    I'm getting married next month, and I'm looking for alternative love songs for a few specific moments. I've read some lists online but there's always too much country or Wonderwall on them.
    Our first dance is Come Away With Me by Norah Jones, and I'll Catch You by TGUK will be another slow dance song, but now I'm looking for some other good alt/classic pop punk/indie love songs for things like cake cutting, mother-daughter dance, and other dances throughout the night.

    Thanks!

    The only "love" songs we played at our wedding were straight after the ceremony and were:

    Storybook Love - Mark Knopfler
    My Favourite Thing - Silverchair
    Of Crows and Crowns - Dustin Kensrue
    Didn't Have You - Tim Minchin
    Pistol - Dustin Kensrue
    Days Like This - Van Morrison
    By Your Side - Daniel Johns (Silverchair)
    Lover of the Light - Mumford & Sons
    Never Tear Us Apart - INXS

    Here’s some from my wedding playlist (most of which are fun and we used as background music during the dinner):

    Cadence - Anberlin
    Angels - the xx
    No Need For Dreaming - MisterWives
    Picture - MuteMath
    Sidekick - WALK THE MOON
    Pretend - Paper Route
    Out Of My League - Fitz and the Tantrums

    Hooray!

    You are great, man :3

    As an alternative, you could ask your friends who are friendly with musical instruments to help you in this. I think, that original musical background is something you could really remember with your beloved.

    On my wedding I asked a wedding band to accompany me and my wife Sara. It was one of those moments when you for real are ready to save the music and first kiss of your wife in your heart. As I did so :3

    Can’t go wrong with Lovesong by The Cure. There’s also plenty of covers of it if you’re looking for slightly different vibes. Kevin Devine’s is solid
