A rustic country wedding calls for a playlist to match. While country songs have been known to get caught up in the achy breaky business of drinkin', cheatin', and lyin', plenty of artists from Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton to Garth Brooks and Carrie Underwood have belted out ballads worthy of your big day. We listed some of our favorites for every moment along the way, from getting ready to the ceremony and from the first dance to the last.
