Finding the perfect song for your wedding’s first dance takes some research. Not only should it magnify the magic of the moment by its sheer beauty, it should also reflect how you feel about each other. If you have no such song in your mind, you can always take inspiration from celebrities. Here are seven beautiful songs that some of today’s top celebrities danced to on their wedding days.
- George Clooney and Amal Alamuddin: This Hollywood power couple danced to the tune of “Why shouldn’t I?” by Cole Porter when they tied the knot in 2014. One look at the lyrics makes it obvious why they chose it. It has the perfect lyrics for Clooney’s lifelong search for the perfect life partner. After all, when you find the love of your life, why shouldn’t you?
- Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel: When the singer-turned-film-actor married the beautiful model-turned-actress Jessica Biel after a whirlwind romance, they chose the song “A Song for You” by Donny Hathaway for their first dance. With lyrics that say, “I love you in a place where there is no space or time,” it’s not hard to understand why.
