50 Wedding Songs

 Your Wedding - the perfect day - the perfect environment - the perfect moment to share your love with someone as you both unite to share the rest of your lives together.
Music is a universal language which sometimes even speaks louder and clearer than your own words or thoughts can express. It is towards this that I thought of putting together a playlist of Love Songs For Weddings which speaks through you the joy and happiness you share as you get married. It expresses your love in just the appropriate tone and content without going over the rainbow.
Needless to say, I had to scour over a massive range of songs and actually listen to each one, to see if the words really fit the mood or was it just another love song. 'Love Songs' are of different kinds. Some express appreciation, some express a 'high', some express heartbreak, some express beauty. But only few express the love you feel very specifically related to two people uniting together in a bond of love and commitment. This playlist attempts to find just those songs.
I do hope you would agree with me on this selection as also take a little time to listen to them as well. My heart will smile if there is anyone out there who would actually use this playlist for your Wedding!
Cheers to Love! Cheers to the Happy Couple!
