Your wedding is at the corner, and if not, you are hopeful that someday you will walk down the aisle with the love of your life. What you probably don’t know is that some songs, whether they are your favorite or better half’s hit songs, can’t be played on your wedding. Many of the songs are about stalking, breakups, desperation, obsession, and carry some negative messages. You need to come up with a list of songs to be played, BUT don’t mention any of these listed songs.
- Make You Feel My Love, Adele

This song is about breakup and desperation after the breakup!
- Blurred Lines, Robin Thicke

The song is about flirting with girls. The event DJ shouldn’t play it. Get this one in your blacklist for the wedding day.
- I will Always Love You, Whitney Houston

These are just bittersweet memories of the ex.
- Break Up at the End, Cole Swindell

Imagine you are barely married for a day and this song says you will break up!
- Fake Love, Drake

Picture yourself stunting like Drizzy and singing you got people showing fake love.
- Singles You Up, Jordan Davis

The groom shouldn’t feel sad for the girls even for a minute.
- My Heart Will Go On, Celine Dion

The song is about lost love. Something like your partner sinking with a ship!
- Gold Digger, Kanye West

Even if you love Kanye, keep his voice off your wedding. He is a negative influence!
- The Scientist, Coldplay

“It’s a shame for us to part…” I can’t even mention the next line, press skip!
- Every Breath You Take, The Police

You wouldn’t want stalkers on your wedding. Don’t play a song that calls them.
- I Want to Know What Love Is, Foreigner

Are you sure you don’t know what it is? Play songs that show that you do. Next!
- Love Will Tear Us Apart, Joy Division

The division is from the word “divide.” The song is good when you divorce and divide your family.
- Lips of an Angel, Hinder

Unless you want to cheat with the bridesmaids or the best man, love the lips in front of you.
- Jesse’s Girl, Rick Springfield

This one is a game changer. Fueling rumors about the bride having something with the best man? Really!
- You Give Love A Bad Name, Bon Jovi

Self-explanatory. Nothing to be added!
- Dude Looks Like a Lady, Aerosmith
Photo by Mauge, CC BY-ND 2.0
This song should be unrecorded and erased from people’s minds.
- White Wedding, Billy Idol

Billy himself said that the song was all about his hate for the sister’s fiancé.
- Shout Out To My Ex, Little Mix
Photo by vagueonthehow, CC BY 2.0
This was one of 2016 best bass songs, and you wouldn’t want to shout to your ex on your wedding day.
- Break Up With Him, Old Dominion
Bad advice with a fantastic beat. Don’t board. “Stick With Him.”
- Treat You Better, Shawn Mendes

It’s like you had been treating each other bad before getting married. Shawn was losing his girlfriend!
- Bootylicious, Destiny Child

This one is exceptional! Don’t play it at your wedding but later on with your bridesmaids.
- If You Wanna Be Happy, Jimmy Soul
Jimmy Souls is telling the groom that he should have married an ugly woman. Maybe your groom followed the advice. I didn’t say you are ugly!
- Youngblood, Far East Movement

The desperation to have the lover back is the storyline. You have your lover.
- IDGAF, Dua Lipa

The song that “Youngblood” probably responds to. Please don’t break up on your wedding day.
- It Wasn’t Me, Shaggy
It was who? It’s funny how people lie even after being caught.
- Hello, Adele

When you are getting married, don’t reach out to your ex apologizing.
- I Will Survive, Gloria Gaynor
Photo by TJStamp, CC BY 2.0
This is a song about love went sour.
- Love of My Life, Queen

As much as you love Freddy Mercury, this song is heartbreaking.
- Without Me, Halsey
Photo by Justin Higuchi, CC BY 2.0
Another desperate song. Living without you!
- Used to Love Her, Guns N’ Roses

Don’t try to press play on this!

Play danceable and exciting music at your wedding, that is a happy occasion, and you need to celebrate it with your guests the right way.
