PJ Wedding Song

So as I was at my cousin's wedding last weekend and as they signed the register, they had a singer do a version of 'Real Love', accompanied only by a piano. It got me thinking - what PJ song would do well in that situation? What would any of you guys choose?

    Someone paid the DJ to play Alive second to last song at my wedding - despite the hand selected PJ free set list & request for no requests.

    Some excellent stories and experiences here (and some excellently cynical suggestions!) - thanks for sharing!

    Sounds great. We got married on a beach too - in Greece though, cos Scottish beaches are usually cold! We had Nick Cave - Breathless.

    Only semi related but my eldest daughter got married last May and surprised me by having the DJ play EV's "Skipping" for the father/daughter dance. It was a teary eyed 3 minutes and 46 seconds for the old man....

    We used "Longing to Belong" for our first dance. And of course the last song of the night was Yellow Ledbetter...perfect ending.

    The wife and I walked out to Eds version of hide your love away and our first dance was to thin air.
