(I hate) Everything about you - Ugly Kid Joe .... No i'm not joking.. I love my wife..
I am not married, but my girlfriend loves Billy Joel and this song in particular, so it would either be this or Forever Girl by Tony Scalzo (remember Fastball?).
We have two actually (we go back a long way!):
Rock and Roll Woman by Buffalo Springfield
Something by George Harrison.

How about "I'd Rather Be With You" by Bootsy Collins? 
"I'm comin' at ya' with both hands...tied behind my back, baby. You got me, I'm comin' at ya'...get ready"
Idk, "When We Get Married" by Larry Graham?

"YYZ". Just kidding. I honestly can't remember which song we first danced to at our wedding. I know we danced to "Sara Smile" at some point (the band graciously learned it at my request). "What a Wonderful World" is kind our song though. An old school accordion/vocalist duo played it at our table during our first date.

Given that we knew each other and were friends for 25 years before we got married, this seemed appropriate:
i had a funny situation...well, now it seems funny.
we were supposed to dance to "forever" by ben harper but i forgot to burn it on the CD!!!
so we quickly switched to Nina Simone's cover of "here comes the sun"
still beautiful but not what we planned...

Only You (And You Alone) by The Platters was our wedding song. As far as reception music is concerned, I was able to sneak It's Love by King's X into the mix...
Already have "Everywhere I Go" off of Faith Hope Lovein my mix for the evening!!!
My bride came down the aisle to "The Boy I'm Gonna Marry." (In 2013--she's young, but appreciates old-school stuff.) Our recessional was "Signed, Sealed, Delivered."
Our first dance was Dylan's "Make You Feel My Love", as sung by Adele. My wife and her dad danced to "Just Fishin'" by Alan Jackson. My mom and I picked "What a Wonderful World" (Satchmo's version, of course.) She originally wanted "You Are My Sunshine", as she sang part of that frequently when my brother and I were kids. But I checked out the rest of the lyrics--man, does that song get depressing!
We also picked songs for the DJ to play when it was each table's turn to go up to the buffet*; my wife made up a centerpiece for each table which included a small placard with the song title and picture of the artist(s). They included the Alabama Shakes' "I Found Someone" and Conway Twitty and Loretta Lynn's "You're The Reason Our Kids Are Ugly."
*I'm normally not a fan of buffets, but this venue did a great job.
Although we had a DJ at the reception, it was a wedding gift from my wife's aunt and uncle. And we had live music at the party the night before, including a version of my current band and a version of my old band from college. It was so much fun.
