And if you’re after the live version, Country Bound can help you bring these songs to life.
Marry Me – Thomas Rhett
Beautifully understated, this one’s all about quiet devotion. Rhett’s soft vocals and steady rhythm make it ideal for a slow, romantic first dance.
It feels modern, but still rooted in country’s emotional core.
Yours – Russell Dickerson
A strong contender for the most popular country first dance song in recent years.
There’s something uplifting about the way Dickerson tells his love story – a reminder that even when life’s messy, love can still feel like coming home.
You’re Still the One – Shania Twain
A classic for good reason.
Sweet without being saccharine, it’s perfect for couples who’ve weathered a few storms together and come out stronger.
Works well later in the evening, when the lights are low and everyone’s singing along.
I Loved Her First – Heartland
If you’re looking for a father-daughter dance song that’ll get the tears flowing, this is it.
The lyrics are heartfelt without being too heavy, and it strikes just the right emotional note between pride, love and letting go.
Beautiful Crazy – Luke Combs
Full of tender admiration, this ballad captures the kind of everyday love that feels effortless and true.
Combs’ raw sincerity makes it a gorgeous choice for a first dance or intimate moment between newlyweds.
Tennessee Whiskey – Chris Stapleton
With its bluesy groove and soulful delivery, this song brings a smouldering, romantic edge to any wedding playlist.
Ideal for a slower dance later in the evening, it’s a great way to shift the mood while keeping that country soul intact.
Take Forever (Hally’s Song) – Cooper Alan
A newer addition that’s already making waves.
Emotional, modern and refreshingly honest, this track is a heartfelt love letter in song form.
Perfect for couples looking to break from tradition while still staying true to country roots.
Die a Happy Man – Thomas Rhett
A slow, more stripped-back track that lets the lyrics take centre stage.
Best suited to a quieter moment, perhaps the first dance or during the signing of the register.
Then – Brad Paisley
This one’s all about the small, everyday things that make a relationship last.
With a gentle build and clear vocals, it makes a great background track for the ceremony or as the bride walks down the aisle.
