When we got married we didn't have an evening "do" for several reasons. I was always going to have an anniversary party after 10 years and have the evening bit of our wedding.....we've now been married 14 years, and it's looking like I'm never going to have one. There is always something more important to spend the money on (like feeding and clothing the DC, lol!)
So if you had one what was it? (YouTube link appreciated) so I can copy you if I ever have my fantasy party or if you didn't have one/never will - do you feel sad like me? Or should I pull myself together?
Time after time - Cyndi Lauper.

Texas, Put Your Arms Around Me.
If we had an anniversary party, I'd have Nick Cave, Into Your Arms.
Or perhaps You're Still the One, Leanne Rhymes was it? For the lyrics.
DH might have other ideas.
Didn't have one and I certainly wouldn't have one if I was marrying again now, it was bad enough being the centre of attention during the day without it going on into the evening. DH can't stand dancing so he didn't want one either. We just had a jazz quartet playing in the background, no dancing at all.
I'm not saying pull yourself together at all though, just that it means different things to different people. If this is something you feel you missed out on theres no harm in dreaming and maybe you will get your party one day.
We had "When I see you smile" by Bic Runga - we'd seen her a few times, loved the words ... and it is quite short (felt like forever when you're in front of everyone though)

Every Day I Love You by Boyzone. Beautiful soppy slow dance song. Still makes me cry a bit 
Kind of wish we'd practiced a bit first though, it was a bit embarrassing shuffling around in front of everyone.

Our first dance was Marvin Gaye Let's Get It On - to my uncle's eternal embarrassment. We were pretty drunk by that stage. DH may have seductively started taking his tie off I COULDN'T POSSIBLY SAY
'I can hear music' by the Beach Boys should have been my wedding music. I only remembered it existed 6 months later!

We had 'The Wedding Song' by Bob Dylan. We had a live band so they speeded it up a bit, and it wasn't easy to dance to but everyone at the reception joined us on the dance floor after the first couple of minutes and it was fabulous, one of my happiest memories of the day. Followed by 'Smooth' by Santana and, erm, someone else

I didn't get to choose the song. As soon as the person arranging the music asked us, Dh leapt in with has choice! Eric Clapton - wonderful tonight.

Not a common choice, but lyrics all about marriage, apparently, and it had memories for us...

Happy Together by The Turtles. Really not puke inducing like I found a lot of suggestions. My DH had originally wanted A Whole New World!!! 
"Something Changed" by Pulp but the song that both DH and I really love and we would always request when we went out dancing as students was "The Man Don't Give A F***" by the Super Furry Animals. If we had had this as our first dance my Mum would probably have disowned me!
