With weddings these days becoming more and more personal (and personalized), the soundtrack to your bridal march or even your wedding party is another great opportunity for your guests to experience what you're really like as a couple.
If you're a music-loving duo, you might want to consider OPM songs from your favorite bands, or maybe from the first gig you went to together. Not only will the playlist be more meaningful, your guests will also be treated to some of the most romantic songs our local artists have to offer. Here are a few options to get you started:
"Tagpuan" by Moira dela Torre
Jason proposed to Moira while filming the music video for "Tagpuan." And instead of a traditional wedding march, that very same track was performed by OPM band Ben&Ben as Moira walked down the aisle!
The most quotable line:
Nung ako'y pinaglaban mo
At tumigil ang mundo
Nung ako'y pinili mo
Siya ang panalangin ko
"Ikaw at Ako" by Johnoy Danao
This song from veteran singer-songwriter Johnoy Danao quickly became a popular wedding song upon its release.
The most quotable line:
Bawat hangad kayang abutin
Sa pangamba'y di paaalipin
Basta't ikaw, ako
Tayo magpakailanman
"Bawat Daan" by Ebe Dancel
If you watched Sa Wakas, A New Pinoy Rock Musical which featured the songs of Sugarfree, you'll definitely remember this tear-jerking number that Ebe wrote for the play.
The most quotable line:
Kung puso ko ay imamapa
Ikaw ang dulo, gitna't simula
Nahanap din kita (kay tagal kong naghintay)
Nahanap din kita (kay tagal kong naghintay)
"Dahil Nariyan Ka" by Noel Cabangon
Perfect for a cold, destination wedding (to match Noel Cabangon's "malamig na boses").
The most quotable line:
Ang bawat likha sa paligid
Ay tila umaayon sa 'ting pag-ibig
Parang langit
Parang walang hanggang panaginip
"Your Song" by Parokya ni Edgar
Because we all know this band actually makes great love songs.
The most quotable line:
Now I know
That I know not a thing at all
Except the fact that I am yours
And that you are mine
Promises by Spongecola (feat. Karylle)
Written by guitarist Erwin Armovit, the song is based on the instrumental piece he played at Karylle and Yael Yuzon's wedding.
The most quotable line:
We are unbroken
Unspoken
Promises made divine
Unending
Ascending
Forever is yours and mine
"Your Universe" by Rico Blanco
The perfect song for a love that consumes you.
The most quotable line:
You hold me like I'm the one who's precious
I hate to break it to you but its just
The other way around
You can thank your stars all you want but
I'll always be the lucky one
"With A Smile" by Eraserheads
A classic hit guests of all ages will love. You can even try the Southborder version for an RnB twist.
The most quotable line:
Girl I'll stay through the bad times
Even if I have to fetch you everyday
We'll get by with a smile
You can never be too happy in this life
Ayokong Tumanda by The Itchyworms
The perfect dance song for a quirky rocker couple!
For the quirky couple, this upbeat track
The most quotable line:
Natakot lang ako noong sinabi mo
Na ayaw mong ako ang mauna
Ang sabi ko sayo
Mas lalong ayaw ko
Mawala ka at ako ang matira
"Prom" by Sugarfree
Feel like kids again by reliving the magic of prom. (Perfect if you're marrying your high school sweetheart!)
The most quotable line:
Parang atin ang gabi
Para bang wala tayong katabi
At tayo'y sumayaw
Na parang di na tayo bibitaw
"Panalangin" by Apo Hiking Society
Another classic choice you can slow dance to.
The most quotable line:
Wala nang iba pang mas mahalaga
Sa tamis na dulot ng pag-ibig natin dal'wa
At sana nama'y makikinig ka
Kapag aking sasabihing minamahal kita
"Maybe the Night" by Ben&Ben
This folk number will add an epic feel to a lovely wedding under the stars.
The most quotable line:
Maybe the night holds a little hope for us, dear
Maybe we might want to settle down, just be near
Stay together
Stay together here
"Kahit Kailan" by Southborder
How can we make a list and NOT include this hit?
The most quotable line:
Bulong ng yong' damdamin
Pag-ibig na walang hanggan
Ang siyang nais kong makamtan.
Ngayon ay narito ako,
Handang umibig sa iyo
Na walang katapusan
