The first chorus says “You will protect me,” and the last says “I will protect you,” which feels like the two are thinking of each other—so isn’t it a perfect song for a wedding? It might be nice to play it during scenes like how the couple first met, where the footage runs a bit longer.

Also, if you sing this song as part of the entertainment—or have someone sing it—you can replace “you” and “I” with the bride’s and groom’s real names.
