Best Pearl Jam love song?

Long story short, I'm proposing to my girl this week and while we're hanging out I'm going to play a mix CD of bands that we've seen together in concert. One song per band. I've gotten most other songs down, but as an obsessed PJ fan I'm not sure which one to use (I'd use more PJ, but she's not as big a fan).

Ideas? Suggestions? Post your song titles in here...

    i would definitely say YES! to anyone (ok, not anyone) who played me "fuckin' up" or "lukin"... but if she's not a huge fan try the "throw your arms around me" cover... or even "guaranteed"... kinda melancholy, but hey... it works.

    You can bend it into a love song, if you want ... but it's really a lullaby for a baby (written for Jack Irons' newborn).

    If you try to make it a man-woman love song ... it comes off as sort of stalker-y.

    You Are

    It's a little more upbeat than a traditional love song, but the lyrics say it all. I am trying to convince a buddy of mine to play it acoustic at my wedding next summer.
