What Would Axl Sing First?

At wedding celebrations, the first dance of the night undertaken by freshly minted wife and husband is traditionally conducted to the tune of a romantic, lovey-dovey, and often overplayed song. I think of Wonderful Tonight or Unchained Melody--something a little cheesy but that, deep down, everybody kind of likes.

Which begs the question: What Would Axl Sing First? (WWASF?)

Any Axl performance should, by law, begin with Welcome to the Jungle. There's no better greeting to an evening of ass-kicking rock n roll. However, these unique matrimonial circumstances call for a slow love song. The obvious top GNR options are Patience and Don't Cry, with the slight edge going to Patience due to the awesome section at the end (I've been walking these streets at night...).

But what about one of the new songs from Chinese Democracy? That'd be a pretty amazing way to kick off a lifetime of love. What about--gasp--a cover? Axl's done it before and he'll do it again.

I Will Always Love You (Whitney or Dolly)? Love of A Lifetime (Firehouse)? Take My Breath Away (Top Gun)?

Thoughts?
