Sir Elton John is entrenched in the hearts of everyone in his homeland of England and in America. His music career spans more than 5 decades. Many of the songs Sir Elton has released make for perfect accents to many wedding events.

I have assembled a list of my favorite Sir Elton John wedding songs.

Elton John, born Reginald Kenneth Dwight, was knighted by Queen Elizabeth II for his charitable work and was awarded the honorific Sir.

The success of Sir Elton is due to his collaboration with lyricist Bernie Taupin. In addition, Sir Elton was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1994.

For you and I have a guardian angel
On high, with nothing to do

And know that you’re blessed

And now she’s in me, always with me, tiny dancer in my hand

With a friend at hand you will see the light
If your friends are there, then everything’s all right
