For decades, couples have searched for the perfect wedding song to

express their feelings, but these classic tunes keep coming back year

after year.

version, but this timeless track draws couples of all ages. Sinatra

once called Bennett, "the best singer in the business."

2. When I Fall in Love (Nat King Cole) Celine Dion and Peabo Bryson

covered this song in the 1990s for Disney's "Beauty and the Beast."

Bryson also paired up with Regina Belle to sing A Whole New World for

Disney's "Aladdin."

3. Unchained Melody (The Righteous Brothers) Everyone from Elvis to

American Idol contestants have tried to out-do the original, but most

couples rely on The Righteous Brothers' version on their happy day.

The words "unchained melody" are actually never heard in the song.

after releasing this signature track in the 1960s, sang "At Last" at

popular contemporary tracks on the list, this track was recorded in

throughout Canada, Celine married her manager Rene Angelil in 1994.
