We are trying to organize a 50th anniversary party for my grandparents. We have a large qty of pictures that we are having put into a slideshow and we need some songs to put to it for background music. I am drawing a blank. My mother likes the Carrie Underwood song "When We Remember." We are not genre specific, so anything goes. Thank you in advance for any suggestions.
What about some songs from the year they were married?

When my grandparents celebrated their 50th we went to the local archives and made some copies of articles from the newspaper from the day they were married and showed some of the ads from it too. Was lots of fun looking back.

That's a great song for this. I had forgot about that one!
What about that Kenny Rogers song? "Through the years", or something like that?
Thank you all for your suggestions. Here's what we decided to go with since we could only pick three:
When You Remember - Carrie Underwood
Through the Years - Kenny Rogers
The Way We Were - Barbara Streisand
After I followed the many leads you all gave me, I wished we could pick more! Thanks again.
It looks like you already have your songs, but one that I thought of is "Remember When" by Alan Jackson. Just thought I would throw that out there in case you need a back up

I LOVE that song. We considered it, but my grandmother's brother had it played at his funeral. Now that side of the family associates it with him. Good choice though. I do really like that song though.
We had a 50th for my folks 2 years ago. We used the songs from when they were dating. All of the songs were the ones from "their" day because frankly they really don't listen to anything else! 
So we started off with "Young Girl" from Gary Puckett and the Union Gap (that went over HUGE because my daddy kinda robbed the cradle...snicker..)
"Try to Remember" and "Everything is Beautiful" by Jim Neighbors
"Surrender" by Elvis Presley...sexy, romantic #1 hit of 1961.
"Houndog" is a good one, too, if you have pix of grandpa showing off his muscles or something to that affect.
Have fun! I LOVE turning old snapshots into home DVDs and movies. (This is my other hobby/passion.) I have done a few now and enjoy it tremendously!
EDITED: oops! my bad! I didn't see where you had your choices already!
