The wedding cake is one of the main features of wedding receptions. It is so much more than dessert servings after the main course. The cutting of the wedding cake symbolizes the first task a bride and groom perform together as husband and wife. Just as the first dance symbolizes the first dance as a married couple. For those who love R&B music style, enjoy our list of 21 R&B wedding cake cutting songs.

Rhythm and blues, commonly referred to as R&B, is a music style that combines Pop, Blues, Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, Gospel, and Jazz. The mix of Soul into R&B makes it the perfect pairing with wedding music.
