Think any of them are too cheesy / weird?

THANK YOU for pointing this out. sometimes i feel like i'm the only person that pays attention to the meaning of that song. yes it's a pretty song, but pay attention to the lyrics.

Yes, "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" is a song about finding somewhere better, however, personally, I think that it's an awesome song for a wedding because you've found your somewhere better. That's just me though.

I like your choices, especially "Wild Horses" for the father daughter dance. I love that song and never heard it used for the father daughter dance, but it sounds like a good idea.

For walking down the aisle, what about a piano version of For Good from the musical Wicked? The song is about being changed for the better because you found someone (in the musical's case, Elfaba is changed by meeting Glenda.) It's a beautiful song, and it was my high school's class song.

Here is a piano version of For Good:
