Songs for our Wedding Video - Suggestions Needed!

Hello all! I need to have all my songs and photographs chosen by next week, so I'm looking for ideas. We need to chose five songs. I know we'll use our wedding song (Nat King Cole - Our Love is Here to Stay) for the recap... One down, Four to Go!!! LOL

Some ideas:
It Had To Be You (Harry Connick)
Baby I Love You (Ronettes)
The Way You Look Tonight (Frank Sinatra)
What a Wonderful World (Louis Armstrong)
From This Moment (Shania Twain)
That Sunday, That Summer (Nat King Cole)

I'm looking for songs that aren't overly sappy, that would work well with for the growing up pictures, cocktail hour, and whatever else.

What are you using, or what are some other songs that you think would work good for a video?

I'm very sensitive to lyrics -- I want the entire song to be appropriate. (Yes I am one of those people who listen to every word!)

This is a great song by : Ronan Keating it's best known for being in 'Nottin Hil' w/ Julia Roberts & Hugh Grant:

When You Say Nothing At All


It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart
Without saying a word you can light up the dark
Try as I may I can never explain
What I hear when you don't say a thing

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

All day long I can hear people talking out loud
But when you hold me near, you drown out the crowd
Try as they may, they could never define
Whats being said between your heart and mine

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me wherever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

The smile on your face lets me know that you need me
There's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me
The touch of your hand says you'll catch me where ever I fall
You say it best when you say nothing at all

I am partial to my song 'L-O-V-E' by Nat King Cole but Im not sure if that will work for all areas of the video.

I saw a great video sample that used Van Morrison's 'Someone like You' during the childhood photos and interviews and it was really moving:

Someone like you:
I've been searching a long time
For someone exactly like you
I've been travelling all around the world
Waiting for you to come through.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. Someone exactly
Like you.
I've been travellin' a hard road
Lookin' for someone exactly like you
I've been carryin' my heavy load
Waiting for the light to come
Shining through.
Someone like you makes it
All worth while
Someone like you keeps
Me satisfied. Someone exactly
Like you.

I've been doin' some soul searching
To find out where you're at
I've been up and down the highway
In all kinds of foreign lands
Someone like you... etc.

I've been all around the world
Marching to the beat of a different
Drum.
But just lately I have
Realised
The best is yet to come.
Someone like you... etc.
