    We had "Can I have this dance for the rest of my life" Anne Murray

    Was appropriate for us, but I know we are dinosaurs now.

    How about:

    This was our parents song too. They'd dance to this number at all their anniversary parties. Awww

    I apologise in advance ... I watched, "Me before you" ( my sister's choice) over the weekend, and I can't seem to get this Ed Sheeran number separated from anything wedding/marriage lovey dovey toned. How you both perceive and dance to any song can portray quirkiness.

    Or something like this. Add swing steps, with a little samba/swing.

    That was my song too, 24 years ago. My ex could not remember it when my daughter asked him last year.

    I love this song now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EkHTsc9PU2A

    I do love this song but I think every wedding in the past year has used this one.

    2017 weddings ... A toss up between Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars and Beyonce. It's an oldie but a goodie song like your "Baby I'm yours" by Arctic Monkeys ... A throwback to the Original way in the day before the remake.


    ETA: @OP ... Wedding male band - They usually present couples with their song lists and can cover many genres. Have you listened to their available numbers.

    Why not @Pink's "True love" If that is how you 2 communicate love to each other. How about just playing the song from your phone attached to a speaker, if a DJ isn't part if your wedding budget. You could even have rose petals bins around the dance area where you can both dance around and throw it at each other, like the video. Guests can join in and throw them at you both as you pass by.
