Wow!
Nice to see you here again!

Yeah, I've been vetoing any suggestions I think are too generic, like "Can't Help Falling in Love." The whole point is for it to be a memorable dance and people are a lot less likely to remember it if we dance to a song everybody already associates with weddings.

A Hard Day's Night would probably be perfectly fitting for a wedding song for you and your fiance. You certainly wouldn't have to worry about it being too generic.

You have veto power? Marry her NOW and have the ceremony later. Anyway, give "I've Got Your Love" a listen. It's a great song, written by Scaggs, and it hasn't been covered to my knowledge. Lisa asked me to help pick out a first dance song because ever since she was a kid she and her sister would come to our house and listen to music. They lived just down the road, and their parents only had country&western around.

I probably contributed at least a little bit to Boz Scaggs' royalty earnings, because Lisa said "everybody" at the reception wanted to know where to find that song. He is ubiquitous (a real journeyman) but under-appreciated. Get his "Come On Home" CD in any case. If you and your lady don't fall for the song, you'll at least enjoy the rest of the CD. My wife and I saw him and his band, Fleetwood Mac, and the Eagles at the Foxboro stadium in the '70s, and though he was the lowly "opening act" he stole the show. Killer!
