Does anyone know songs (funny or dramatic) about marriage, being married, a wife, or a husband?

THANKS IN ADVANCE!

Squeeze's Up the Junction, Arieal M's Wedding Song #1, #2 & #3, Magnetic Field's Oh Yeah, Carley Simon's That's The Way I've Always Heard It Should Be all pop into my mind.

how's about

Marry Me-Neil Diamond

and I would say

From this Moment- Shania Twain

though that one can be interpreted without the marriage in it

Tenacious D - F*ck Her Gently

No no no.

Here's a weird one: "Bess, You Is My Woman Now" from George Gershwin's opera Porgy and Bess.

Porgy:
Bess, you is my woman now,
You is, you is!
An’ you mus’ laugh an’ sing an’ dance
For two instead of one.
Want no wrinkle on yo’ brow,
Nohow,
Because de sorrow of de past is all done done
Oh, bess, my bess!

Bess:
Porgy, i’s yo’ woman now,
I is, I is!
An’ I ain’t never goin’ nowhere ’less you shares de fun.
Dere’s no wrinkle on my brow,
Nohow,
But I ain’t goin’! you hear me sayin’,
If you ain’ goin’, wid you I’m stayin’!

Porgy, i’s yo’ woman now!
I’s yours forever -
Mornin’ time an’ evenin’ time an’
Summer time an’ winter time.

Porgy:
Mornin’ time an’ evenin’ time an’
Summer time an’ winter time.
Bess, you got yo’ man.

Bess, you is my woman now and forever.*
Dis life is jes’ begun,
Bess, we two is one
Now an’ forever.
Oh, bess, don’t min’ dose women.
You got yo’ porgy.
I knows you means it,
I seen it in yo’ eyes, bess.
We’ll go swingin’
Through de years a-singin’.

Bess:
Mornin’ time an’ evenin’ time an’
Summer time an’ winter time.

Porgy:
Mornin’ time an’ evenin’ time an’
Summer time an’ winter time.

Bess:
Oh, my porgy, my man, porgy.

Porgy: [simultaneously] my bess, my bess.

Bess: from dis minute I’m tellin’ you, I keep dis vow: porgy, i’s yo’
Woman now.

Porgy: [simultaneously]
From dis minute I’m tellin’ you, I keep dis vow:
Oh, my bessie, we’s happy now. we is one now.

It's an opera about slaves who fall in love. Very touching. Probably get you yelled at nowdays by some idiot or another for being "racist" or "overly controversial" even though it's a classic American opera, and has a strong anti-rascism message.

Man, I love giving the interesting suggestions.

Tom Lehrer - Old and Grey

Nine Inch Nails - Closer (hey, it describes the first year of marriage rather well)

Taps
