    I'm really stuck on this... I'm trying to burn a disc with all the ceremony music and only need this one to complete it...

    Sorry, no help here, but I'm definitely stuck on this one too! It's the last song we need to figure out. Since we're doing a civil ceremony, the sky's the limit (no restrictions by our venue on what we CAN play).

    We're having a church cermony, so our recessional is Ode to Joy.

    we used la rejouissance- check it out on you tube! I liked it because it sounded jubilant on the cello.

    we're using Coldplay's viva la vida, instrumental if our DJ has it. If not, we'll just do words even though they're not wedding-y.

    We got married in a church and had an organist, so our recessional song was Wedding March by Mendhelsson (sp, sorry). It was such a perfect choice and one of the two best moments of the ceremony (the first was DH crying when I walked down the aisle!) :)

    We did Cath... by Death Cab for Cutie. The band started playing the intro as we were being introduced and then we walked down the aisle in perfect time to the beginning of the song. It was awesome!
