I think that one of the things to be cognizant of when exposing people to foreign music is how it sounds to them for the very first time. People are not going to be able to understand the lyrics or the meaning of the song and you both will, but they will hear and understand the melody, tempo, and feelings that conveyed through the music.
With that said... a happy song with a mellow melody will probably not be a good idea... conversely, you can have a provocative break-up song that sounds happy for your first dance and you might even be able to pull it off! ha ha ha...
Anyway.. with that in mind.. here are my suggestion...
La Javanaise (Monaco 2008 Version) - by Alizée ... This is Alizée doing a cover of a classic French song... however it is the best version, in my eyes of that song! It may also be recognizable to some of the guests. I posted a video of it below but you can find audio with the clapping at the end and everything edited out... you'd have to endure clapping in the beginning but that's no biggie.
