If you don't know about them already, Blackmores Night. Actually the exact picture i get from them is a medieval wedding.

They won the Hard Rock/Heavy Metal Grammy one year, and Metallica got mad, so the award was split into two categories every year since then. Considering that they're a hard rock band, there wasn't really anything wrong with them winning such an award, but Metallica has a long history of complaining about things.

Rhapsody. All about the medieval stuff.
As for the love element...I dunno about that. Silent Dream off their latest feels kinda like a love song (lyrics are vague) but not as medieval. If you're willing to extend that to "medieval ballad" there's more for you.
Best of luck, by the way.

Blackmore's Night is great, but they're really more Renaissance/Early Modern style folk.
I don't think you'll find much great Medieval folk music. A lot of bands that label themselves as "medieval" really don't play very medieval-influenced stuff anyway.
There's an old ballad called Captain Wedderburn about the wooing of a young lass. Perhaps you'd fancy that one.
It's a great song.

awesome! i always thought apocalyptica would be great for weddings. not medieval though.
this is a love song, but sad
you can also look for the song "over the hills and far away". nightwish and thyrfing both did covers of it. its a love song, but another sad love song.
fuckin great!
i'll think of more soon

oh, you can also look on folk metal albums. many of them have intsrumental pieces that are quite moving. a track on eluveitie's album Slania comes to mind.

doin some research and youre gonna be hard pressed to find actual medieval music, unless its gregorian chant.
you should get a bard to sing about the wedding, during the wedding...

Exactly. Most of the times when we say "medieval" we're not actually thinking of medieval music.
There are some really good folk love songs that would fit a wedding environment. I already mentioned Captain Wedderburn. There's another one called Misty Moisty Morning that's a good love song and lots of fun. It's a story about a wedding, and it's great fun to dance to.

Wrong, since it totally is a split award now ever since that incident.

How about early Theatre of Tragedy. It's been a number of years since I listened to those 3albums but I seem to remember them being 'that way'.
I appreciate the help guys, thanks! I am starting to think what I'm looking for doesn't exist. I was hoping a band like Rhapsody would happen to have a song on an album that focused on a hero's love for his lass, like pledging love eternal, etc. They have some great stories out there, but I just can't seem to find a love song in them. But that's more what I'm looking for.
I do know and love Blackmore's Night. But oddly, their medieval-sounding songs are usually sad and the "happy" love songs don't sound medieval. They have a couple tracks that almost fit the bill, but my fiance couldn't get into them.
Anyway, if anyone has any more ideas, I'm totally open! Thanks!
