Most Awesome Wedding Songs Ever
By 
Introduction
When my fiance and I decided to cheap out on music for our wedding, load it all into my laptop, and borrow a friend's speakers, we also plunged straight into the world of "no, really, is this song romantic or secretly psychotic?"
1
Passenger Seat, Death Cab for Cutie
Too slow for a first dance, too quiet to play mid-reception, but the perfect processional.
2
You've Got to Hide Your Love Away, The Beatles
From title alone, not too romantic. OK, from lyrics alone, kind of pushing it too. But "Hey! You've got to HIDE your love away" is one of the best sing-alongs ever.
3
Sexual Healing, Marvin Gaye (or Shaggy Remix)
So dang sexy. Nuff said.
4
The Luckiest, Ben Folds Five
Romantic, beautiful, just this side of weird. Perfect.
5
In My Life, The Beatles
Almost impossible to dance to, but aww.
6
In Your Eyes, Peter Gabriel
You might be surrendering your dream of marrying Lloyd Dobler (or Diane Court). Doesn't mean the song doesn't still rock.
7
Mintcar, The Cure
Who knew Robert Smith could sound so joyful?
8
You Are The Everything, R.E.M.
OK, the "with your teeth in your mouth" line is weird, and a song about how scary the world is might not be an obvious choice. Still, a delicate, aching kind of song.
9
Crazy in Love, Beyonce w/ Jay-Z
Every reception needs songs that you just have to dance to, or at least sing along to ...
10
Get Low, Lil' Jon and the Eastside Boyz
... and one song that makes the parents say "wait, did he just say 'balls'?"
11
Time After Time, Cyndi Lauper
If you're really ambitious, recreate the "Strictly Ballroom" scene that used this song. Otherwise ... it's just kind of perfect.
