48 Wedding Songs for Actual Day

Songs are so important that they bring up the high and lows of your wedding banquet. This includes your montage, video of your morning gatecrash, walk-ins and even the cold dish presentation. Ever squirm when you hear the Final Countdown during the 1st dish presentation?

Don't get me wrong, this was my favorite song back in secondary. But at a wedding?  As a wedding guests have you wondered why a particular song has been played 10 times before the 2nd march-in?

I did.

In order not to face such embarrassment, I came up with a list of 48 songs to play while my guests are enjoying their lunch. Why 48 you ask? Well, the theme of my wedding was 48 Months Later which my AD is the same day which my wife and I got together 4 years ago. And my songs managed to get some guests' attention who came and ask me about a few songs which was played.

 As my wife was clueless about songs, I had to come up with the list myself. But remember to check with you spouse on their favorite love songs too.

1st March-In
The Feather Song - Forrest Gump
Great dreamy song...time it after 0.46 for a more impact walk-in

1st Course Presentation
Baba Yetu - Civilization 4
After my wife check out the translated lyrics, she agreed to a video game song

2nd March-In
A Moment Like This
Pretty popular wedding song but the lyrics do get the point of our relationship
