A wedding is an emotional day, tears are never far away. They are a mixture of pure joy, nostalgia, sentiment, pressure and relief and this can mean the guests are on the edge of crying most of the day! With all this emotion running high, it only takes something small to open the flood gates; that something small could be a song!

In this post we will share with you 9 songs that trigger tears at any wedding one extra tip to get the happy tears flowing!

1. Bryan Adams – Everything I do (I do it for you)

A classic that has been making wedding guests cry since 1991. Adams powerful vocals have ensured that this song a belter that everyone wants to sing to as well as bawl to it. The perfect recipe for a wedding song!

2. Jo Cocker – You Are So Beautiful

This makes for a beautiful first dance song, and as everyone looks on in wonder at the happy couple singing this to each other, it will be a miracle if there is a dry eye in the house by the end.

3. Robbie Williams – I Love My Life

This is a more modern song (2017) and one that is particularly tear jerking for anyone with kids. This song was written by Robbie for his children and is a beautiful, positive tune that paints a picture of Robbie’s love and dreams for his family. This is especially perfect for a wedding where the couple themselves already have children.

4. Righteous Brothers – Unchained Melody

Just the opening couple of bars of this classic song will be enough to give many of your guests a lump in the throat. This song has no doubt been played at nearly every wedding since its release and so it will evoke strong memories with subsequent tears for your older guests.

5. Aerosmith – I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing

This powerful song’s lyrics are all about seizing the moment and treasuring love. At a wedding this sense of this emotion is already running high so with this song reinforcing it, the tears are sure to flow.

6. Train – Marry You

This is a song that seems as if it was physically written for the wedding industry.  The words are so perfect for the occasion and pulls on the heart strings of those in the room who can feel the love!

7. John Legend – All of Me

All of Me was written by John Legend for his wife on their wedding day. The first time it was sung in public was after he had said I do! With this history there is such pure authenticity in his words which are emotional and heart felt. It is hard to listen to this song and not cry in the supermarket, never mind at a wedding!

8. Luther Vandross – Dance with my Father

Weddings are about more than just the happy couple. They are about family, friends and love. Sometimes a wedding can be tinged with sadness if an important member of the family has died. This stirs up a lot of emotion and a song like Dance with my Father can provide the perfect moment to reflect and remember those who have passed.

9. Leona Lewis – Run

You could go with the Snow Patrol version that is equally powerful but unfortunately less well-known. This song is chilling and sends shivers down your spine as you listen to the emotion in the lyrics. Definitely a tear jerker!

Your song

There will probably be a song that has significant importance to the happy couple, even if no one else understands it. If you do have one it is recommended that you discuss it with your DJ prior to the big day to ensure it gets played. A song that has meaning to the happy couple is bound to evoke happy tears!

If you plan on playing any of these songs make sure you have warned your guests use waterproof mascara!
