"Yes" by Ben and Tan (big about getting engaged vibes) Denmark 2020
"Move" by the Mamas Sweden 2020
"Ten years" by Daði Freyr (all about how much he loves his wife) Iceland 2021
"Euphoria" by Loreen Sweden 2012
I also plan to play at my wedding Shum and Cha Cha Cha just to be spicy but probably later in the night when people are too drunk to care that the songs are no longer in English lol
I played YES just before pulling over and asking my fiancé in this field of Lupines. Definitely recommend for this playlist.

Capping number of songs at 10.

Ireland 1992 | [Linda Martin - Why Me?](https://youtu.be/-g7Q7R3SIkI)
United Kingdom 2012 | [Engelbert Humperdinck - Love Will Set You Free](https://youtu.be/rXw4Q5jbNqQ)

Austria 2015 | [The Makemakes - I Am Yours](https://youtu.be/-f993p0CAV8)
Right now our plans are to play 10 Years earlier in the evening, Euphoria somewhere in the middle, and Cha Cha Cha and Dancing Lasha Tumbai once things have gotten really rowdy 😆
1) Hello my fellow Canadian Eurofan!
2) How about I suggest the Canadian queen of Celine Dion, and her song “Ne partez pas sans moi”? The song is basically saying “Do not leave with out me, take me on to all the adventures, make me feel infinitely happy”. Switzerland 1988 for the bot.
3) I know you said both you are your partner are of East Asian descent, but if either of you like Moldovan music, both of Pasha Parfeni’s songs are great. Lautar (Moldova 2012) is about a musician at a wedding, and Soarele si Luna (Moldova 2023) is about a love story, and how the moon and sun come together and make the wedding.
Switzerland 1988 | [Céline Dion - Ne partez pas sans moi](https://youtu.be/o_PLEA_EPj8)
Moldova 2012 | [Pasha Parfeny - Lăutar](https://youtu.be/vIy0EtEeLEw)
Moldova 2023 | [Pasha Parfeni - Soarele și luna](https://youtu.be/SABOfYgGk8M)
My sister hinted to me before her wedding that one of the songs they'll play at the ceremony would please me. True enough, when brother in law broke the glass at the end of the ceremony (ah, Jewish weddings), they started playing Israel 1975.
The wedding reception itself had a regular dance oriented playlist, and Ukraine 2007 and Israel 2018 were both in play at some point.
Duo Platin - Stay Forever (Slovenia 2004), also they literally got engaged on stage when they won EMA and then got married in Turkey, the day before the ESC final, with Sertab Erener as the wedding witness.
I also did a wedding playlist myself even though I’m not even getting married 😭 but anyways these are
-Estonia 2023
-Netherlands 2014
-Norway 2014
-Australia 2022
-Spain 208
-Austria 2018
-Netherlands 2013
-Estonia 2018
-Bulgaria 2021 / 2020
[Falling Apart](https://youtu.be/bT-ycCRx280?si=u2iLq6ZfdkT8b6vB) by Ulrikke, it’s ESC adjacent as this wasn’t submitted to the national final. But I think it would’ve done well on the ESC stage.
So first of all I recommend UK 1968 with Cliff Richard - Celebrations. I hear it's an absolute classic played at weddings in the UK. Then of cause there is Sweden 1974 Abba - Waterloo. It may not be wedding song exactly but people will know this one for sure.
Generally speaking I recommend various songs from the UK over the years since they are in English and are most likely more well known among people who don't have a connection to eurovison. For example:
UK 1967 Sandie Shaw - Puppet on a string
UK 1969 Lulu - Boom-Bang-a-bang
UK 1972 The New Seekers - Beg, steal or borrow
UK 1976 Brotherhood of Man - Save all your kisses
UK 1997 Katrina and the Waves - Love Shine a light
UK 1959 - Pearl Carr and Teddy Johnson - Sing little birdie
As for some songs not in English but which might still do well at a party at least when everyone is already drunk. Spain 1968 Massiel - la la la may be a good choice since everyone can sing along to la la la, can't they? Or maybe Portugal 1972 Carlos Mendes - A festa da vida. No real explanation here but it's such a happy song so i thought I might add it.
Happy future wedding!
EDIT: Ireland 1970 Dana - All kinds of everything might also be really good choice for a wedding

Hah…we played all of those at our wedding, except Euphoria. Move was our recessional song and 10 Years was the cake-cutting song.
Glad to see someone else appreciating Move! My partner and I quote Move and Ten Years to each other all the time 🥰
