    For the prelude I'm gonna have FI load up with some classical, not too dramatic, but soft stuff. We're DJing our own wedding so we have a laptop to control it all.

    The Processional for us is going to start with the seating of the mothers and grandparents, etc and we're playing 'Over the Rainbow' by IZ

    Then once they are all seated my BM's and I will walk down to 'Canon in D'

    As for Recessional FI picked a slow techno song called 'I'll Fly Away' by Gigi D'gnastio (think I spelled it right)

    All in acustic guitar:

    prelude? combo of known love songs, Beatles, Billy Joel, etc.
    processional? for moms Beatles, "In My Life."  For me, "Canon in D" 
    recessional? Beatles, "Here Comes the Sun"

    As of now...

    We're hoping for string music (preferably a cellist). We're so far out, it'll probably change, but right now, in lieu of the wedding march, we're going for Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring.

    I took all the music for the ceremony from the Marie Antoinette sound track. It has really great string music on the second cd. Our's is an informal private ceremony, so we aren't splitting it up by prelude, processional, etc. You could listen to that and see if you like anything.
