@Turner_Ound -- I've always interpreted the song to be about a relationship that is considered to be wrong or inappropriate by the partner's family -- "in the shadow of your family tree" and "pumping blood to the roots of evil to keep it young" seem particularly evocative of this idea. Could be for religious, racial, any number of reasons. An interview given by Tunde to A/V Club said something similar.

@hotterthanjuly -- maybe the people who want to use it as a wedding song don't like their families all that much. ;)

It's funny how some people would see this as their future wedding song. Something tells me these same people have absolutely no idea what this song means.

It's easy to take TVOTR's songwriting for granted since their lyrics often get lost in the sonic bombast of their typical songs, but in songs like this where the lyrics take center stage you see just how deep and brilliant their songwriting really is.
