15+ Romantic Wedding Song Lyrics to Use in Your Wedding

If you and your sweetheart are big music fans, you may also want to incorporate these sweet phrases into your nuptials. Look to your love for song ideas that have lyrics similar to your love story or the feeling you had when you met the one you wanted to be with more than anyone else in the world. While a particularly touching line from romantic song lyrics may end up inspiring your choice of a first-dance song (such as "Just the Way You Are" by Bruno Mars) or even a father-daughter dance song (such as "Because You Loved Me" by Celine Dion), quotes and lyrics from your favorite song about love can also be included on wedding signage, cocktail napkins, ceremony programs, and even in your vows!

Whether or not the one you choose is the most romantic song in the world doesn't matter; what matters is selecting song lyrics that are special to both of you and your relationship with one another. While there are certainly romantic song lyrics that can be loved by many couples, you may have a song in mind that's unique to you – perhaps your beloved is a musician and wrote a special song in love, maybe you're close friends with a band who hasn't made it big that has written some of your favorite romantic song lyrics. Like any choice for your wedding day, make sure the decision is made by the two of you for the two of you – after all, it is your wedding day.

By including a line from the romantic song lyrics of a beloved tune on your big day, you increase the opportunities of being whisked back to that special day throughout your lives: whenever you hear one of the romantic song lyrics quoted over the years, you will find yourself smiling as you reflect on the celebration of your love, no matter where you are in the world. While there isn't just one, universal romantic song for every couple, you'll have to search for the song lyrics that are special to you both. The amount of romantic song lyrics may be endless, but we have gathered a few of our favorites to help get you started.

Take a look at 15+ romantic song lyrics to use in your wedding, below:

This tune – “Wichita Lineman“ by Glen Campbell – would be lovely for a wedding ceremony or cocktail hour tune!

Incredibly romantic, "Let's Stay Together" by Al Green is a wonderful choice for a wedding with a bit of sultry soul incorporated.

"(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" - Bryan Adams

This artist has a number of amorous tunes, but "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by Bryan Adams is perfect for celebrating your marriage.

• "There's no love like your love and no other could give more love. There's nowhere unless you're there." 
  

"Then" - Brad Paisley

If you're looking for country wedding songs to include, "Then" by Brad Paisley is an excellent choice – especially if you're getting married near a river or ocean!

• "Like a river meets the sea, stronger than it's ever been. We've come so far since that day, and I thought I loved you then."
