In fact, the verses are iambic pentameter couplets, just like most English love poems. You can easily sub in your favorite lines:
Come live with me and be my love,.
And we will all the pleasures prove,
or whatever.

I'm guessing "Life's Been Good So Far" by Joe Walsh is out....

I'm late to the party too. I've always liked Van Morrison's "Brand New Day" though its a little heavier, kind of like turning the corner, redemption, second chance kind of thing.

Update - the wedding was today & the weather was beautiful up here just outside of Freeport. We ended up doing the Lennon and Maisey, and I was fortunate enough to have two young ladies harmonizing, so all I had to do was capo 5 and play ringing arpeggiated guitar chords. Lots of compliments (and many beverages consumed!)
Thanks again everyone for your thoughts and suggestions. Both my girlfriend's kids are now married off, so I am now off the hook!

Not exactly a wedding song, but this tune from my past is my go to when I need a boost.
Re: I need a "Life is Good" song.
Several years ago my wedding combo was requested to play the following great tune for the father & daughter dance, rather than the cliched "Daddy's Little Girl" or "You Are So Beautiful" or "Butterfly Kisses". Nothing says "life is good" better than Louis Prima:

Too late for this assignment, but next time this would fit the bill
