As mentioned earlier this week, one of our own is embarking on a lifetime of marital bliss this weekend–and because we believe in doin’ it up big here at PB, when it comes to celebrating our own, we’re devoting this Friday’s Random Ten to wedding songs in blackink12’s honor.
Below, you’ll find an amalgam of tunes folks either sing during ceremonies, request at receptions, and/or can’t believe were recorded with nuptials of any kind in mind.
Raise high your glass (or your pimp chalice) in our comrade’s honor as you listen to our marital mixtape.
And, as always, be sure to add any reception requests of your own to the comments section.
1. “International Player’s Anthem (I Choose You)” by UGK f/Outkast (slb)
2. “Spend My Life” by Eric Benét featuring Tamia (Alisa)
3. “Bonnie and Shyne” by Shyne featuring Barrington Levy (R. A. B.)
4. “I Do” by Boyz II Men (brokeymcpoverty)
5. “White Wedding” by Billy Idol (quadmoniker)
6. “Let’s Get Married (Remix)” by Jagged Edge featuring Run DMC (Alisa)
7. “Wifey” by Next (brokeymcpoverty)
8. “You” by Jesse Powell (Alisa)
9. “No One Else in the Room” by Nas featuring Maxwell (R.A.B.)
10. “Love U 4 Life” by Jodeci (slb)
Once y’all finish playin’ these (and the Cupid Shuffle), it’ll almost be like you were there!
Finally, an honorable mention for Shalamar’s “A Night to Remember,” a staple at many a hip and happenin’ wedding reception:

Should “Wifey” be on this list? I don’t think I’d want that played at my wedding. I’ve always thought of ‘wifey’ as sort of a derogatory term. But maybe I’m wrong.
Congratulations blackink12.
It’s not just a list of songs that would be played at weddings. It’s “an amalgam of tunes folks either sing during ceremonies, request at receptions, and/or can’t believe were recorded with nuptials of any kind in mind.”
“Wifey” falls into the latter category. So does “Let’s Get Married.”
LMAO! This is perfect.
@Val, I dunno. Jagged Edge kinda lost me with that line “We ain’t gettin’ no younger, so we might as well do it.” It’s like, really dude? That’s how you propose?
Maze feat. Frankie Beverly “Before I Let Go”…..
Heatwave “Always and Forever”
and what Grump said…
Kenny Lattimore, For You.
“Make Me Whole” by Amel Larrieux
The content ain’t the best but something about Jagged Edge’s “Let’s Get Married” just works for me – perhaps it’s b/c it was around the time I proposed to my wife.
