Wedding Ceremony & Reception Music Discussions

Anyone have full outline of all songs played for Ceremony? Prelude, Processional,& Recessional

I am completely lost with the Music Portion of Wedding Planning. Can someone that already has their Music planned for their Wedding or someone who has already gotten married share with me the full outline of what should be played for all three: Prelude, Processional, & Recessional. I know it's up to my FI and I in the end. I just need a little guidance. My Pianist keeps asking me what I want her to play prior to the wedding starting and I don't know what to tell her! Someone PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE help!!!! Thank you!!!

    For prelude we're having Bridal Prayer, and then Parent's Prayer during seating of the parents.  Recessional- Canon in D for bridesmaids & Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring for me.  Recessional- Trumpet Voluntary

    Hope this helps
