I want to use some instrumental versions of songs I love but Im not sure if some of my choices are appropriate??

Someone Like You - Adele

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=if8epsj52Gw

right off the bat you are probably thinking about the lyrics to this song and thats what im trying to avoid because well they are about love failing and are not entirely "wedding appropriate" and thats what i thought too until i stumbled upon this and fell head over heals for the instrumental version on the piano (all our ceremony music will be piano or organ)

This would be the first song played during the prelude while guests are being seated and would be followed by:

Marry Me - Train
Claire De Lune - Debussy (Twilight Junkie)
Ave Maria - Schubert (Not a Catholic Church but Mom is catholic so this is for her)
Air on a G String - Bach (uber traditional!)

I also plan to add in a song from the Harry Potter collection right before Claire De Lune because fiance and i are both major HP dorks!

As a wedding guest would you be put off by the non traditional songs? Any specific thoughts on Adele? THANKS!!!!
