Marry Me by Train: The Perfect Bridal Wedding Dance Song
Looking for a romantic song for the Bride and Groom Dance?
Traditional romantic songs are great for the Bridal Dance, but maybe not for this particular bride and groom. How about a love song that's a little newer, a little more current?
"Marry Me" by Train, from the "Save Me, San Francisco" album, makes a great choice for the contemporary Bride and Groom's First Dance. The monster hit "Hey, Soul Sister" is also from this album, and wouldn't that make a great rocking-the-house dance for later in the wedding reception.

Listen to "Marry Me" by Train
Lyrics for Marry Me
Forever can never be long enough for me
Feel like I've had long enough with you
Forget the world now we won't let them see
But there's one thing left to do
Now that the weight has lifted
Love has surely shifted my way
Marry Me
Today and every day
Marry Me
If I ever get the nerve to say
Hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Together can never be close enough for me
Feel like I am close enough to you
You wear white and I'll wear out the words I love
And you're beautiful
Now that the wait is over
And love and has finally shown her my way
Marry me
Today and every day
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Promise me
You'll always be
Happy by my side
I promise to
Sing to you
When all the music dies
And marry me
Today and everyday
Marry me
If I ever get the nerve to say hello in this cafe
Say you will
Mm-hmm
Say you will
Marry me
Mm-hmm

What's better? Contemporary or Traditional Wedding music?
Here is what others have said in response to that question.
What do you think? Leave a comment at the very bottom of this article before you leave, wont you?
Contemporary. Give me Rock, Pop or Country.
purplelady: Since the wedding ceremony is usually the more traditional part of the wedding day I would choose traditional music. Since the wedding reception is more contemporary, I would choose a mix of rock, pop and/or country.
tssfacts: I would have a combination of both.
Cynthia Sylvestermouse: While I would stick with traditional music for the wedding ceremony, I would definitely use contemporary music at the reception and for the couple dance.
Traditional or Classic is the way to go.
anonymous: Don't really want to take sides here but to comment, I must. I say it totally depends on the bride and groom and what they want for their first dance together. It's a personal choice and many choose a song that means something special to them. As for the rest of the music at the wedding, that, too depends on the couple, what type of wedding they have planned, etc. For the reception, they want their guests to have a good time so I would think a good mix of music would be best including any ethnic music that fits the couple and their families.
Ann Hinds: I am a traditionalist is all things but this is a very nice piece of music.
"Marry Me" is Slow Dance Compatible
