bridal processional help

My fiance and I can't decide on a song for the wedding processional. We have chosen 'stand by me' by ben e. king for our first dance and 'at last' by etta james for our last dance. 

 Some of our ideas so far include norah jones 'come away with me', norah jones 'sunrise', an instrumental version of 'over the rainbow' and an instrumental version of leonard cohen's 'hallelujah' 

We are younger and it's an outdoor ceremony with a tented reception so not too formal..any suggestions?

    Have you ever heard "Songbird" as sung by Eva Cassidy?  That was what I walked down the aisle to.  If you like Norah Jones, you might like this too!

    "Love Never Fails" by Brandon Heath or "Marry Me' by Train are both really good options ... You tube is a great resource for finding interesting songs

    I'm walking out to Songbird.  I agree with PP that if you like Noah Jones, it would be a good song for you.  I also like Bonnie Rhaitt "Feels like Home"

    My girls are walking to an acoustic piano arrangement of Black Balloon by GooGoo dolls and I'm walking to the first few measures of Clair de Lune by Debussy. :]

    We are walking out to Al Green Lets Stay Together. I would suggest anything upbeat, it will set the tone for the reception!!

    My processional was to "Divine Romance" by Paul Wicham, but if you aren't the religious type, it may not work for you... I thought the song was perfect for us!

    I'm waking in to "Soul Sister" By Train... and out to  "Another One bited the Dust" by Queen.  Yea - I know... It's a really casual and neither of us are romantic people.... even the Train sone is almost a little to not funny enough for me... My first chioce was "Shook me all Night Long" by AC/DC, but my mom won't let me - LOL!

    I love this version. It's Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole, it's what we are walking down to after the ceremony is done. He's Hawaiian, and we are honeymooning in Hawaii, so I thought it was a cute touch.
