10. Crazy in love (Beyonce)
Queen B has a song for everything including party songs for weddings and this is one of them. This song became popular when it was used in the dance-off scene in the comedy movie Hot Chicks and if you loved that scene (who doesn’t?) then you can always remake it in your wedding.
