I am guessing from your post you are not looking for traditional selections but I am using The Rejoicing from Fireworks Music by Handel. Is a DJ playing all ceremony music??
Yep, it's an outdoor ceremony (reception in same location) and our guitarist backed out, so the dj is going to play pre-wedding samba music, "Here Comes the Sun" processional, and we're-not-sure-what for the recessional.
I had my musicians play "till there was you" :) but i'm sure the beatles version would be just as nice :) (which was our first dance)
We used the Royal Fireworks (we had a brass quintet), but I think The Beach Boys' 'God Only Knows' would work...
We also thought about the Halleluiah Chorus from Handel's Messiah :) Slightly irreverant, but fun. Ditto the Star Wars theme (or Raiders of the Lost Ark).
We're using "Tenderness" by General Public. Every time I hear it I think of the last scene of the movie "Clueless" where the girls are at the wedding scrambling to catch the bouquet. =)
Other top contenders were "Bittersweet Symphony" by The Verve and "Beautiful Day" by U2.
We used "Real, Real" by Nina Simone. There's a nice reference to a "great wedding day." We're also both huge Nina fans...
Random pop music cautionary tale that I was just thinking of this weekend....
Because we're getting married in September (and our original anniversary is in Sept), we are using...September by Earth, Wind, and Fire!
I think it completely depends on the vibe you want for the wedding.
I've seen people do it beautifully to classical music but I was at a wedding where they played Lovefool by The Cardigans and it was superfun and cute!
As for us, after seeing the movie Stranger Than Fiction my FI and I both agreed that we wanted to do our recessional to Whole Wide World by Wreckless Eric, the song Will Ferrell plays to Maggie Gyllenhall on the guitar. :-)

Hi!
What is everyone doing for a recessional? We have a dj and were thinking about "These are days" by 10,000 Maniacs... But we're not sold. Any other ideas?
TIA!
