Location: Jet City | Elvis is usually heard at weddings, and for some reason, I usually hear Brick House (Commodores) played ay most.
Which leads me to... you gotta have some dance/upbeat stuff. I have the playlist from Zach's wedding if you want me to fwd. The kids picked the songs

Sorry. I was just picturing Mark (or many of us, really) playing "Brick House" solo on an acoustic guitar....

Location: Boise, Idaho | What? You can't picture me with a 'Fro, vest, an bell bottoms? My wife might be able to find some blackmail pictures of the singing group I was in during college. It was more Up With People than Commodores, but the outfits weren't much different.
Damon, I think I'll be limited to one song and the rest of the music will be played by a DJ in his 20s, so the playlist will probably be much younger than you, even. I've been looking at lists of the most popular wedding songs for the last few years and lots of them are worse than some of the suggestions on this thread. |

Loudest one for me was Robin Trower in a Seattle club. I was in a R and B band that opened for him and had to listen from outside as the paint peeled off the walls. His roadies stole our rhythm guitarist's black face fender deluxe when they found him passed out with bleeding ears backstage..... or something like that, only a fool would go back inside.
For a wedding how about a Irish Traditional tune like Bungle Rye?
Now Jack was a sailor who roamed on the town
And she was a damsel who skipped up and down
Said the damsel to Jack as she passed him by
Would you care for to purchase some
Quare bungle rye roddy rye?
Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye
Thought Jack to himself, "Now what can this be?
But the finest of whiskey from far Germany
Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly
And the name that it goes by is
Quare bungle rye roddy rye?
Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye"
Jack gave her a pound and he thought nothing strange
Said she, "Hold the basket till I get you your change"
Jack looked in the basket and a baby did spy
Oh, Begorrah, said Jack, this is
Quare bungle rye roddy rye?
Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye
Now to get the child christened was Jack's first intent
For to get the child christened, to the parson he went
Says the parson to Jack, "What will he go by?"
Begorrah, says Jack, Call him
Quare bungle rye roddy rye?
Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye
Said the parson to Jack, "That's a mighty queer name"
Says Jack to the parson, "It's a queer way he came
Smuggled up in a basket and sold on the sly
And the name that he'll go by is
Quare bungle rye roddy rye?
Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye
Now all you young sailors who roam on the town
Beware of those damsels who skip up and down
Take a look in their basket as they pass you by
Or else they may sell you some
Quare bungle rye roddy rye?
Fol the diddle rye roddy rye roddy rye |

Location: Hot Springs, S.D. | I still think "Since You've Asked" is the best wedding song. The last bit says it all.
What I'll give you since you've asked
Is all my time together
Take the rugged sunny days
The warm and Rocky weather
Take the roads
That I have walked along
Looking for tomorrow's time
Peace of mind
As my life spills into yours
Changing with the hours
Filling up the world with time
Turning time to flowers
I can show you all the songs
That I never sang
To one man before
We have seen a million stones
Lying by the water
You have climbed the hills with me
To the mountain shelter
Taken off the days
One by one
Setting them to breathe
In the sun
Take the lilies and the lace
From the days of childhood
All the willow winding paths
Leading up and outward
This is what I give
This is what I ask you for
Nothing more |

Location: Flahdaw | Yes, Alison. I played that at my friend's wedding and it fit perfectly (I also played The Wedding Song, but it's so overdone)
Another nice one I played at a wedding is "You And I", by Stevie Wonder https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7oxc-UtUFE I only played verse #1 tho.
Here we are on earth together,
It's you and I,
God has made us fall in love, it's true,
I've really found someone like you
Will it say the love you feel for me, will it say,
That you will be by my side
To see me through,
Until my life is through
Well, in my mind, we can conquer the world,
In love you and I, you and I, you and I
