What Song to Sing at a 50year Wedding Anniversary?

I need some song suggestions for 4-6 young women to sing during my grandparent's 50th wedding anniversary party. They wanted us to sing a song as their present from us. We're looking for something nice because they are from a different country and wouldn't understand a pop song. Thanks

Suggestion:

Paris Nights/New York Mornings by Corinne Bailey Rae

It's a nice song, heres a link to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J2OLBhVua5c

What country are they from? Any specific genre or music their into. I'm guessing their old (obviously), but were they into the 50's-60's music or earlier Swing or Jazz? I'll edit if something else comes to mind if you answer these questions, but here are a few older songs to go with

Righteous Brothers – Unchained Melody
Righteous Brothers – (You're My) Soul and Inspiration
Peter Frampton – Baby I Love Your Way
Bill Medley & Jennifer Warnes – I've Had The Time Of My Life
Lionel Ritchie – Endless Love
Ella Fitzgerald & Louis Armstrong – Can Anyone Explain

Something simple. Try:

Righteous Brothers – Unchained Melody
Billie Holiday – My Man

Otherwise maybe something in their native language? I'd go with something slow, sweet, and to the point!
