SEND ME SONGS ABOUT MARRIAGE!: Eve

So I got "In My Liverpool Home" (see post immediately below) stuck in my head on Wednesday, and COULD NOT get it out. I started thinking about the view of marriage the song relies on, and about how marriage is depicted in other songs, and how these songs shape our views of what marriage is and why it matters. So much of the mystique and power of marriage come from its symbolic richness and its millennia of human tradition, of which these songs are a part. I've posted a few of my favorite marriage-related songs below, and I'd love it if you all would send me yours. I'm, personally, most interested in songs that take a somewhat ambiguous view of marriage--it's often easier to see the underlying cultural assumptions in those songs than in more high-romantic ones, IMO.

So--send me songs about marriage.
