Ours is Lionel Ritchies " Still," though there are a lot I identify with depending on what phase we were in.

[“I Knew I Loved You” by Savage Garden](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jjnmICxvoVY). Corney as hell, but I like it. It was our first dance song at our wedding too.

[spoiler]Maybe it’s intuition  
But some things you just don’t question  
Like in your eyes, I see my future in an instant  
And there it goes,  
I think I found my best friend  
I know that it might sound  
More than a little crazy  
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you  
I think I dreamed you into life  
I knew I loved you before I met you  
I have been waiting all my life

There’s just no rhyme or reason  
Only the sense of completion  
And in your eyes, I see  
The missing pieces I’m searching for  
I think I’ve found my way home  
I know that it might sound  
More than a little crazy  
But I believe

I knew I loved you before I met you  
I think I dreamed you into life  
I knew I loved you before I met you  
I have been waiting all my life

A thousand angels dance around you  
I am complete now that I’ve found you

I knew I loved you before I met you  
I think I dreamed you into life  
I knew I loved you before I met you  
I have been waiting all my life

I knew I loved you before I met you  
I think I dreamed you into life  
I knew I loved you before I met you  
I have been waiting all my life[/spoiler]

We don’t have one. Come to think of it, I’ve never had a “song” with any of my previous SOs, either. I think I’m romantically challenged :D.

Don’t have one. I had to make something up for that part of the wedding reception.

Don’t worry baby and/or God only knows by the Beach Boys. I always request those songs at every wedding we go to so we can have a nice slow dance.

Or alternatively the best sentiment in all of popular music:

[Ben E King’s Stand by Me](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H9kyGMvfZqo)

What an awesome lyric:

When the night has come  
And the land is dark  
And the moon is the only light we’ll see  
No I won’t be afraid, no I won’t be afraid  
Just as long as you stand, stand by me

And darlin’, darlin’, stand by me, oh now now stand by me  
Stand by me, stand by me

Ha, I just sprung the question on my other half who failed to remember the name of the song or the artist, and described it as “the one with the bloke singing”. That sure narrowed it down!

Our wedding song was “Come Rain or Come Shine” done by Eric Clapton & B.B King, but I’m not sure I can call it our song, since I’d never heard it until we started planning the wedding.

The closest thing to “our song” is probably Weird Al’s “Yoda,” because it’s the first song my husband ever played for me, over Skype, while we were still long-distance and he was hoping to win me over. He tried to impress a girl with a Weird Al song. And he did. That’s us, in a nutshell.

“One More Minute” by Weird Al Yankovic. We even had it played at our daughter’s wedding. You should have heard some of the comments from the groom’s side of the family. Our side of the family understood.
