Unity Candle Duet-- Need help!

Hi!

During the lighting of the unity candle, I have asked my brother and Future SIL to sing a duet.   THey both have really beautiful voices! I thought it would be a cute way for them both to participate in addition to being in the wedding party.  I also know someone that can play acoustic guitar.

Anyway,  I am having the hardest time finding songs! I want the song to be more of a mellow christian song-- something like "Your love is extravagant" by Casting Crowns or "Pure" by Kari Jobe..... I can't use the first song because one my friends had it in her wedding and my fiance doesn't like the "Pure" song. 

Any ideas???? I need a song that is meaningful, christian and sweet... but so many of the songs are so corney!! :)

Thanks!!!!!!!!

    We're doing "When I Say I Do" by Matthew West.........I don't know if it's a duet song though

    It's not especially religious, but maybe All I Ask of You from Phantom of the Opera.  I used an instrumental version as my processional, but it's a lovely duet.

    "When God Made You"- Newsong & Natalie Grant
    "The Prayer"- Charlotte Church & Josh Groban

    My fiance and I are using "Wouldn't Change a Thing" by Matthew West for our Unity Sand Ceremony and one of his groomsmen is playing it on the guitar and singing it.

    Hope this helps!
