When I Said I Do, by Clint Black (Featuring Lisa Hartman Black)

If you’re looking for lyrics that speak for both of you simultaneously, this is the perfect wedding song. Clint Black and Lisa Hartman (who are, in fact, husband and wife) sing the song. Mostly sung by Clint, with Lisa featured, it’s ideal if you’d rather have a song with both a male and female voice. The song includes the promise ‘When I said I do; I meant that I will, til’ the end of all time, be faithful and true, devoted to you.’ This song works if you’ve been through a lot together before marriage or are renewing your vows.

Clint Black wrote this song, and he sings it, featuring his wife, Lisa Hartman Black. It was the first single released from his 1999 album D’lectrified. This song reached number 1 on the Billboard Hot Country Singles chart! Being a perfect wedding song, it crossed over and reached number 31 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100.

She’s Everything, by Brad Paisley

If you’re looking for a song to dedicate just to her, this one says it all. Its kind, loving lyrics say exactly what any woman would want to know: how her man feels about her.

Anyone watching you dance with your new wife to this song will know how much you love her! It will probably bring tears to a few people’s eyes, too!

Brad Paisley co-wrote the song with Will Nance, and it was released in 2006 on his album Time Well Wasted. It was also Brad’s 7th number one single. It was certified Platinum along with Brad’s hit songs ‘Then’ and ‘Whiskey Lullaby.’

It’s Your Love, by Faith Hill & Tim McGraw

Although Tim McGraw sings most of this song, Faith Hill sings in the background, so you can also choose it as a wedding song that speaks for both of you. The lyrics talk about how love has carried them through…it’s a beautiful thing, don’t think I can keep it all in, I just gotta let you know what it is that won’t let me go, it’s your love… In the song, he says that he’s a better man being with her, with Faith’s beautiful voice singing in the background, echoing and confirming her feelings in return.

Written by Stephany Smith, the song was released in May 1997 on Tim Mcgraw’s album ‘Everywhere.’ The song reached number one and stayed at the top of the charts for six weeks. Faith Hill was expecting their first child, ‘Gracie,’ at the time – you can see how beautiful she looks in their video.

Then, Brad Paisley

This song is a favorite for weddings or anniversaries. The song talks about how the love for their significant other has grown since ‘back then.’ Sung by Brad, it has a male perspective; however, the lyrics can easily be spoken by a woman to a man. This is it if you’re looking for an emotional, heart-wrenching song about love!

Love of My Life, by Sammy Kershaw

Keith Stegall and Dan Hill wrote this incredible song. It was the lead single on his album Labor of Love in October 1997. You can also hear it performed as a duet with Canadian Country Music Artist Terri Clark. It’s no surprise this song reached number 2 in the USA and #3 in Canada. If you’d rather have a male and female voice singing a song for your dance, then the duet version is the way to go – You can listen to both versions below.

The Words from ‘You Had Me from Hello’ – The Perfect Love at First Sight Song

I’m not sure how I missed this song over the years, but it completely sailed by without my noticing until I started searching for the perfect country music wedding songs. The lyrics and music made me listen to this song at least ten times.
