Just a few - Canon was what I walked down the aisle too (1 violin)
Name is one of the first songs my husband and I call "ours" the rest (of the ones I love) are just great
You are so Beautiful is what my husband sings to me

Queensryche and Howard Jones together in the same list. Who'd a thunk it?

Nice list, though. Very eclectic.

Cheers,
