With the pandemic easing on a bit, people are finally getting ready to have those big fat weddings that we have come to love over the years, this time, however, with the necessary precautions, of course. Some are busy finding safe spots and arranging good food and drinks while others are busy with the background work. Among the hustle and bustle, if there's one thing people are missing out on, it's the song for the soon-to-be newlyweds!
One of the best moments at a wedding, the first dance, should have a special theme to it, right? But with so many weddings around the corner and the trend of copying each others’ ideas, it's really difficult to find a unique tune that tugs at your heartstrings and that can hold a special place in your hearts for years to come.

But guess what? We have a couple of unique song suggestions that are sure to blow your mind. Once you listen to these lyrical masterpieces, we are quite confident that you’ll be sold within moments! So what do you say, shall we get started?
#1 - Consider Me by Allen Stone
Struggling to write his own wedding vows, Stone came up with this song for all those couples who are facing a similar challenge. In the track’s video, he encourages couples to remember all the beautiful moments they shared together and about the things that made them think they belonged with each other in the first place.
#2 - Holy by Justin Bieber
Written and performed by Bieber, “Holy” is a beautifully created romantic song. It talks about different kinds of love between different relationships, whether we’re talking about couples, caretakers or their patients, parents and their kids, or simply an act of kindness to a random stranger. This song is not only touching but also hits all of the pop culture benchmarks, with Chance (the rapper) bringing his A-game as well.

#3 - To Die For by Sam Smith
To experience love wherein you’re prepared to give it everything, be it your money, your lifestyle, or everything you own is quite a magical experience indeed. In this song, Smith talks about a similar kind of love where there are no boundaries; just two people falling for each other again and again—until eternity.
#4 - Wild by John Legend
It's hard not to expect something unique from the king of romantic hits, and thankfully, he never fails to impress us. Truly unreal and very raw, Wild is one of John Legend's greatest creations to date. Warning: Playing this song at your wedding might end up with you and your partner holding each other all day long.

#5 - In Case You Don't Live Forever by Ben Platt
Originally released in 2019, Platt's “In Case you Don't Live Forever” gained traction in 2020 when Jimmy from Netflix's “Love On The Spectrum” sang it during his proposal to Sharnae. The song reminds us of the time we spent with our partners, the countless memories we made, and the ones we couldn't make.
So, which one of those masterpieces do you think would be the best for your wedding day?
