What about Reservations by Wilco? What do people think of that?

In terms of slow/lovey-dovey songs, you can't go wrong with Etta James' "At Last." Classy, romantic, and (in my opinion) still never hackneyed.
And if you want a U2 song, go with something less obvious, like "The First Time" or "Luminous Times" or "Walk to the Water" or "Always." Think of how fun "Always" would be at a wedding! "This is the moment that we share, for always..."

That's such a beautiful song!

Speaking of Jeff Buckley, what about his cover of "Twelfth of Never"? That's a real tear-jerker for me.

There are numerous versions, a really georgous Orchestral version on the ENZSO CD as well... Lyrically, Muscially... perfect.

I've also always seen U2's "In A Little While" as a love song, so perhaps that'll work, too?
