My friend had There Is A Light That Never Goes Out for her first dance.

We had The Proclaimers 500 Miles as our second dance.

Wake up and make love with me - Ian Dury. Was listening to this recently and thought it would be a blinder at a wedding.

Did not know this was a thing!

I'd have lovely music at the service and leave it at that.
