Processional Song too Weird?

geminimoon617

I am considering walking down the aisle to an instrumental version of "If You Were Here" by the Thompson Twins. It's an 80's song and plays at the end of Sixteen Candles when Sam(Molly Ringwald) gets picked up on the church steps by Jake Ryan and closes out the movie. I personally love this movie and song so there is a sentimental attachment for me. My fiance isn't familiar oddly enough but Im sure some people might recognize it. My worry is that while I think it's great and unique, it might be too unique and NO one will recognize it and everyone think its weird.
Please look it up on YouTube and listen if you are unfamiliar and feel inclined to comment.
I hope for brutally honest opinions please. I know it's my wedding but am trying to get feedback without giving it away to too many people who would come.

I never expect to recognize all songs, readings, or traditions that someone incorporates into their wedding.  It should be a reflection of the couple being wed, and those secular or faith based elements that have meaning/significance for them. 
Honestly, my son had elements in his wedding I thought were "weird".  I focused on he and his bride, their absolute joy and love, and nothing else.  My daughter had a traditional faith based ceremony, and I am positive some were pained to sit through that as well.  Both ceremonies, however, were a reflection of who they were as a couple, and that is as it should be.
