Believe it or not, many couples don't have their wedding song picked out as the wedding draws near. Many are so busy planning the big day that they forget the detail of finding "their song" for the wedding. Luckily we have compiled a list of wedding songs that may make your decision a little easier and maybe have your groom shed a tear!

When choosing your wedding song you will want to look for something that really speaks to who you two are as a couple.

You will be surprised by what you come up with!

2. Bruno Mars - Just The Way You Are - This song by Bruno Mars would make for a second wedding song option! It's a beautiful song to twirl on the dance floor with your groom!

Keep track of songs you hear while you are planning your wedding, have your bridesmaids help you find the perfect song for your wedding song! Also, think about music and artists he may like as well as yours, that should make the search for a wedding song much easier.

3. Staind - Tangled Up In You - For the couple that loves a little rock and a lot of lead singer Aaron Lewis in their lives, this song by Staind is just lovely for a wedding song!

When considering your wedding song, you may also consider songs that have a cultural or religious significance to who you are as a couple or individually. Is there a song you just loved growing up that was also a love song of some kind that you always dreamed of having at your wedding? Ask your parents and grandparents for ideas about these types of songs.

4. Peter Cetera & Cher - After All - For those Peter Cetera and Cher fans out there, this song is just a beautiful song for your wedding!

5. John Legend - All of Me - This song by John Legend song actually shows his wedding with his own wife (who is the woman in the video by the way) If this doesn't say love, we don't know what does!

Does your wedding have a certain theme? Maybe consider a wedding song that goes along with the theme of your wedding. Or is your wedding decade themed? Find a wedding song that coincides with the decade.

6. Frank Sinatra - The Way You Look Tonight - No one can sing about love better than Frank Sinatra! How lovely is this song!

The first song is usually played immediately after the couple comes into the reception after they are announced by the band or DJ. The first song is usually danced by the couple alone. If there is second song you plan on including in your wedding repertoire, a faster more upbeat song is usually what is played.

7. Jason Mraz - Lucky (feat. Colbie Caillat) - How lucky you are two to have found each other! This song by Jason Mraz and Colbie Caillet is such a fun and playful song for the couple that met each other as friends first!

If you are taking dance lessons and still can't find a song, ask your dance instructor for some popular songs.

8. Shania Twain - You've Got A Way - This song by Shania Twain is one of those songs that can easily make you feel as if you and your groom are the only two people in the room at your wedding, it is just that beautiful!
