nice topic! yeah, I hate it how so many love songs are about "sad love." (Nice for when you're feeling down, but sometimes you want happy songs!) :-)
@joy2011: Thanks! Do you have any favorites?
I don't want this to be my list, but a collaboration. If we pool our musical knowledge, this could be a good resource for bees in the future as well as now :)
I just want to bump this for the post-a-thon - I am sad I can't participate tonight, but I'd love to get some responses to this - I know there are bees full of great music knowledge :)

I love this thread! So many songs "seem" like they should be happy because they talk about love, but then your realize they are actually really sad songs. I do not want ANY of those at my wedding! I've been to too many weddings where I went "huh?!?" because the songs played were really depressing and the opposite of happy.
Thanks for the ideas!

Ditto to "You and Me" by Dave Matthews Band, and "All You Need is Love" by the Beatles. I would add "You Are the Best Thing" by Ray LaMontagne.
Glad this thread got revived, I know it's late but this may help some other people looking for music inspirations. This is an amazing concept! Some of my favorites are (taken from my phone playlist):
Whew. I know a lot of those are older songs, but I'm not a big fan of newer music. I'll add more if I think of them.
Wow. Pinksapphire that is a very good and long list! Thanks for all the additional adds everyone! I'm putting together an iPod of 3 hrs of happy love music and all of these really help.
