Traditional Wedding Music

One thing nice about traditional wedding music: it's always "in"! Even bridal couples that want their wedding to have a more contemporary flair often include some traditional songs as well.

A brief word of clarification here! Oftentimes, when people hear the phrase traditional wedding music, they automatically think that means only classical music (there is, by the way, contemporary classical music!). As the saying goes, "it ain't necessarily so"! Indeed, it also includes songs belonging to other musical genres.

For example, "One Hand, One Heart" from the musical West Side Story is hardly classical music, but over the years it has been a part of so many weddings, that it became a traditional wedding song along the way. Other examples include"Sunrise, Sunset" from Fiddler On The Roof, and from the 1980s "All I Ask Of You" from Phantom Of The Opera. Again, those songs are hardly classical music, but their inclusion in so many weddings over time has made them a wedding tradition nonetheless.

Having said the above, the following lists include songs from various musical styles that, for one reason or another, are considered to be traditional wedding music.
