I'm on the left. The bride is in white.

Over the weekend I served as Maid of Honor at my sister’s beautiful wedding by the sea in Gloucester, Massachusetts. Pre-wedding I was tasked with compiling a slide-show of photos of the happy couple, from baby pictures to engagement photos…. a daunting task. And not just because my sister is unusually snap-happy with her camera, but because I also had to choose the music.

I scoured my iTunes and found little that was appropriate for a wedding. My first instinct was to use The Temper Trap’s “Sweet Disposition,” one of the most gorgeous songs I know:

But it turned out not to be long enough. I settled on Arcade Fire’s “Neighborhood #1 (Tunnels)” because the beat fit the quick pace of the photos and it’s nearly 5 minutes long. Plus, it IS about falling in love and having babies and growing old, right?

This process got me thinking about alternative wedding songs. My sister and her husband chose Beyonce’s “Crazy in Love” and Van Morrison’s “Crazy Love” as their entrance and first dance songs, both atypical and inspired choices, I thought.

But what is the discerning music fan to do? What romantic non-obvious wedding songs are out there? Here’s the (admittedly short) list I came up with:

• Band of Horses “Marry Song”
• The Beach Boys “God Only Knows”
• Guillemots “Made Up Love Song #43″
• Old 97’s “Question” (ok, this one’s a little obvious, but I love Rhett Miller)
• The Cure “Just Like Heaven”
• Rogue Wave “Maps” (Yeah Yeah Yeahs cover)
• Ben Folds “The Luckiest”

What am I missing?
