What New Wave song was your "first dance" at your wedding or at a significant moment in an important relationship?

well, we skipped the whole "first dance" scenario at our wedding (it was a casual affair), but I find "Maid of Orleans" to be super romantic (even with the sad lyrics). I think my heart would just about melt if I saw a couple waltz to that [:)]
