Chances are, the soundtrack to your wedding will include John Legend, Bruno Mars, and a whole lot of Ed Sheeran.

The number one pick: the romantic ballad "All of Me" by John Legend.

Although the list favored contemporary hits, a number of classic tunes made the cut, including "You Are The Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne, "At Last" by Etta James, and of course, "Can't Help Falling in Love" by Elvis Presley. Modern artist Bruno Mars was a popular choice, as was Jason Mraz, Beyoncé, and Pharrell Williams.
