Wedding Songs from the Twilight Saga
“A Thousand Years” by Christina Perri
Lyrics To Inspire You:
Darling don’t be afraid I have loved you For a thousand years I’ll love you for a thousand more
The next song has been a popular selection for Twilight fans to incorporate into their wedding day playlist as a first dance song. However, if you want it for a ceremony song, I would suggest selecting the Vitamin String Quartet version.
This is the song that Bella and Edward danced their first dance to:
“Flightless Bird, American Mouth” by Iron & Wine
Lyrics To Inspire You:
Have I found you? Flightless bird, jealous, weeping Or lost you?
While not selected by every fan, the next song is extremely romantic and not to miss.
“Love Will Take You” by Angus & Julia Stone
Lyrics To Inspire You:
If we hadn’t had the heart We wouldn’t have this home Love, love will take you
If you are looking for a Twilight song to incorporate into your wedding ceremony such as a processional song, then consider this instrumental song:
“Bella’s Lullaby” by Maksym Rzeminski
A very popular classical song featured in the first film is suitable to play as a prelude song (as guests arrive and take their seats):
“Clair de Lune” by Claude Debussy
Bella walks down the aisle for her wedding in The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1 to the instrumental version of this song. You could have either version for your wedding!
“Turning Page” by Sleeping At Last
Lyrics To Inspire You:
I surrender who I’ve been for who you are For nothing makes me stronger than your fragile heart If I had only felt how it feels to be yours
That being said, the movie does not match the book. In the book, Bella walks down the aisle to marry Edward to Johann Pachelbel’s classical song “Canon in D”. A favorite cover is by Brooklyn Duo with a cello and piano.
“Canon in D” by Brooklyn Duo
