90's R&B Wedding Songs

Here's a mid-90's smash hit wedding song by female R&B group Pure Soul. This was the first true "wedding" song of that era.

Get "We Must Be in Love" by Pure Soul [Amazon].

Tony Terry: With You

There's all kinds of early 90′s New Jack Swing goodness in the outfits and hair, but the song itself is timeless. With You is a great R&B wedding song.

Standout lyric: "When I'm with you, the sun shines my way. Baby, our love reflects its rays of light on everyone in the world."

Guy: Let's Chill

Let's Chill is the quintessential New Jack Swing-era wedding song from Guy (The Future album).

Standout lyric: "Let's chill. Let's settle down. That's what I wanna do. Just me and you."

90's R&B Wedding Songs

Some of those slow jams you remember from the 1990s would make great wedding songs. It wasn't all high-top fades and New Jack Swing. (I remember. I was there.)

Jodeci: Love U 4 Life

Love U 4 Life is a classic 90s ballad from Jodeci, the group that made them better than anybody else. The video stars T-Boz from TLC.

Standout lyric: "Do you believe in love, and the promise that it gives?
I wanna love you for life, 'cause your love is why I live."

Eric Benet and Tamia: Spend My Life with You

I don't know this couple, (so I hope they don't mind me showcasing this), but boy are they adorable, and Eric Benet and Tamia's duet, "Spend My Life With You" is a perfect R&B song for their first dance.

Standout lyric: Well, it's a wedding song through and through, but my favorite line is,

"Can I just see you every morning when I open my eyes?"

Maxwell: Fortunate

By the early aughts, Neo Soul was in full swing. One of the best wedding songs of the decade came from one of the pioneers of the genre, Maxwell.

I don't know an R&B-lovin' bride alive who wouldn't want the sexiness that is Maxwell to serenade them with this tune. Here's "Fortunate" by Maxwell

K-Ci & JoJo: This Very Moment

Everyone knows "All my Life," but the Hailey brothers from Jodeci have another wedding anthem that you should consider if you're choosing R&B wedding songs. Here's "This Very Moment," which was featured on the Deliver us from Eva soundtrack. Look out for cameos in the movie's cast: Duane Martin, Meagan Goode, Robinne Lee, Essence Atkins and Mel Jackson.

Standout lyric: "This is the day that I prayed for, and you are the girl of my dreams."
