Lyr Req: Wedding Songs & Happy Love Songs?

Hello!

I have been asked to play a few weddings this summer, and am madly searching for some traditional or folk songs that might be appropriate for the occasion! (Seems like most of the love songs I know are about broken hearts, sad farewells or they end in death!)

I am an Appalachian musician, but would be happy to hear of suggestions from the folk music world, or Celtic traditional songs that would do the trick!

Thanks so very much!

When my husband and I got married 13 years ago yesterday a friend sang 7 Wishes and he also sang Bramble and the Rose.

Copper Family's "Come Write Me Down" ~~ which may be what Saul means by its alternative name "The Wedding Song", but I repeat here just in case there is another one of the same name.

You said Traditional or folk, so I assume you're accepting singersongwriter songs

I agree with saulgoldie's suggestions, and add
