Finding wedding processional songs can be quite the task, especially if you really want to give your guests all the feels. Of course there are the go-to songs like “Canon in D Major” or the ultra-popular “A Thousand Years,” but if you’re really aiming for a wedding processional song to give your loved ones goosebumps, you'll need to dig a little deeper. That's why we created a wedding ceremony playlist filled with tear-inducing contemporary love songs.
