Song for Unity Candle Ceremony

What song will you use for the unity candle ceremony? Ben and I are using 'Your Love is Extravagant' by Casting Crowns for the recessional, so we are open to something a little more contemporary in other parts of the ceremony as well.

Any suggestions?

    We're doing a Cord of Three Strands, but we're using "Love Never Fails" by Brandon Heath for that part.  We're also using "When I Say I Do" by Matthew West in another part of the ceremony.

    We are having "The Prayer" played.  It will be played by a tring trio, but it has been recorded by Yolanda Adams and Donnie McClurkin as duet and I believe Shania Twain has a version (if not her, it's Celine Dion).

    We used "I Will Be Here" by Steven Curtis Chapman, from the All About Love album.  Beautiful!

    I was thinking about using I Found the One My Soul Loves by Beloved.  It is a pretty song.  I saw them live they are amazing women.

    We used "When I say I do" by matthew west.  We had someone sing it for us with another friend playing piano.  We used the song while we did communion, and the unity candle.  It was supposed to be during our foot washing ceremony also, but the pastors broke that part up funny without telling anyone so that part didn't have any music to it.  It was beautiful though, and long enough to do whatever you needed it for.

    My MOH is playing piano and another bridesmaid will sing "How Beautiful" by Twila Paris.  FI and I are going to do our first communion and unity candle lighting during the song.
