choosing a really beautiful song for your wedding processional can really add emotion to a wedding. some friends and i recently had a love song session, where we each went around the room and played our favorite love songs for each other. one of the selections i played was bon iver's cover of i can't make you love me/nick of time. this particular cover can easily make you weep. probably not appropriate for a wedding processional, but absolutely lovely, nonetheless.  

i am a sucker for a good love song.
