Music choices

What songs are allowed for the processional and the recessional for Catholic churches? My priest said I could walk to non-religious music but that was not his absolute first choice (obviously). Any suggestions?

    I'd keep it in the Christian realm; I know that Steven Curtis Chapman has a couple of really beautiful songs appropriate for weddings... I'd go through lyrics of songs, see what you like, and then take them to your priest and see if he approves.
