Many couples today are including slideshows of their favorite photos as part of their ceremony or reception. Choosing the right music for your slideshow can be a difficult task, especially if you want something new and unique. We've compiled a list of our favorite newly released songs in several genres. We're hoping this will make the process of picking music a little easier for you. Some of these may not be your style, but we've included a wide variety and we know you'll find something you'll love.

10. Lucky By Jason Mraz with Cobie Caillet
Album: We Sing. We Dance. We Steal Things.
Lyrics to make you melt: Lucky I'm in love with my best friend; lucky to have been where I have been; lucky to be coming home again; lucky we're in love in every way
Why we love this song and you will too: This song is light and cheerful. It's the perfect song for anyone who has been in a long distance relationship for any period of time.

9. We Belong Together by Gavin DeGraw
Album: Gavin DeGraw
Lyrics to make you melt: We belong together; like the open seas and shores; wedded by the planet force; we've all been spoken for.
Why we love this song and you will too: For anyone who loves to rock, We Belong Together is a classic example of how even rockers know how to sing about love. This song certainly isn't for the faint of heart, but sometimes the best things don't always come in pretty little packages.

8. Never Find A Love Like This by Natasha Bedingfield
Album: Pocket Full of Sunshine
Lyrics to make you melt: You’re the only one that knows me; Love it when you hold me; Never find a love like this. Let me hear you say; Now I’ll never be lonely; Look at what you’ve shown me; Never find a love like this
We we love this song and you will too: This is the perfect song for all you high school sweethearts out there finally tying the knot. Listen to the song for the complete lyrics that will have you remembering what you felt like when you first met.

7. Can't Take My Eyes Off Of You by Lady Antebellum
Album: Lady Antebellum
Lyrics to make you melt: I love when you tell me that I'm pretty when I just woke up; And I love how you tease me when I'm moody but its never too much. I'm falling fast, and the truth is I'm not scared at all; You climbed my walls.
Why we love this song and you will too: It's simple melodic sound makes it romantic and sweet. Plus, if you are a fan of country music, this song contains sounds you'll be drawn too. This would make a very good song for your first dance.

6. Cinderella by Steven Curtis Chapman
Album: This Moment
Lyrics to make you melt: Well, she came home today; With a ring on her hand; Just glowin' and tellin' us all they had planned; She says "Dad, the wedding's due six months away; And I need to practice my dancin'"; "Oh please, daddy please!"
Why we love this song and you will too: Remember the song "Butterfly Kisses" that came out a few years ago and was used in almost every wedding for the father-daughter dance? Here is its replacement. This song is for any "Daddy's Girl." Just be sure to pack the kleen-x.

5. Angel by Jack Johnson
Album: Sleep Through The Static
Lyrics to make you melt: I’ve got an angel; She doesn’t wear any wings; She wears a heart that could melt my own; She wears a smile that could make me want to sing
Why we love this song and you will too: This song has almost a lullaby quality to it. It's sweet and simple, and terribly romantic. This is an excellent first dance song.

4. Oh Love by Brad Paisley featuring Carrie Underwood
Album: 5th Gear
Lyrics to make you melt: You can break a heart in pieces; Put it back together again; You can break down sweet forgiveness; You’re the one that never ends
Why we love this song and you will too: Beautiful doesn't begin to describe this gentle ode to love that is tender and honest. This song could work for anyone who loves country music, but is not so "twangy" that it would turn off non-country lovers.

3. Say It Again by Marie Digby
Album: Unfold
Lyrics to make you melt: And it feels like it’s the first time; That anybody's ever brought the sun without the rain; And never in my whole life; Have I heard words as beautiful as when you say my name
Why we love this song and you will too: Marie Digby is a crossover between pop and folk. This upbeat and cheerful song describes how love can creep on you by surprise. The song is certainly not complicated in any way, but we dare you to keep from tapping your toes.

2. Until You by Dave Barnes
Album: Me and You and The World
Lyrics to make you melt: There's a silent celebration for; Every breath you breathe; Now this all makes sense; With you as company; I left all I knew and found; A better part of me
Why we love this song and you will too: Anyone who has ever been in love knows what it feels like to find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. It's almost as if your life finally starts. And this song describes the feeling perfectly without being sappy.

1. Make You Feel My Love by Adele
Album: 19
Lyrics to make you melt: When the rain is blowing in your face; And the whole world is on your case; I would offer you a warm embrace; To make you feel my love
Why we love this song and you will too: This song was originally recorded by Garth Brooks, but Adele offers a modern version. If you like Amy Winehouse, you'll love Adele and this ultra romantic song. The words are incredible and will melt your heart. There is no doubt, this song is a winner.
