Bon Jovi Love Hits

Always

Released in 1994 on the album Cross Road

Bon Jovi’s most romantic love song that you can play at any part of your wedding day. A fantastic first dance song or an anniversary dance song for 90s couples!

“I will love you baby, Always and I’ll be there, Forever and a day, Always”

Livin’ On A Prayer

Released 1986 on the album Slippery When Wet

One of the greatest party songs of all-time! One of the best Rock party songs of all time!

“It doesn’t make a difference if we make it or not, We’ve got each other and that’s a lot for love, We’ll give it a shot”

I’ll Be There For You

Released in 1989 on the album New Jersey

A perfect slow dance song for all of the couples in attendance.

“I’ll be there for you, These five words I swear to you, When you breathe I want to be the air for you, I’ll be there for you”

Wanted Dead Or Alive

Released in 1987 on the album Slippery When Wet

One of the greatest sing-along songs from the hair band era. Not really a love song but a well-known song great as a wedding entrance or last dance song for Bon Jovi lovers. The acoustic beginning can also be used to accent events.

I’m a cowboy
On a steel horse I ride
I’m wanted (wanted), dead or alive

Bed Of Roses

Released in 1993 on the album Keep the Faith

I would recommend saving this for your wedding night – if you know what I mean wink wink.

“About all of the things that I long to believe, About love and the truth and, What you mean to me, And the truth is baby you’re all that I need”

Born To Be My Baby

Released in 1988 on the album New Jersey

This is an upbeat song you can add to a cocktail hour or as a recessional song.

“You were born to be my baby, And baby, I was made to be your man”

Thank You For Loving Me

Released in 2000 on the album Crush

A love song for any wedding ceremony or reception.

“I never knew I had a dream, Until that dream was you”

I’d Die For You

Released in 1986 on the album Slippery When Wet

This is a great reception closing song to sing the lyrics to each other.

“If it came right down to me and you, You know it’s true, Baby I’d die for you”

(You Want To) Make A Memory

Released in 2007 on the album Lost Highway

“You could sing a melody to me, And I could write a couple lines, You wanna make a memory”

All About Lovin’ You

Released in 2003 on the album Bounce

“You can take this world away, You’re everything I am, Just read the lines upon my face, I’m all about lovin’ you”

You may notice the songs “Bad Medicine” and “You Give Love A Bad Name”. If these songs mean a lot to you, then, by all means, go ahead and play them at your wedding. For the rest of us, these songs will leave a bad taste in our mouths. Bad Medicine and You Give Love A Bad Name do not really tell the story of a love story song appropriate for a wedding.
