Damn! I thought this was going to be a nice thread about the song that sent you and your Mrs. into perpetual happiness.
Well, since "perpetual happiness" is a fallacy, I'll just give ya the song we danced to:
George Strait: "I Cross My Heart"
Peace

Guess there's a large divorced/never been married contingency here.
Good buddy of mine danced to Thank You by Zeppelin. It worked for them.

We had a destination wedding (Hawaii) so no song officially. But we had a video and they had my wife and I slow dance on the beach. They tracked the video with "Come Away with Me" by Nora Jones and "Somewhere Over the Rainbow/Wonderful World" by Iz. It actually came out pretty cool. I would have gone with "You Shook Me" by AC/DC but say la vie.

Exactly.
My wife and I didn't have a wedding reception. We didn't want to spend a ton of money entertaining relatives we didn't know and acquaintances we saw once a year. So we used the reception money for our honeymoon instead. Very memorable - a much better use of resources.
What's the point of having a wedding song anyway? Do couples really sit around and reminisce about crap like that? Like, "Honey, I remember our wedding day, and how beautiful you looked. And how that cheesy DJ introduced us to Faithfully by Journey. That was the most amazing moment of my life!"
Try to talk some sense into her.

We hired a band that only had two slow songs on their play list. Went with Percy Sledge:
The band was TC & the Cats, and R&B band that used to play at the Short North Tavern. We were married in 1992, btw.

Funny thing about all of this is that my wife and I paid for our own reception and kept the cost quite reasonable, as well as, the guest list. Had the in-laws paid for it as was the tradition back then it would have been 300 of their closest friends and a Polka Band.....I went to enough of those when the other members of her family got married to last a lifetime....

Sounds kind of selfish, honestly. We looked at our wedding as the bringing together of two families, a celebration of our commitment, and a huge (open bar) party for everyone we cared about. We and our guests still do talk about what a great day that was. We paid for most of it ourselves, and I don 't miss a penny of it : there's always more money in life, but only limited time to spend with family and friends. And oh yeah, we still use our wedding presents every day.
As for the song/dance, my wife and I both hate dancing, but anyone can slow-dance, plus hey, it's tradition. You can try to prove a point, or you can spend a few minutes alone on the dance floor with the one you love. And for us, our song had a lot of meaning for us, so it just worked.
Then we spent a bunch more money on an amazing two-week honeymoon in France and Italy, and that was even better.
