Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music Discussions

Slideshow song help!

We are having a slideshow played during the dinner at our reception with music and pictures of my fiance and I, and we have a lot of pictures because we've been together almost 7 years (our wedding day is our 7 year anniversary) so it will take about 2 to 3 songs. I have one song picked out so far, "a thousand years" by Christinia Perri, but I cannot find anymore that I really like. I want something really slow like "a thousand years" but my fiance and I really don't like country music, so we don't care to have any of that played. We're both really into heavier music, so we don't know a whole lot of slow romantic songs. Please help!

    Peter Bradley Adams - "Keep Us"
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1Fy8D4PVUE&nofeather=True

    When the rain set in we had nowhere left to go
    so we just stayed in bed while the thunder rolled
    there's a comfort in the rain, one that lovers only know
    so we lay hand in hand while the water rose ...

    Every season will turn til the world is upside down
    rivers overflow then go underground
    but in the eye of the storm, in the safety of this house
    we lay hand in hand while the world turns wrong.

    So keep us and keep us, keep us from the storm.

    There's a lesson in the rain that change will always come
    let us ride this wave and then greet the sun....

    Asa "The Way I Feel"

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gM9A3TZ-hVo

    I feel pain when they try to bring me down
    But as long as this world keeps turning round
    I know it won't last forever
    Ok ok my life is moving
    But demons are fighting
    Ok ok tears are dry now
    But demons are fighting

    I feel like I'm floating through existence
    I feel like I'm living after time
    I feel like I'm forced to break the silence
    Is that a crime? Is that a crime?
    I feel like we're all following shadows
    And shadows they don't know where to go
    I feel like I'm waiting for tomorrow
    While today wastes away

    It's not that I don't know
    It's not that I can't see
    It's not that I haven't noticed
    It's driving me insane
    It's not that I don't know
    It's not that I can't see
    It's just the way I feel
    It's just the way I feel

    I feel like a child without a father
    And mama tries oh lord knows mama tries
    I feel like the world is on my shoulder
    I wonder why, wonder why
    I feel like I'm not the only one who's frustrated
    I feel like something's going wrong
    I can't escape it
    I feel like the destinies of those meant
    To be the best
    Are in the hands of liars now the world is on fire

    I feel like we're not angry enough
    That while we wait, time's ticking away
    I feel there's gonna be an explosion!

    It's not that I don't know
    It's not that I can't see
    It's not that I haven't noticed
    It's driving me insane
    It's not that I don't know
    It's not that I can't see
    It's just the way I feel
    It's just the way I feel
