I don't want to think that far ahead, but a song I like is Herb Alpert's This Guy's In Love With You. Let's pretend it's going to be played at my wedding instead.

I’d like to go all melodramatic and have Vide cor Meum by Patrick Cassidy from Kingdom Of Heaven. It’s also in another Ridley Scott movie, Hannibal. It’s an operatic piece and absolutely amazing. Obviously Ridley Scott thinks so, too..
