I've been asked to sing in a wedding in a few month. I've not done this in awhile (about 15 years). I know all the traditional older songs (Butterfly Kisses, Cherish the Treasure, If, Parent's Prayer, You Light up my Life, etc) but was wondering if there are any newer songs that are just really special.
Any suggestions?

Oh, anything by Janet Jackson'll do. 
Gotta share this quick story: My wife worked with a lady whose husband pastored a local, traditional SBC. One Sunday, a family whose wife/mother had grown up in that church and was a favored singer there, arrived at this new mother's home church with freshly minted infant in tow. They had asked her to sing, knowing she'd be there. She brought her own accompaniment tape.
The song (I promise this was told as a true story) ---
"Look What We Made When We Made Love"

Human government bears the same relation to hell as the church bears to heaven. (David Lipscomb, On Civil Government, 72).
Below are the lyrics to a song on Little Big Town's new CD. I just was thinking the other day as I was singing along, what a great wedding song this would be. The whole CD is great. It is sung with guitar on the album, but piano would sound great also.

TO KNOW LOVE
Walk with me in the moonlight, babe
Lose ourselves in the star parade
And I will sing a midnight serenade for you
Dance with me in a field of green
Be so close I can hear you breathe
Be the end and the in between
‘Cause to know you is to know love
And to know love is to know enough
To walk with you through this life
From now until the day I die
‘Cause what better way is there to live than to with you
So put your sun in my silver sky
Put your rain in my river dry
Put your words to my lullaby
And I’ll dream
‘Cause to know you is to know love
And to know love is to know enough
To walk with you through this life
From now until the day I die
‘Cause what better way is there to live than to with you

Just curious, why is the bride not choosing the song you are singing?
Also, Butterfly Kisses is more of a father/daughter first dance song isn't it?

I don't know how fitting this is but...
Go back a couple years to Steven Curtis Chapman's "All About Love" album. Everything on it is great.
For a renewal of vows, I can't think of a better song than "We Will Dance" off of that album.
For a groom to bride song, "How Do I Love A Woman" would work great. That album pretty much does it all.
