With an indie slant? Suitable for a wedding, so little/no cursing or graphic imagery.

Tom Waits' Picture in a Frame was our wedding song. Surprisingly, people liked it.

The Magetic Fields- Its only time

This ones perfect for a wedding since its about marriage. Here are the lyrics,

Why would I stop loving you
a hundred years from now?
It's only time.
It's only time.

What could stop this beating heart
once it's made a vow?
It's only time.
It's only time.

If rain won't change your mind,
let it fall.
The rain won't change my heart
at all.

Lock this chain
around my hand,
throw away the key.
It's only time.
It's only time.

Years falling
like grains of sand
mean nothing to me.
It's only time.
It's only time.

If snow won't change your mind
let it fall.
The snow won't change my heart,
not at all.

(I'll walk your lands)
I'll walk your lands
(And swim your sea)
And swim your sea

Marry me.
Marry me.

(Then in your hands)
Then in your hands
(I will be free)
I will be free

Marry me.
Marry me.

Why would I stop loving you
a hundred years from now?

Let's Active - "Fell"

Nothing is easy, some things take time
Thinking about you, seems like you've turned inside
Walking the same road and kicking over stones
I had a dream where I saw you
I hope it goes on and on

'Cause I am, I am the one for you
I know you better than you do
You fell from a cloud and I loved you

Now all I want to do is ask it
Do you love me, yes you do
You give me 100,000 reasons to tell you I do too
I am never here, I'm never fine
I always expect the end
That was what was time and after time
Dream about a place to begin

edit: this one is so good to me, I gotta post it:

Jonathan Richman - "You're the One For Me"
If you didn't want me you shouldn't have been born
That started all the trouble now the damage been done
You never should have been born
Cuz now you're the one for me

And if you didn't want me to follow you around
You never should have showed up around my town
You never should have come to town
Cuz now you're the one for me

And it's too late cuz now you're stuck with me
Better give up, it's me you choose
I Say "Ha ha ha ha, it's me, you lose."
It's to late cuz now my minds is set
You better give up because I won't forget
That could never never be
Well you're the one for me
Oh babe, oh honey
It's just too late
You're the one for me

If you didn't want me you shouldn't have been born
And we never should have met that morn
We never should have met
Cuz now you're the one for me
And if you didn't want me to want you this way
Well you never should have seen my rock n roll band play
You never should have seen the Lovers play
Cuz now you're the one for me.

And it's too late cuz now you're stuck with me
Better give up, it's me you choose
I Say "Ha ha ha ha, it's me, you lose."
It's to late cuz now my minds is set
You better give up because I won't forget
That could never never be
Well you're the one for me
Oh babe, oh honey
It's just too late
You're the one for me
You're the one for me
You're the one, you're the one
You're the one, it's too late
You're the one

Wow...a whole thread on love songs and no Jeff Buckley?

Jeff Buckley - Lover, You Should Have Come Over
The Decemberists - Here I Dreamt I Was An Architect
The Velvet Underground - Pale Blue Eyes
Low - Closer

and of course, you can't forget "Maps." :roll:

EDIT: Though I did forget about half the song on The Concretes s/t, primarlily "This One's For You", "Warm Night" and "Chico"...
