    Well, given the place and theme, I'd say you just have to go with an
Elvis song.  How about "I Can't Help Falling in Love With You"?
Just what I was thinking.  I once sang this tune at a wedding, pairing it in a medley with Martini's "Plaisir d'Amour", just because they are both lovely melodies and seem to have a very similar harmonic structure.  In fact, I think I once heard that whoever wrote "Falling" was originally inspired by "Plaisir".  Anybody know anymore about this?
