The June 2019 Wedding Movies Soundtrack Quiz

100p1.JPG

In honor of wedding month, we’re celebrating movies with a wedding theme. A few of these are on my guilty pleasure list and a couple are on my never watch again list. These movies are about the big day or a love story that culminates in a wedding. One of the things we love about them is their soundtracks. After giving them a good listen, we’ve selected a song from each movie’s soundtrack. It’s probably not the theme song - that might be too easy. If you’ve seen the movie, you should remember the songs we’ve chosen. Match the title of the song to the movie it’s in. We’ve included the name of the artist/group* who performs the song on the soundtrack.

*For a few of these songs, the main character(s) sings along.
