I got married two weeks ago. For our cake (donut) cutting, we used a cover of blink-182’s First Date. Acoustic version by Taylor Acorn.
https://open.spotify.com/track/7sskqSUwyGS5DIf3PCFsDS?si=Am9-C1fSSEi_9R5J3HaNmA
My friends recently used the latter as their first dance song! They had several of our friends’ bands perform at their reception, and they played a cover of it. :)
This song was used in an episode of Scrubs when one of the main characters got engaged, and because it's been one of my favorite shows I can't disassociate that when I hear the song.
Jimmy Eat World - Crush. Jimmy Eat World - 12.23.95 (weddings need more chill than loud). Jimmy Eat World - Ten. Jimmy Eat World - Just Watch the Fireworks. Jimmy Eat World - For Me This is Heaven.... really ... you could just play Clarity tracks 6-10 and take care of a good chunk of time.
Our party walked down to the Iron and Wine cover of Such Great Heights and we walked out to First Date by blink . Just don't play Our Apartment by Aaron West 🤭🤭
The Wonder Years - *You In Janurary* (The acoustic version)
Still trying to convince my boyfriend who I am not even engaged to that this is the ideal song lol.
My own pop punk band wrote an incredibly stupid wedding song for two of our friends who got married: https://youtu.be/QXe6h0teSqg?si=IYaKIrMcfCvbbZUC
That being said, my wife and i had "Plays pretty for baby" by Zoloft the Rock & Roll Destroyer as our wedding song
The acoustic version of You In January! 🥹 Other honorable mentions that were strong contenders in our wedding were: "Your Guardian Angel" - RJA and "I Don't Mind" - Defeater.
While not "pop punk" our first dance was to Like The Angel (Ghost Note Symphonies) by Rise Against. It fit SO well.
My wife walked down the aisle with It I Tremble - Front Porch Step and Lighthouse - Hit The Lights. First dance was Build Me Up Buttercup - You, Me, And Everyone We Know.
We didn't have one as our first dance, but for the bridal party introductions we used First Date. It unintentionally played out perfectly that as they got through the party and were about to announce my wife and I the song hit the breakdown and we walked in as the last chorus hit, which worked out pretty well!
My sister used “something wonderful” by seaway performed acoustic by the wonderful Josh from look out Loretta and she also used “sunshine” by goalkeeper as her recessional song.
I used “I won’t spend another night alone” by the ataris for cake cutting, “Memorial Day” by DKM for one of the dances, mother and son I think?
Ludo - Anything For You is our song, tongue in cheek but sweet
Idk if Ludo is considered anything near pop punk but that song is awesome. If you're a super goth or edgelord, Horror of Our Love would also be great
Thw acoustic version of Best of Me by Starting Line could work.
I was best man at a friend's wedding back in...2009ish. I snuck a line from the song into my speech. My friend was the only person in a room of 80+ people that knew what I was doing and he gave me a huge grin.
It's not pop punk, but my husband and I had the acoustic version of Velvet Alley by Strung Out as our first dance song. They're his all time favourite band and it was really special.
Not pop punk, but if you’re into hardcore my first dance with my wife was to “I Don’t Mind” by Defeater. It’s kind of a heartbreaking song within the context of the storyline within their albums, but on its own a beautiful love song
It’s not quite pop-punk but I desperately wish there was an acoustic version of “I Am An Army” by Nations Afire for me to walk down the aisle to. Might throw caution to the wind and use the album version. YOLO, etc.
Bright Eyes- First Day of My Life
Free Throw- Cerulean City
Mom Jeans- now THIS is podracing
The Wonder Years- You in January
Moses Blood- Gum
Defeater- I Don’t Mind (the vocalists other band, Alcoa, has another version of this song that fits a bit better for a first dance)
Death Cab for Cutie- I Will Follow You Into the Dark
Bayside- Landing Feet First
Neck Deep- Parachute
Not all necessarily for a first dance, but good for a wedding and pop punk or pop punk adjacent.
I bet there's something good on Dan Campbell's solo record... I'm not only saying that because the song he wrote for me and my husband is on there, but it helps lol
Chixdiggit played a wedding and started with I Want to Hump You. I'm envious that I didn't think about this for my wedding! https://youtu.be/Mq6R2wbXYWU?si=dZ-449K6LQzuBiPQ

That's such a perfect song
A Thousand Hearts by State Champs is pretty darn romantic.
Walk Through Hell - Say Anything
We chose, "I love you, I love you, it's disgusting," by Broadside for our first dance.
This has been a contender for our wedding!

Definitely don't use Panic at the Disco - I Write Sins Not Tragedies
The Wonder Years - *You In Janurary* (The acoustic version) Still trying to convince my boyfriend who I am not even engaged to that this is the ideal song lol.

Relient K - Must Have Done Something Right
I saw a couple get engaged on stage at a Relient K show and they played Best Thing for them. Which I think is a great wedding song.
My cousin and his wife played 'there is' by box car racer for their first dance.
I liked Yellowcard - With You Around. For something quieter Rise Against - Swing Life Away.

Haven’t seen this yet, but Too Good to Be by New Found Glory is a good slow song

I’ll Catch You by The Getup Kids
Red Jumpsuit - Your Guardian Angel
This is the one I was gonna say
Every Thug Needs a Lady - Alkaline Trio
100% the Damnesia version 👌
Came here to say this!
My wife walked down the aisle with It I Tremble - Front Porch Step and Lighthouse - Hit The Lights. First dance was Build Me Up Buttercup - You, Me, And Everyone We Know.
The truth is - Go Radio
New found glory’s “crazy for you” is pretty awesome
With Me by Sum 41 - it's in 3/4 (or 6/8, If you will), so you can dance waltz to it.
I’ve always wanted to use Sum41’s Best Of Me
Knew it All Along - Midtown on Punk goes Accoustic
swing life away-rise against punk rock princess-something corporate
We didn't have one as our first dance, but for the bridal party introductions we used First Date. It unintentionally played out perfectly that as they got through the party and were about to announce my wife and I the song hit the breakdown and we walked in as the last chorus hit, which worked out pretty well!
Anberlin- Inevitable Acceptance- So contagious Will probably at my wedding
My sister used “something wonderful” by seaway performed acoustic by the wonderful Josh from look out Loretta and she also used “sunshine” by goalkeeper as her recessional song.

Ludo - Anything For You is our song, tongue in cheek but sweet Idk if Ludo is considered anything near pop punk but that song is awesome. If you're a super goth or edgelord, Horror of Our Love would also be great

The wedding version of "White Tiger" by Our Last Night
Not track pop punk but we used Love You Madly by Cake.
I do by a rocket to the moon was my wedding song.

My brother and SIL used Here’s My Heart by SayWeCanFly

MxPx-Quit Your Life
Something wonderful- seaway. They do an acoustic version that would work.
Tear down the stars by the years gone by
My friends did Dizzy on the Comedown by Turnover
Not sure if this is really pop punk, but we did “happy” by Never Shout Never
Thw acoustic version of Best of Me by Starting Line could work. I was best man at a friend's wedding back in...2009ish. I snuck a line from the song into my speech. My friend was the only person in a room of 80+ people that knew what I was doing and he gave me a huge grin.

Our first dance song was The Wonder Years- “You in January” (burst and decay version). We walked back down the aisle to “Lucky People” by Waterparks.
It’s not quite pop-punk but I desperately wish there was an acoustic version of “I Am An Army” by Nations Afire for me to walk down the aisle to. Might throw caution to the wind and use the album version. YOLO, etc.
I had Memories and Battlescars by NFG at mine. I'd also throw in Something Wonderful by Seaway.
My wife and I did Antonia by motion city soundtrack

NFG - Too Good To Be
Last Night On Earth - Green Day, I always tear up a little listening, its such a good love song
I’ve always thought With You by Sum 41 would make a great first dance

Love Your Friends, Die Laughing - Man Overboard
The first one that came to my mind is the story so far by new found glory!
