No matter how much effort is put into it, every Lebanese wedding ends up being the same as every other one you’ve been to. These songs have stood the test of time, being played at every wedding you’ll ever attend in Lebanon.
1. Ramy Ayyach – Mabrouk
The wedding song to end all wedding songs. Cue the cake.
2. Mohamed Iskandar – Joumhiriyet Albi
Sexist as it is, all your aunts will dance to this.
3. Elissa – Aa Bali Habibi
Elissa is compulsory.
4. Sherine – Koli Melkak
Sherine’s input for your first dance.
5. Joe Ashkar – Ya Raytek Marti
Kind of unnecessary seeing as you’re at an actual wedding, but will forever be played.
6. Haifa Wehbe – Ya Ibn El Halal
Haifa is a Lebanese wedding must-have.
7. Mohammad Hijazi – Zaffet El Aarous
The OG wedding song.
8. Saad El Mjarred – Maalem
What is this song even about?
9. Marwan Mahfouz – Ya Seif
Intense as hell.
10. Khaled – C’est La Vie
Has absolutely nothing to do with weddings, but it’s always there.
11. John Legend – All of Me
Try and get this ear-worm out of your head.
12. Jenno Notto
#Facepalm
13. Ragheb Alameh – Nasini El Donya
The people will always want Ragheb.
14. Majida El Roomi – Tolli Bel Abyad
One of the songs that seems to have always been there.
