- S’Wonderful, Diana Krall: Sway onto the dance floor to jazzy piano chords and romantic husky vocals.
- Let’s Stay Together, Al Green: Revisit the 1970s with this old-school hit. Guests won’t be able to resist singing along.
- I’ll be there, The Parlotones: South African flavour at its best. Happily ever after could not be represented any more beautifully than in these lyrics: “Angelic, little princess, I want to wake up to your face every morning... Every breath you take I’ll be there for you”
- Green Eyes, Coldplay: Coldplay sure have earned their monopoly on romantic movie soundtracks – even if the object of your adoration does not have emerald-hued eyes, Chris Martin and his musical gang are guaranteed to stir up a few goose bumps. Alternatively, pick Blue Eyes by the Cary Brothers.
- Romeo and Juliet, Dire Straits: If your early romance was a turbulent one that often felt like it could rival this Shakespearean classic, mark your eventual coming together with this laid-back, mellow song about the ultimate star-crossed lovers.
- Anyone Else But You, The Mouldy Peaches: This lovely quirky little tune from the Juno soundtrack will be sure to result in many smiles.
- All I Even Wanted, Mariah Carey: Declare your eternal devotion like only Miss MiMi can with this powerful ballad.
- #1 Crush, Garbage: Too much sentimentality for you? Cut through conventionality with this edgy, grittily emotive track for an unexpected twist.
- At Last, Etta James: A timeless classic that evokes goose bumps with every listen.
- Love me do, The Beatles: Impress guests with a choreographed dance routine to this fun, playful tune.
