“Setembro” means “September” in Portuguese, Brazil’s official language.

The song exudes exquisite romance and is a hidden gem among wedding songs.

Rihanna – You Da One

This is a song by the hugely popular singer-songwriter Rihanna.

It was a hit released in 2011.

The song features her distinctive vocals, which are striking and really stick in your ears.

It’s easy to listen to and I think it’s a recommended wedding song.

Rihanna has so many great songs—she’s one of my favorite singers.

Oh, Pretty WomanRoy Kelton Orbison

Pretty Woman – Oh, Pretty Woman (Roy Orbison) ᴴᴰ

Since it was also featured in the movie Pretty Woman, it’s a very famous song—Roy Orbison’s single released in 1964.

At weddings, the bride is more or less the main character, so this song, which praises women, is perfect.

Every time I hear that intro, I get excited.

It’s one of those timeless classics that never loses its shine.

A LOVER’S CONCERTOSarah Vaughan

sarah vaughan – A Lover’s concerto

It’s a cover by Sarah Vaughan of a song originally sung by the vocal group The Toys.

In Japan, this version is probably the most famous.

The voice of this exceptional jazz singer is elegant, while also creating a joyful atmosphere.

How about it for a slightly more mature wedding? The lyrics, in which two people vow their love, are absolutely perfect! It would work well not only for the entrance, but also during the welcome segment or the cake-cutting.

For the entrance, the lyrics after the 50-second mark seem ideal.
