Recommended Western wedding songs for men: moving classics and popular tracks (1–10)
Can’t Stop Loving YouMichael Jackson
It’s a love song by Michael Jackson that everyone knows.
Don’t you think Michael’s gentle, soaring voice is perfect for weddings? The line “My life ain’t worth living if I can’t be with you” seems like one you could use, meaning: If I’m not with you, my life isn’t worth living.
All of MeJohn Legend
This song also features piano, and its melody is perfect for a romantic wedding.
The line that appears in the lyrics, “love all your perfect imperfections”—loving both the perfect parts and the imperfect ones—sounds like it speaks to true love, and it’s wonderful.
Beautiful ThingsBenson Boone
A gem of a ballad by American singer-songwriter Benson Boone, poignantly singing of feelings for a loved one.
Expressing both gratitude for irreplaceable happiness and the anxiety of losing it, the song was released by Warner Records in January 2024 and dominated charts around the world, including in Australia and Canada.
It has received high praise across the board, winning Best Alternative Video at the MTV Video Music Awards, among other accolades.
It’s a perfect track for sharing cherished moments with someone you love, or for expressing renewed thanks on an anniversary.
His first Japan concert is scheduled for January 2025 in Tokyo, and anticipation is growing in Japan.
Sugar, SugarThe Archies
This is also a slightly old song, but I chose it because the lyrics are very simple and the tune has a cheerful feel.
Did you know that in America people call their loved ones things like “sugar” or “honey”? It’s not a song about sugar and honey!
Marry YouBruno Mars
A love message song inspired by a spontaneous Las Vegas wedding that adds sparkle to any anniversary.
Crafted by American artist Bruno Mars, this lively number beautifully blends doo-wop rhythms reminiscent of 1960s pop with a modern pop sound.
Included on the 2010 album “Doo-Wops & Hooligans,” it received high acclaim on charts around the world.
The track has also enjoyed extensive media exposure, including its use on the TV show Glee and in a viral proposal video on YouTube.
It’s the perfect song for a proposal or as background music for an anniversary video—a gem of a love song that expresses deep affection for someone special with a bright and joyful touch.
