I'm a believer. The Smash Mouth version from Shrek. Husband is a Disney fanatic since working there in his early twenties but I actually picked the song (he did stick a Disney trip in to the honeymoon,a month travelling around California ending in LA and Disney).

Romeo and Juliet - Dire Straits

Yes I know it is about a prostitute but we listened to Dire Straits so much early on in our relationship and that is one of our favourite songs.

I ended up not having one but what i would have had is If I should fall behind by Bruce Springsteen.

We had this! Fantastic song.

We married in 1999 and I wanted Truly, Madly, Deeply by Savage Garden/ Love is All around by WWW or Love is in the air, DH wanted Nothing else matters by Metallica. Our DJ was a radio dj and personal friend and in our experience he owned every record ever released...We agreed to just decide on the night but when we asked at the reception he didn't have any of the above with him!! We ended up having an Eric Clapton song neither of us can really remember and we aren't even Clapton fans. Paranoid was our second dance though and everybody got up and headbanged with us so that was cool! We laugh about it now but we really regret not choosing something definite beforehand and letting our Dj know.
