Personally, I'd like to have this song for the very last dance at my wedding reception some day. A wedding is a day on which a lot of vows are made which will almost certainly be broken at some point, given our frail humanity. I mean, honestly, "for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, in sickness and in health, to love and to cherish, till death do us part"? That's a lot to live up to and I'd imagine almost everyone fails to in some small way each day of their lives, even when couples "remain faithful" to each other in the sense of not committing adultery. And when those promises fail, or rather when we fail the promises, the only thing left is us in our frail humanity. When two people can continue to embrace each other in those circumstances, that's likely as close as they'll get to divine love in this life. Having never been married I have no idea what it's like to live that kind of love day in and day out, but when I hear this song I always think of how much I want to.
I just wanted to tell you that I DID have this song as the "closing song" at my wedding. Just my husband and I danced, it was the most special moment of the day. As for the vows... well we wrote our own, because we didn't want to make promises to each other that #1 we couldn't keep, and #2 we didn't believe in. We have been together for nearly 8 years and are expecting our first child... it is fantastic!

I talked my hubby in2 having this as our 1st dance an every1 seemed 2 think it strange at 1st, but then on the day when it was just the 2 of us dancing nearly every1 said it was a perfect choice. That was 7 years ago an I still get goosebumps now when I hear it. Our last dance was very appropriately Loch Lomond (we got married on top of a tower over looking Loch Lomond)an with most weddings in Scotland the finale was Auld Lang Syne. Which makes me bawl like a baby every time, but totally perfect!
