Inside: Use these love songs at your wedding reception to save money on a DJ. Rest easy: These are about REAL love – not heartbreak or infatuation or stalking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My fiancé and I have been writing an ongoing love letter to each other for two years—but not how you might think.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A few years ago after we both emerged from the fog of divorce, we were a little jaded when it came to love and romance and marriage. By “a little,” I mean completely<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And then Cupid or God or whoever you want to call it took a look at those brand spankin’ new brick walls we’d just worked so hard to build up around our poor shriveled hearts—and he thought he’d have a bit of fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I don’t believe in anything but myself
I don’t believe in anything but myself
But then you opened up a door, you opened up a door
Now I start to believe in something else”<\/p>\nIngrid Michaelson, “Soldier”<\/cite><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n

Suddenly, all those rom coms and sappy love songs<\/a> made TOTAL sense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So we started a playlist. We called it—get ready for this—”Love Songs.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Every time one of us came across a song whose lyrics came close to describing the intensity of what we were feeling, we’d send the song title to the other and add it to the playlist.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than two years later, we’re still adding to the playlist. We’ve curated more than 100 of the best<\/strong> unknown love songs out there.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But you won’t find Celine Dion or “When a Man Loves a Woman” on our Love Songs playlist. Sappy need not apply. These are modern, upbeat tunes about real love<\/strong>—not heartbreak or temporary infatuation or stalking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now that we’re planning our wedding, it dawned on us we’ve got ourselves a ready-made wedding playlist on our hands.<\/p>\n\n\n
