Wedding season is officially underway.
Whether you're a bride, groom or just inspired by feel-good wedding songs, you've come to the right place to discover which tunes top the list for nuptials of all kinds.
Given that most weddings include a fair amount of music, you may be curating a playlist of songs to cover all the big moments including the ceremony, reception, cake-cutting and first dance.

Among them are romantic songs like Etta James' “At Last,” “Can't Help Falling in Love” by Elvis Presley, as well as contemporary hits like Christina Perri's “A Thousand Years” and Train's “Marry Me.”
There are plenty of others, too, including tunes that'll get everyone out on the dance floor, like “I Gotta Feeling” by the Black Eyed Peas and “Signed, Sealed, Delivered I'm Yours” by Stevie Wonder.
