There are some verses in the Irish Girl that would be good for a wedding, just leave out the sad verses (my love has gone and left me, etc).

The little shoes this maiden wore, they were the Spanish brand
And the mantle on her shoulder, with silk was wrought all round
But her gentle face and her modest ways could your heart with longing pain.
I would rove the whole world over, the Irish Girl to gain.

I wish I was a butterfly, I'd light on my love's breast
I wish I was a nightengale, I'd sing my love to rest.
I'd sing at morn, I'd sing at eve, a love song soft and slow.
And year by year, I'd love my dear, let the wind blow high or low.
