Music?

I know I have 8 months and a few weeks until our ceremony, but I'm trying to figure out our ceremony music.  My brother & my best friend's dad will be playing our music, and asked that I tell them our selections as soon as possible so they can start learning, arranging, and collaborating.  They will both be playing acoustic guitar.

I need opinions!

I am walking down to "Maybe I'm Amazed" by Paul McCartney & Wings (played like this- clicky)

I need some ideas for the other songs.  We will have a DJ set up on the beach to play the prelude & postlude, so we just need two more songs: one for the seating of the mothers, and another for the attendants processional.

I was originally thinking of keeping it Beatles and was throwing around In My Life, Here, There, and Everywhere, and I Will.  But I only really like the way I Will sounds on acoustic- the others seem too sad or something when I listen to them.

It doesn't need to be all Beatles by any means, but I really need suggestions.  Anyone have any good ideas?

    "When I'm 64" is a good one for maybe the postlude because it's cute and upbeat.

    Now I want to listen to the Beatles but my iTunes lost my discography. :(

    Yeah we thought of that, too.  Not sure if we'll use it for the postlude or for our exit at the end of the night :)  Thanks for the suggestion!

    Oh I love the Beatles!!!!  We're doing All You Need is Love for our processional. 

    Ummmm I'd have to think on the seating of the mothers.  We are doing What a Wonderful World, but I think we're going with the israel kamakawiwo'ole version.

    This version of "Can't Help Falling in Love" makes me cry every time, but not necessarily great for seating of the mothers or bridal party though.

    Also, I love this song, and the man in the video is so adorable!

    I think you can turn around almost any song to sound good on different instruments if you just take the time to arrange it, look at VSQ.... I will be having all my postlude music from them, so our guests will be listening to string quartet versions of my favourite GNR songs for example. I have also put their GNR songs as the music on our wedding website lol
