Each one of these tracks brings something special to the big day, from tear jerking ballads to dance floor anthems. Like I said, there are tons of popular wedding songs. I've listened to so many love songs in the past couple of weeks and I'm not a lovely dovey person, so that was really hard for me. Okay, let's keep the wedding playlist rolling. But first, here's my interesting fact of the week. Welcome to my interesting fact. Did you know that two of the most famous wedding marches, Mendelssohn's wedding march and Wagner's bridal chorus aka here comes the bride, both have roots in operas and plays. Yep, these iconic tunes were originally part of some pretty dramatic theatrical performances before they became wedding staples. Who knew your walk down the aisle had such dramatic flair? Lets start with Mendelssohns wedding march. This lively piece was composed in 1842 for Shakespeares play a midsummer nights dream. The play is filled with magic, mischief, and a donkey headed guy named Bottle. So the next time you hear that triumphant dun dun dun dun, just imagine fairies and enchanted forest all around you. Its like your wedding just got a sprinkle of shakespearean magic. Now onto Wagner's bridal chorus. Or as we all know it, here comes the bride. This tune hails from the 1850 opera Lohegrin, where it sung after the wedding ceremony of Elsa and Lohegren. The funny part in the opera, the marriage is a total train wreck. But hey, let's not focus on that. The melody is so grand and romantic that it became an instant wedding hit. I guess if your wedding march comes from an opera with a disastrous marriage, the only way your own marriage can go is up, right? So the next time you hear these classic wedding tunes, remember their dramatic origins and laugh a little. Your wedding walk is not just a stroll, it's a theatrical debut with a side of royal approval. Just don't expect any fairies or donkey headed guests unless you invited them, of course. And now back to our episode. Welcome back everybody. Alright my fabulous listeners, buckle up because we're about to dive into a world of romance, love and all things wedding. We just wrapped up talking about the most popular wedding songs and now it's time for something a bit more personal. Full disclosure, I don't really consider myself a lovey dovey person. In fact, I've never had the desire to get married and I don't plan to. Sorry mom and dad. But hey, at one time I did think it would be fun to be a wedding planner. So I've definitely thought about what songs would be good for weddings before. Just not my wedding. For this episode, I went all out and listened to a ton of wedding songs. After a marathon of melodies and a whirlwind of wedding vibes, ive picked my favorites based on what I think would make great songs to walk down the aisle to or to be sung during the ceremony. If, you know, I ever did want to get hitched, which I dont see that in my future, but theres nothing wrong with that. So even though I might not be the first in line to get married, ive got a selection of songs that I think will make your special day even more magical. Let's start with one of my absolute favorites. I'm yours by Jason Mraz. This song is pure magic and let me tell you why. First off, it's incredibly catchy. From the moment that ukulele starts strumming, you can't help but smile and tap your feet. I have a soft spot for ukuleles. My niece plays the ukulele. I love the sound of a ukulele. So any song that has a ukulele in it automatically. I love right away in those lyrics. They're straight out of a wedding daydream. Well you done done me and you bet I felt it I tried to be chill, but you're so hot that I melted. I mean, come on, if that doesn't make you think of wedding bells, I don't know what will. Every time I listen to this song while prepping for this episode, it made me envision a beautiful wedding scene, bright smiles, happy tears, and a whole lot of love. There's something about the laid back, joyful vibe of I'm yours that makes it perfect for a wedding. It's like Jason Mraz bottled up pure love and happiness and poured it into the song. It's got that easy going, feel good energy that's ideal for walking down the aisle, a fun cocktail hour, or even as a first dance if you're aiming for something lighthearted and sweet. Plus, the message of the song is all about letting go and giving yourself fully to love. So I won't hesitate no more, no more it cannot wait. I'm yours. That's exactly what a wedding is all about, right? Committing to that special someone with your whole heart. If you're looking for a song that's as uplifting and joyful as it is romantic, I'm yours is the perfect pick. Trust me, it's bound to make your wedding day even more unforgettable. Now this is the song I listened to the most when I was doing my research because I loved it so much. Next up on my list of favorite wedding songs is I choose you by the incredibly talented Sara Bareilles. And you know I love Sara Bareilles. I've mentioned her before several times. This song is a beautiful, heartfelt ode to love and commitment, making it an ideal choice for a wedding. What I love most about it is how the lyrics sound like they could be your wedding vows. Seriously, if youre stuck on what to say during the ceremony, just play this song. From the very first lines, you can feel the deep sense of devotion and unwavering commitment. Its like Sarah took all the emotions of a wedding day and wrapped them into a gorgeous melody. The chorus tell the world that we finally got it all right, I choose you is basically a declaration of love and the promise to stand by each other through thick and thin. Every time I hear this song, I imagine a couple standing at the altar looking into each other's eyes and promising to be each other's forever.
