Top 5 Wedding Ceremony Lyric Ideas

Do you know a fantastic way to express your true feelings about marrying the love of your life during the wedding ceremony? Many people would say the best way to do this is through music. You can’t help but agree. While it would be hard to muster up all the words that describe how you’re feeling, the right song can help do just that so you can say everything that you want to say. Here are some excellent song selections that you may want to consider for your big day.

Unforgettable

The song’s title is the best adjective for it. Who can forget this great classic from Nat King Cole? It’s dubbed as one of the most romantic songs in the history of music recording. This can be played in your wedding with a piano or string quartet. It can also be done in a duet like what Nat King Cole’s daughter Natalie Cole did during the 90s with his father’s previous recordings. This specific stanza in the song won’t leave a dry eye in the room.

Unforgettable in every way,

And forever more, that’s how you’ll stay

That’s why, darling, it’s incredible

That someone so unforgettable

Thinks that I am, Unforgettable too

From This Moment On

Shania Twain’s catapult to stardom is this wonderful country song. Even if you’re not into country melodies, give this song a chance. Listen to it even just once and you won’t help but feel your heart melt. The lyrics of the song make it perfect as a wedding ceremony song.

I give my hand to you with all my heart

Can’t wait to live my life with you, can’t wait to start

You and I will never be apart

My dreams came true because of you

From this moment as long as I live

I will love you, I promise you this

There is nothing I wouldn’t give

From this moment on

First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

The first time this song was heard by the public was in 1969 when it was sung by Roberta Flack in her album “First Take.” It was written in 1957 by Ewan MacColl for Peggy Seeger who later on became his wife. It was also popularized by other renowned music artists including Celine Dion and Leona Lewis. The lyrics would bring you back to the first time you laid your eyes upon your spouse-to-be and it would remind you of that incredible feeling of meeting the love of your life for the very first time.

The first time ever I saw your face

I thought the sun rose in your eyes

And the moon and stars were the gifts you gave

To the night and the empty skies, my love

To the night and the empty skies

You Raise Me Up

Josh Groban’s You Raise Me Up is a religious song that’s also fit for a wedding ceremony. If you’re getting married in a conservative church, you’re more likely to get approval for this song than other contemporary options. It’s best to have this song performed with an organ. If that’s not possible, a string ensemble would do just fine. You’ll love this part of the song where it says:

You raise me up, so I can stand on mountains

You raise me up, to walk on stormy seas

I am strong, when I am on your shoulders

You raise me up to more than I can be

The Prayer

This is one of the most touching songs that you’ll ever hear in your lifetime. Also sung by Josh Groban in a duet with Charlotte Church, The Prayer can be interpreted as a call for God to guide you and your beau on your way to married life. Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion also has a version of this amazing song.

I pray you’ll be our eyes

And watch us where we go

And help us to be wise

In times when we don’t know

Let this be our prayer

As we go our way

Lead us to a place

Guide us with your Grace

To a place where we’ll be safe

La luce che tu dai
