on a similar note, looking for a PJ song for our first dance at our wedding - am leaning towards 'throw your arms around me.'
would love other suggestions though! thanks!

I got married 3 years ago and thought about using song lyrics. But then I decided against it. I wanted to use my own words, because no one else can describe how I feel about my wife as well as I can.
Also, to the person who suggested using "Better Man" - that song is not a flattering picture of the man. Not a love song.
And, to the person who suggested using "Throw Your Arms Around Me" - that song is about one night stands. For example - "And we may never meet again, So shed your skin lets get started." Probably not the best song for wedding vows.

I actually do not think of Throw Your Arms Around Me as a one night stand song....maybe a first love song though.
My wife and I had our first dance at the wedding to "Thin Air" which really confused the grandparents but our friends loved it. It’s a beautiful song that Stone wrote, and as a wedding gift my sister bought us one of those "Star Registries" and named it "Thin Air." If anyone knows Stone, tell him there's a legit star in the heavens named after a song he wrote. I've got the coordinates if any one ever wants to pretend that they know how to find it.
Some good lines for the vows:
There's a light when my babies in my arms
It's not in my past to presume.
Love can keep on moving in both directions.
How to be happy and true is the quest we're taking on together.
"WE'RE UH, WE'RE GONNA DO THIS ONE WHICH IS UH, CERTAINLY NOT A USUAL ONE, AND THEN UH, JUST TAKE A FEW MORE MINUTES, THEN UH, AND THEN WE'RE GONNA DO OUR BEST TO KEEP TOM PETTY AND THE HEARTBREAKERS AWAKE FR..." (cheering at intro)...
I'm glad there's already plenty of people discouraging this terrible idea. We all love PJ, but don't taint your wedding with your fandom. If there was something that spoke to you enough about how you felt about your wife you would already know it and wouldn't have to ask. Trying to squeeze some PJ into a sacred event is lame.
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off so critical or sound mean. I'm sure youre not lame. The reception is a good place to work in some PJ songs!

come back.
song lyrics
man up and write your own

Not sure if women like cursing in wedding vowels. Or ministers for that matter
I wave to all my Friends... Yeah!
'cause sooner or later, someone's gonna lose someone ... sigh.
I would paraphrase to "I was but a stone, your light makes me a star."
but uh, yeah, what he said, MAN UP AND WRITE SOMETHING FROM THE HEART!
All five horizons revolve
around your soul,
as the earth to the sun
And if you forget all,
just remember you are everything
and everything is you,
Just be darling and we
will all be faithful to you
Don’t it just make you smile?
Don’t you know you make us smile?
From Thin Air:
To be happy and true
is the quest we're taking on together
but you can't beat Throw Your Arms Around Me

I am the better man
when i look to leave her
I always stagger back again
Once I built an ivory tower
so I could worship from above
when I climb down to be set free
she took me in again
farther out to the one side, swinging
has to sweep back the other way
i can see me telling my girlfriend that i wanted to use pearl jam lyrics in my wedding vows....
hahahahahahahahahahaha...................
she would spend the next 20 minutes beating the fuck out of me with a baseball bat....
and i would deserve it....
Till there aint nothing left worth taking away from me.....
no wait
Don't even think about reaching me. I won't be home.
Don't even think about stopping by. Don't think of me at all.
NO....
Let's pick up your will,... it's grown fat and lazy
I'm sympathetic as well,... don't go on me now
And I'm not living this life without you, I'm selfish and clear
nah
If nothing is everything
If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
If nothing is everything
If nothing is everything, I'll have it all
heh,nope
oh well. sorry!
"Just be darling and I will be too
Faithful to you"
what a different life had I not found this love with you.
genius!!
"I gather speed from you fucking me."
Could work.
