Chances are, by the time you and your newly minted spouse are ready to cut the cake, you will have settled into a nice groove at your reception. The drinks will be flowing, your guests will be tearing up the dance floor, and the celebration will be in full swing. Because the party will be well underway, the song you pick to accompany your cake-cutting should be fun, a bit romantic, and even sentimental.

You could stick with a classic, cheeky song like "Love and Marriage," by Frank Sinatra, or pick something a little bit more modern and on the nose like Justin Bieber’s "Yummy" or DNCE’s "Cake by the Ocean." No matter what song you choose, the moment you cut your cake will inevitably be super sweet.
