when a newly married couple hits the
dance floor it’s up to the music to tell
their special story and it had better do
a good job welcome to watchmojo.com and
today we’re counting down our picks for
the top ten modern wedding songs for
this list we’ve decided to stick to
songs that were released in or after the
year 2000 and that are not covers of
older tracks
number 10 James Blunt you’re beautiful
of Adam Shaw this sweet simple slow song
has been a reception standard since its
2005 release in fact Blunt even played
it at his friend Elton John’s wedding
every bride wants to feel beautiful on
her big day however the songs tale of
unrequited love is less appropriate
sometimes you’re better off ignoring
lyrics when choosing a first dance song
and maybe don’t watch the video where
the guy commits suicide 9 Nickelback
never gonna be alone
the mind doesn’t jump to Nickelback when
considering first dance tunes but these
Canadians have released some respectable
power ballads that’d suit any rockers
wedding this song could easily be about
love between family or friends but it’s
just as powerful when interpreted as
romantic love with this message about
partnership for the long haul it’s a
great wedding option even with Chad
Kroger’s gruff vocals number 8 Justin
Timberlake mirrors
Justin’s been releasing wedding ready
music forever but now that he’s a
newlywed himself his Tunes have newfound
maturity and emotion
as he tells the story of a man who’s
found his other half timberlake flats
his trademark falsetto while Timbaland
shows off his signature sound the tempo
may be fast for some but the message and
melody are so great we’re guessing most
couples won’t mind number seven Alicia
Keys fallen this Grammy winning wedding
staple introduced Alicia Keys to the
world set to fluid harmony and soulful
piano this song chronicles the ups and
downs of relationships in true R&B style
with keys stunning voice holding it all
together
while it’s a great reception song
newlyweds might find this a good choice
later in the evening after the guests
have gone home if you know what we mean
if I ever get the nerve to say hello in
this cafe say number six train marry me
wedding season wouldn’t be the same
without New Romantic Diddy’s competing
for our attention but some newer tracks
cut through the clutter and this is one
of them
couples will fall into each other on the
dance floor swaying to this low-key
ballad whether it’s the original or the
duet version is it a little schmaltzy
sure but that’s the mark of a great
first dance tune number five christina
perri
a thousand years
if it’s good enough for Bella and Edward
it’s good enough for us
Twihards everywhere know this tune as
that couples anthem but others choose it
as their wedding song simply because
it’s beautiful
the universal message about the fear of
falling for someone touches everyone and
Christina Perry’s voice and quiet melody
provide the perfect background music for
a romantic dance whether or not your
vampire
number four Norah Jones come away with
me
come away doesn’t get more romantic than
this as she flaunts her standard jazz
sultriness Norah Jones provides
newlyweds with the perfect piano-driven
slow dance soundtrack her haunting voice
plus the songs intimate feel and gentle
rhythm are the ideal combo for cheek to
cheek waltz and the recipe for a little
mid-song smooch simple peaceful and
beautiful Jones music is always wedding
appropriate come with
never say yes
number three michael buble everything
your phone stuff your the getaway car
this crooner is a natural fit on a
wedding DJs playlist and this is one of
his most romantic originals without the
backing of his usual Big Bend Buble
compares his love to well everything and
calls her his stability in a crazy world
sure the song is about his ex but that
doesn’t make it any less wedding perfect
plus everyone can sing along at the
lalala part
number two Bruno Mars marry you
with his heartfelt lyrics and sweet
sweet vocals Bruno Mars is the new king
of wedding songs with several
possibilities for this list we’ve opted
for the obvious marry you because it’s
up-tempo beat mimics the excitement of
new love it’s message is cute and
contemporary and it’s got wedding bells
to perfect
it’s not a slow jam but if you got your
dancing shoes it’s an adorable choice
number one lifehouse you and me
this clock never seemed so you know it’s
a popular wedding song when the band
releases an extended version for extra
long first dances this love song was
inescapable in 2005 whether at weddings
or on TV
with its slow stripped-down melody and
meaningful message about love and
togetherness this is one song that
doubles as a second set of vows which is
what all couples want on their big day
a Cherokee
