    We did Bless The Broken Road for the processional and Bittersweet Symphony for the recessional.  We had a piano though, so no words.  Then again, I was so in a fog that I didn't even remember music being played...

    We had a pianist & soloist. Seating: Like Taryn, Secret Love & Angel Eyes by Jim Brickman then we did Clocks by Coldplay & something else. I hope the videographer got it b/c i missed alll of this. Bridal Party Processional: beginning of Canon in D Bride Processional: Canon in D (the "big" part) Unity Candle Lighting: "Marry My Angel" Jamie Foxx (sang by soloist with pianist) - it was amazing & the highlight of our ceremony Recessional: For Once in My Life - Steve Wonder Postlude: whatever Hope felt like playing

    This is what I'm thinking so far: Seating of Guests: Air on G String by J.S. Bach   Bridesmaids' Procession: Canon in D Major by J. Pachelbel   Bride's Procession: Trumpet Voluntary by J. Clark   Sand Ceremony: From This Moment by S. Twain   Recessional: Brandenburg Concerto #2, 3nd movement by J.S. Bach
