Well, I'd imagine the best option is one that has deep meaning to the two of you; I can't really give a good answer with that in mind. But if you're looking for something more broadly appropriate... maybe Michael Longcor's "Eternity's Waltz", or Elvis' "I can't help falling in love with you".

I’m Your Angel by Celine Dion and R. Kelly. That was the first dance song of a friend of mine and her new husband. So beautiful! 🥹

A Thousand Years by Christina Perri.

  The reason is in the lyrics
  
  So close, no matter how far
  Couldn't be much more from the heart
  Forever trusting who we are
  And nothing else matters
  Never opened myself this way
  Life is ours, we live it our way
  All these words, I don't just say
  And nothing else matters
  Trust I seek and I find in you
  Every day for us something new
  Open mind for a different view
  And nothing else matters
  Never cared for what they do
  Never cared for what they know
  But I know
  So close, no matter how far
  It couldn't be much more from the heart
  Forever trusting who we are
  And nothing else matters
  Never cared for what they do
  Never cared for what they know
  But I know
  I never opened myself this way
  Life is ours, we live it our way
  All these words, I don't just say
  And nothing else matters
  Trust I seek and I find in you
  Every day for us something new
  Open mind for a different view
  And nothing else matters
  Never cared for what they say
  Never cared for games they play
  Never cared for what they do
  Never cared for what they know
  And I know, yeah, yeah
  So close, no matter how far
  Couldn't be much more from the heart
  Forever trusting who we are
  No, nothing else matters
