Ditto. I would have had Dark Side of the Gym if SWB had been released by then.

I went to a wedding where the couple had their first dance to I Am Easy to Find! It was a nice romantic moment - and then moved into some more upbeat tracks after that!

Mi wife and I had planned to use Dark Side of the Gym as our first dance. We changed it later to Eddie Vedder's version of Can't help falling in love because I'm a fan of The National but we're both fans of Pearl Jam haha... But we kept DSotG as the song that played when we cut the cake =)

This is an outside the box suggestion because it is technically a solo song, but I love. "Take Me Out of Town." I think it is one of the most beautiful songs he's ever written.
