Better late than never, my processional song idea of the day.
Now, this one might give away my slightly advanced age 
but seriously, it is SUCH a sweet, and lovely song and the sentiments in it are so heartfelt:

I think it would make such a lovely start to a wedding ceremony. I hope you like it, too!

Tomorrow we’ll look at Postude music to harmoniously see your guests out of the reception site.

I do love Pachelbel’s Canon in D but unfortunately its been played so much. Another is the Vitamin String’s version of “Never Think” from the Twilight sdtk. Not completely decided on either.

Lorienne, I love all of your music ideas. It has really inspired me. This last one is one of my favorite songs of all time. But unfortunately, I am limited in the Catholic church. I may just do Pachelbel’s Canon in D…
Do you have any ideas for a Catholic bride with a stuffy church organist?

@GaBGal: We’re using Canon in D as a recessional song — to get around the “it’s been done so much”, we’re going to use a non-piano version. There’s an album on iTunes called “10 Ways of Canon in D” (or something like that) and they have acoustic guitar, bells, violins, harps, everything! =)
My processional song is going to be ‘River Flows in You’ by Yiruma…but I’m not sure what else we’ll use for processional music (for everyone else, I mean). I really really love ‘Rose’ from the Titanic soundtrack (or the Titanic theme), but they sound really feminine to me, and we’re having a modified Jewish processional where all the men proceed up the aisle as well as the women.

Here are the two songs I used (I downloaded each MP3 off Amazon for $0.99 Each:
Wedding Party Processional:
Butterfly Waltz (Piano & Cello) by Brian Crain
http://www.amazon.com/Butterfly-Waltz-Piano-and-Cello/dp/B001AUGRPQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1250023457&sr=8-1
Bridal Processional:
Bach Unaccompanied Cello Suite No. 1 in G Major Played by Yo-Yo Ma
http://www.amazon.com/Unaccompanied-Cello-Suite-Pr%C3%A9lude-Instrumental/dp/B00137XFSS/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1250023597&sr=8-4
Both are instrumental, the first is more modern (I think) and both so beautiful.

@lisalulu, so sorry I missed your earlier post. Thank you for your kind words!!!
Not sure if you saw my post from last week with a “bonus” but it just might be the answer for you! Here is a link to that particular piece, where you can listen to it:
http://www.projectwedding.com/wiki/song_show/bridal-march
It is an incredibly lovely version of the traditional “Here Comes The Bride” done in piano by the keyboard player from Journey.
Think the stuffy organist would be up for trying that?
