Could the song "We have all the time in the world" be a foreshadowing to the wedding at the end?

Since it's the only Bond movie to feature a song and a montage dedicated to the Bond girl, one might guess the ending.

Sadly, it seems like a forshadowing of what happens after the wedding. In the book, "...we've got all the time oin the world" is the last thing Bond says in the novel OHMSS, in shock, as he cradles Tracy's lifeless body.

Agreed.  If the song is foreshadowing anything, it's the tragic events that close out the film.

Actually, in both the book and the movie, the sentence "We have all the time in the world" is said twice... the first, when Bond says Tracy to let the car surpass them (book) and after Tracy asks for a wedding presents ("three boys and three girls") Bond replies "Not bad for a start. but darling, now we have...", the second time is after Tracy's death of course.
