Notes from the booth.

Ten favorite wedding songs.

Whew. This is tough. First let me preface my thoughts and list with this: I believe in the transformative magic of music. I truly do. Music has the capability of transporting you through otherwise outwardly experiences.

Each of the songs below has exemplified this to the highest degree. These songs have meant a lot to millions of people and have been widely played throughout time at various types of events. With that mentioned, I still could name about 200 more with the same properties — which made this very challenging. To deliver just ten? I must have replaced each one at least twenty times. But you asked, and here I am delivering my list to you — incomplete, in no particular order, and with respect to the other countless incredible songs out there with matching transformative powers.

1. Can't Help Falling In LoveElvis Presley
2. Endless LoveDiana Ross & Lionel Richie
3. The Way You Look TonightFrank Sinatra
4. SomethingThe Beatles
5. Like A StarCorinne Bailey Rae
6. Don't Get Me WrongThe Pretenders
7. Always And ForeverHeatwave
8. Knocks Me Off My FeetStevie Wonder
9. What A Wonderful WorldSam Cooke
10. Only YouThe Platters
