Fun wedding type songs

We are having our engagement party in 2 weeks- its a casual get together BBQ type thing, so I thought it would be fun to put together a wedding-ish playlist on my ipod to have as background music. Im looking mostly for upbeat, semi-current wedding/love type songs that aren't slow - for instance I have Lets Get Married by Jagged Edge, Come on Get Higher by Matthew Nathanson, etc (its a mixed crowd from young to older). Any recommendations would be great!

    I'm sure I'm the only one in the world that likes or even knows this song, but when I was younger I really loved the Muppets.  In the movie The Muppets Take Manhattan, they all sing a song "Somebody's Getting Married."  It's super cheesy and has the characters talking in it, but I really really enjoy it.

    That probably wasn't much help, sorry.

    I have a ridiculous soft spot for Taylor Swift's "Love Story" - but that's because it rather describes our engagement.

    I'm going to say "ditto" to anything Beatles.
