding and fall a bit into the late-marriage category, this ballad is highly recommended.

It’s a slightly older song, so many of your guests will likely know it.

The chorus line, “I can’t help falling in love with you,” sounds even more passionate in Elvis’s low, sexy voice, doesn’t it?

A gem-like rock ballad that tells a sweeping love story of an angel with eternal life who chooses love for a human woman and gives up immortality.

Woven by the Goo Goo Dolls, its melody—both heartrending and powerful—continues to resonate deeply with listeners.

Released in April 1998, the song was written for the soundtrack of the film City of Angels and was also included on the album Dizzy Up the Girl.

It spent 18 consecutive weeks at No.

1 on the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay chart, and its universal message of love and self-sacrifice captured hearts around the world.

In the moment of celebrating the bride and groom’s new beginning, the pure power of this song’s love will gently embrace the entire venue.

This song has a vaguely Elvis Presley-like melody, with Freddie Mercury expressing love in a rich, sexy lower register.

The way the lyrics treat love as a single, unified entity is delightfully ironic.

This song used in the 1994 film “When a Man Loves a Woman” was sung by Michael Bolton as a cover, but I recommend his version because it doesn’t feel as dated.

I love the key change partway through.

The lyrics are about how a man will sacrifice anything for love.

LoveNat King Cole

Since this song falls into the jazz category, it’s recommended for those who want a slightly stylish, more mature vibe for their wedding.

It includes the line, “Love is all that I can give to you,” which is quite a passionate phrase.

You’ll Be In My HeartPhil Collins

Phil Collins – You’ll Be In My Heart

This is a song used in the Disney movie Tarzan.

Like all songs used by Disney, it has a heartwarming feel to it, which is nice.

The last part of the chorus—saying something like, “Your heart will always, forever be in mine”—is a phrase that’s perfect for a wedding.
