Processional and recessional songs

As we work on our wedding music list over here I can't help but wonder what songs others had/will have for their processional and recessional...feel free to share!

As of now we know we are using Ingrid Michaelson's version of Can't Help Falling in Love for our processional....that's as far as we have gotten so far.

Oh! And Sugar Sugar by The Archies for the cake cutting :)

    Grandmothers will be escorted in to Alan Jackson's Like Red on a Rose. My FMIL and the WP are coming in to the same song. Endless Love the newer version with Shania Twain. I will be escorted by my Mom to Carrie Underwood's Mama's Song. And our recessional will be to Garth Brooks' Wrapped Up in You. We have other songs picked our for before and during the ceremony as well but you asked about the pro and recessionals. HTH!
