My favorite for a wedding is: "Fields of Gold by Sting"
It is the song Michelle Kwan skated to when she lost the gold in the last Winter Olympics (but had expected a win...thus the gold theme and her costume too)...
But the music is so beautiful and sticks with you forever after you hear it.....
I think some of the music sites can give you a sample.....The lyrics can be read here:

FIELDS OF GOLD
Sting
(Ten Summoner's Tale)
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we walk in fields of gold
So she took her love for to gaze awhile
Upon the fields of barley
In his arms she fell as her hair came down
Among the fields of gold
Will you stay with me, will you be my love
Among the fields of barley?
We'll forget the sun in his jealous sky
As we lie in fields of gold
See the west wind move like a lover so
Upon the fields of barley
Feel her body rise when you kiss her mouth
Among the fields of gold
I never made promises lightly
And there have been some that I've broken
But I swear in the days still left
We'll walk in fields of gold
We'll walk in fields of gold
Many years have passed since those summer days
Among the fields of barley
See the children run as the sun goes down
Among the fields of gold
You'll remember me when the west wind moves
Upon the fields of barley
You can tell the sun in his jealous sky
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
When we walked in fields of gold
). But my parent's did contribute cash as a gift so, technically you could say they paid for some of it and I chose where to spend it. You might try dropping hints that you would like a certain kind of wedding but can only afford a different kind. If you are into subtlties of this kind.
