I'm as mushy-gooshy romantic as they come, but I like to think I have a little bit of edge in me. So even though I love saccharine songs like Big & Rich's "Lost in this Moment" and Etta James' "At Last," I want music with a little more pep and seasoning for my day...for example, I'll be walking down the aisle to Guns 'N' Roses' "Sweet Child of Mine," which my mom used to sing to me as a baby and which has an awesome intro to catch people's attention. Now, I know a lot of my savvy couples have too much personality to stick to "Here Comes the Bride" and "Canon in D." (Incidentally, I am so sick and tired of Canon in D...long story, but suffice it to say that any orchestra dork would sympathise.)

So, how about love songs that maybe you wouldn't think of at first?
