We all know the songs. The ones played at every single wedding. The ones that are meant to be cute but are just so overused it makes you cringe. Did your "favorite" make the list?
1. "Wanted" by Hunter Hayes
You know what I wanted as a wedding guest? Another song.
2. "A Thousand Years" by Christina Perri
This song just makes me think of the Twilight series wedding scene. So if you want to be compared to Edward Cullen and Bella Swan in guests' brains, this is a good option.
3. "Thinking Out Loud" by Ed Sheeran
Want to have the most basic wedding of the year? Use this one. Everyone has been using it for every wedding... since 2014.
4. "Marry You" by Bruno Mars
Unless you are getting married on a whim, in which case you wouldn't really have a wedding song, please just don't. Your guests beg of you.
5. "Hero" by Enrique Iglesias
While this song is a great guilty pleasure song, it isn't the best choice for a wedding. The whispery lyrics are pretty cringeworthy.
6. "Marry Me" by Train
This song is basically just Pat Monahan soulfully singing "marry me" over and over, which to wedding guests is the equivalent of "shoot me."
7. "I Do" by Colbie Caillat
You can't even really slow dance to it? It's a very weird tempo. Also, it just reminds me of the Letters to Juliet soundtrack, and I'm not sure it's a good thing.
8. "I'm Yours" by Jason Mraz
Some people hate, hate, hate this song at weddings. Me included.
9. "Make You Feel My Love" by Adele
I love Adele, but anything Adele is usually overplayed. Enough said.
10. "More Than Words" by Extreme
This throwback from the 1990s is still used in weddings. Why? I don't know. 90s hair metal should not be a part of your wedding, especially the couple's dance.
11. "On Top of the World" by Imagine Dragons
Again, just like "I Do" how do you really dance to this? Slow dancing looks awkward. Also, the audience is most likely going to start singing along and starting a weird karaoke thing during your dance.
12. "Endless Love" by Mariah Carey and Luther Vandross
This is the true classic, although it should probably never be used again. Not only is Mariah Carey kind of cringey-worthy but the lyrics are strange. If you are going to use this one, do the original.
For anyone who used one of these, the only question I can ask is, what were you thinking?
