wedding set

[elrond]

Hi I have a wedding (my mums) coming up and feel like playing something there with a family group,I would like some advice on more tunes to check out with sweet sincere love song lyrics along the lines of "honeysuckle rose" "aint misbehavin" which I have already chosen.
I would play as a duo or trio guitar (me), vocal, and drums (maybe)
no bass, so if anyone knows some arrangments of honeysuckle rose or aint misbehavin that I could check out with the guitar playing walking bass and comping for these tunes it would be nice to be pointed in the right direction ,
I have been studying up on walking bass and comping chords but dont feel confident I could produce a strong arrangement to hold it all together all by myself

I include this clip because this is what music is all about-having fun. Her smile would light the darkest room.

The Nearness of You is a very nice ballad with great lyrics, a pretty easy melody, and stays diatonic. Nora Jones was the last person I can think of who recorded it.

try something sinatra or tony bennett sang. most folks think they know what they like, but they really like what they know.

very nice, love that little bassline after 1:44. interesting how working out chords shes playing (without the fretboard in sight! :0 ) makes you aware of how important note choice is, not just banging out the right chord on your chart or tab, its playing the right 3 or so bass and harmony notes that enhance the song.
