Your wedding song, first dance etc

My first suggestion was "Run To The Hills"...I got the frowny face...

We plan on Swing Dancing to Rock This Town by Brian Setzer as our "first dance" at the reception. Our reception is going to be very upbeat and lively. It is going to be themed as an 80's high school dance with some slight nods to the 16 Candles/Breakfast Club vibe. We are even playing "Stairway" at Midnight to end it.

Our "love" song is "Hand On Heart" by Queensryche, which will be played during the night, but not as our official dance song...

My wife and I went to the county clerks office and got the license, they finalized it there without a ceremony as that was an option. We got in the car and the song playing on the radio was Tool's 46 and 2. It's always had a special place in our hearts every since. I guess it could have been The Break Up Song by Greg Kihn. It was all by chance, so 46 and 2 it is.
 
My brother and sister played/sang Lucky by Jason Mraz for us. It was a nice way to include them in the wedding party and have the song we wanted. The tables all had paper roses that we made out of the song's sheet music.
