I've always wondered who the speaker and subject of the song "Kiss Me" by Sixpence None The Richer were supposed to be.
From the lyrics, it sounds as though it's some sort of romantic couple (wife and husband, girlfriend and boyfriend, etc.)-- but if the speaker is female ("You'll wear those shoes and I will wear that dress"), then it seems so is the subject ("bring your flowered hat").
So maybe it's two good female friends?
Or a mother and daughter?
Or two sisters?
Or a wife with a husband who just happens to wear flowered hats? ::
Or maybe two women who are gay?
What are your thoughts??

I'm willing to bet it was a Catholic ceremony.
Why would that be the case? As far as I know, the song isn't Catholic in any sense.
In any case, it's a very beautiful and fitting song for a wedding.

Are you serious?
I've never heard that theory before.
It could make some sense... but the line "I can still hear her complain" doesn't quite fit a dog.

That's pretty vague... was it a female singer, or male? Or a group? Any other identifying characteristics?

Are you maybe thinking of "Holes in the Floor of Heaven" by Steve Wariner?
Holes in the Floor of Heaven
One day, shy and 8 years old
When grandma passed away
I was a broken hearted little boy
Blowing out that birthday cake
How i cried when the sky let go
With a cold lonesome rain
My mom smiled, said "Don't be sad child.
Grandma's watching you today."
Cause there are holes in the floor of Heaven
And her tears are pouring down
That's how you know she's watching
Wishing she could be here now
Sometimes if you're lonely
Just remember she can see
There are holes in the floor of Heaven
And she's watching over you and me
Seasons come and seasons go
Nothing stays the same
I grew up, fell in love
Met a girl who took my name
Year by year we made a life
In this sleepy little town
I thought we'd grow old together
Lord, I sure do miss her now
Cause there's holes in the floor of Heaven
And her tears are pouring down
That's how I know she's watching
Wishing she could be here now
Sometimes when I'm lonely
I just remember she can see
There are holes in the floor of Heaven
And she's watching over you and me
Well my little girl is 23
I walk her down the aisle
It's a shame her Mom can't be here now
To see her lovely smile
They throw the rice, I catch her eye
As the rain starts coming down
She takes my hand says, "Daddy don't be sad
Cause I know Mama's watching now."
There are holes in the floor of Heaven
And her tears are pouring down
That's how I know she's watching
Wishing she could be here now
Sometimes when I'm lonely
I just remember she can see
There are holes in the floor of Heaven
And she's watching over you and me.

I think the song you're thinking of "All Kinds of Time" by the Fountains of Wayne. It was made popular by the commercials for the NFL Network played on CBS and FOX during their NFL broadcasts.
"All Kinds Of Time" by Fountains of Wayne
The clock's running down
The team's losing ground
To the opposing defense
The young quarterback
Waits for the snap
When suddenly it all starts to make sense
He's got all kinds of time
He's got all kinds of time
All kinds of time
He's got all kinds of time
All kinds of time
He takes a step back
He's under attack
But he knows that no one can touch him now
He seems so at ease
A strange inner peace
Is all that he's feeling somehow
He's got all kinds of time
He's got all kinds of time
All kinds of time
He's got all kinds of time
All kinds of time
[bridge]
He thinks of his mother
He thinks of his bride-to-be
He thinks of his father
His two younger brothers
Gathered around the widescreen TV
He looks to the left
He looks to the right
And there in a golden ray of light
Is his open man
Just as he planned
The whole world is his tonight

Thanks, Uncle Joe, but if you're referring to her "Goodbye To You" song, I don't think that's it-- but it is a very, very good guess.
The song I'm thinking of is more of a love ballad-- a little sad and a little slow (ala the Jet's "Make It Real").

Hi Everyone...
I've had this song in my head for nearly the last 20 years-- it was a much-played pop song in '86 or '87. The lead singer was female, and of the lyrics all I remember is the chorus:
"Saying goodbye... goodbye to you...
Was the hardest thing that I could ever do"
and later:
"Let me say (say say say)... what I have to say
And leave the memory of loving you in vain"
In the background, was the same super deep voice from Yellow's "Oh Yeah" (if you remember Ferris Beuler's Day Off) repating (I think) : "For real".
It sounded like it could be The Jets, or Gloria Estefan... but I've googled and googled and found no matches.
Anyone else remember this song? Like I said, it seemed like it was a pretty big song when it first came out, but I've never heard it since. None of my friends recall the song, either-- they swear I must've dreamed it up.

Yep, according to Song Facts they are a Christian band.
But I wondered why a woman would say to her lover "bring your flowered hat"-- unless her lover was female.
