1. ‘I’d Love to Change Your Name’

Lyrics You’ll Love: Ain’t nothin’ else about you I’d ever want to change / Honey, I’d sure love to change your name

Fancy something a bit more upbeat as your first dance? Well, try ‘I’d love to change your name’ on for size. This song is about getting married. How Kenny would change nothing about his woman (she is perfect), and the only thing that really has to change about her is her name.

Hopefully, this is the way that you think about your partner. Makes the song perfect, right?

2. ‘When I Close My Eyes’ 

Lyrics You’ll Love: When I close my eyes, you’re all I see / In the dark of night, you’re in my dreams

We’re slowing things down a little bit with this one of the Kenny Chesney wedding songs. ‘When I Close My Eyes’ is the perfect first dance song. While the lyrics are, technically, about losing somebody that you love, you can’t really tell.

To us, it is more about a song of how your life revolves around the person that you love, and you see them in everything that you do. When you close your eyes, they are the only person that you want to see.

This is one of our favorite country songs for first dances, and we reckon it will be one of yours too.

3. ‘Somewhere With You’

Lyrics You’ll Love: But it’s just a temporary high, ’cause when I close my eyes / I’m somewhere with you, somewhere with you

Somebody once told us that this is one of the best Kenny Chesney wedding songs, and we agree. While you won’t be playing this track during the early part of your wedding, it is the perfect song to play the bride and groom out.

The song is about how Kenny will follow the person he loves no matter where she goes. That nobody else matters. What better way to start your married life?

4. ‘Don’t Blink’

Lyrics You’ll Love: Don’t blink, just like that you’re six years old / And you take a nap / And you wake up and you’re twenty-five / And your high school sweetheart becomes your wife

This song is a little bit sad, but it still works well as a first dance. Kenny Chesney sings about savoring every moment in your life, because if you don’t, you could miss those important milestones.

Because of the ‘high school sweetheart becomes your wife’, we see this as being a great song for those that are marrying those that they fell in love with at high school.

5. ‘All I Need to Know’

Lyrics You’ll Love: I’ll always have you to hold / And that’s all I need to know

This is a classic Kenny Chesney song and one that you’ve probably heard countless times before. It is a man singing about how he isn’t perfect, but he doesn’t need to be. The only thing that he knows that he needs in his life is the person that he loves.

We must admit that we heard this once as a first dance song, and we ended up shedding a tear. It is beautiful.

6. ‘Me and You’

Lyrics You’ll Love: Like a perfect scene / From a movie screen / We’re a dream come true / Suited perfectly / For eternity / Me and you

Hopefully, by the time you walk the love of your life down the aisle, you feel like they complete you. That the only perfect moments are the moments that the two of you share. This song encapsulates those feelings.

We find ‘Me and You’ works well both as a bridal processional song and a first dance song. Kenny Chesney has a lot of romantic songs, but few as romantic as this one.

7. ‘Ain’t That Love’

Lyrics You’ll Love: I will always remember / The first time that we met / And the first time that I kissed your lips / Is a thing I won’t forget

‘Ain’t That Love’ gets off to a great start. A memory of the very first kiss two people shared, and we bet that you remember that kiss. You will for the rest of your life. After that, Kenny takes us on a journey of all the feelings about love.

How love is strong enough to get through the toughest times, and it is the glue that holds two people together. How a day isn’t bright unless the happy couple are holding one another.

This makes a fantastic first dance song. As you hold your partner, think of all those happy moments you have shared with each other, and the many more happy moments that are still to come.

8. ‘She Always Says it First’

Lyrics You’ll Love: I always tell her I love her / But she always says it first

This is a beautiful love song. Kenny sings about how beautiful, kind, and caring the person that he loves is. He serenades us about how he couldn’t possibly be complete without his woman.

However, the real highlight is when he sings about how he tells his wife he loves her every single day, but she always says it first. Why? Because of all the actions that she takes in her life. He looks at her actions, and how happy she makes him feel. That is her saying that she loves him.

This is the ‘ultimate’ romance song, and perfect for a great slow first dance.

9. ‘She’s Got It All’

Lyrics You’ll Love: She’s got it all my heart my soul my wishes / All of my love, my hugs, my kisses

If you feel like getting up and dancing to a classic Kenny Chesney song, then ‘She’s Got It All’ is absolutely perfect.

This is a great ‘get up and boogie’ track, and even if somebody doesn’t like country music, chances are they have heard this banger. Just wait until that chorus and people will be bopping along!

This song is about how the woman has everything that the guy needs. He needs nothing else. By now you already know that this is a staple theme in Kenny Chesney songs.

10. ‘In My Wildest Dreams’

Lyrics You’ll Love: What’s an angel like you doin’ in my wildest dreams? / A walkin` talkin` lovin` fantasy.

This isn’t one of the more ‘well-known’ Kenny Chesney songs, but that’s what we love about it. People don’t really want to play the most overplayed songs at their wedding. They want something that is unique. If you are a Kenny Chesney fan, you’ll love this one.

It is a great song to get up and dance to in the middle of the evening (probably once the alcohol is free-flowing). It is a song about spending your life with your angel. How you cannot be happier to be in this relationship.

11. ‘Fall in Love’

Lyrics You’ll Love: Don’t that make you want to fall in love / Don’t that look like a picture of us
/ A match made in heaven if there ever was

Another ‘middle of the night’ boogie. We love the guitar work on this tune, and it is just fun to listen to. The lyrics are about watching somebody get married, and realizing that’s everything that you want with your partner.

If you think you and your partner are a match made in heaven (and you should be), then this song is fantastic to dance to!

12. ‘I Will Stand’

Lyrics You’ll Love: I will not be the one / Who turns his back and runs / When things get rocky down the line

Fancy a bit of 90s Kenny? Of course, you do! This great ‘first dance’ song is about how when life gets tough, nobody will be running from one another.

The beautiful love that the couple shares is going to stand the test of time, and even when things get tough, nothing is going to get in between them. Hopefully, this is exactly how you feel about your new spouse.

13. ‘You Had Me From Hello’

Lyrics You’ll Love: Well, you had me from “Hello” / And I felt love start to grow

Did you experience love at first sight? This track may be for you. It is one of Kenny Chesney’s most popular tracks. It is about how it takes just one word to start falling in love with somebody and planning the rest of your life together.

It is about falling in love forever and being emotionally vulnerable with your partner. If this describes your relationship, add it to your wedding songs playlist.

14. ‘How Forever Feels’

Lyrics You’ll Love: I wanna know how forever feels / Hey, I wanna know how forever feels / Girl, I wanna know how forever feels

We can’t help but feel that this is the perfect romantic song for those beach weddings. For a good chunk of this song, Kenny is singing about love on the beach. He then transitions into talking about how great his life has been, the only thing he wants for the rest of his life is to get married.

This is a great Kenny Chesney wedding song if you want people to get up and dance at your wedding! Every country music fan knows it.

15. ‘Everywhere We Go’

Lyrics You’ll Love: Seems like everywhere we go baby, love goes / Everywhere, every time our hearts meet, love is all around us

We love this as a more upbeat first dance song. Kenny Chesney serenades us with a tale of how love is wherever the happy couple are. How it would be great just to escape to a private island because as long as they have the love of their life, they are going to feel complete.

This is another one of the lesser-known Kenny Chesney songs, so great for the hardcore Kenny fans.
