Wedding Playlist
Wedding music for a movie-themed party
Are you planning a Hollywood-themed wedding, or are you and your hubby-to-be movie buffs? Why not make the songs at your wedding play like a soundtrack to a movie by incorporating hit songs from the big screen into your day. Here are some of our favorite songs from movies, and see below to find out what movie these songs are from and when we think you should play them at your affair. —Cari Wolfert

We're using "She" from Notting Hill for the flower girls' and bride's entrances at our wedding and "As Time Goes By" for a last dance. Even though we know the original use was in Casablanca, we are using the Jimmy Durante version used in Sleepless in Seatle.
I know that "I Will Always Love You" is a beautiful song but has anyone listened to the lyrics...it's about a break-up -she's leaving him for his own good - not my idea of a great sentiment to start off a marriage!
