  It'll help us if you tell us more specifically what you're looking for.  Processional/Recessional?  Solo?  Song for everyone to sing during the service?
  
  We used classical music for the procession and recession.  We only sang one hymn: "Joyful, Joyful We Adore Thee".

  What part of the ceremony are you trying to find music for?  Processional, hymn, recessional...
  
  Also,what kind of music are you going to have?  Live musicians (if so what instruments) or recorded music?

  LOL. My first thought is always "Where's Emily? She has a list." And sure enough, she posted already.

  Hi, here are a few songs that came to mind when I saw your post. I've also made some suggestions as to where they can be used:

  
  

  Processional/Recessional:

  1. The Sacred Romance

  2. I can Hear Your Voice

  - Both are by Michael W. Smith, they sort of melt into each other, so you can use them one after the other

  3. Free-LaShelle Griffin-Would be great for signing the marriage covenant, or during dinner

  4. L.O.U.D. L.O.U.D.-Fred Hammond-for dancing, if you're dancing

  5. You and Me -Lifehouse (for the 1st dance )

  6. Getting into You-Relient K-slow and worshipful, maybe for dinner, or the ceremony

  7. Your Love is Extravagant- Casting Crowns-dinner/ceremony

  8. Holy Spirit Girl-Canton Jones-dinner/ceremony

  9. Kiss Me-sixpence none the richer

   

  Hymns are great as well: Great is Thy Faithfulness, Doxology, I Exalt thee.

  
  

  Those are the ones I could think of off the top of my head. If you have access to Hillsong music, they've got great songs, if your focus is giving God the glory for your marriage. Another one is Brooke Fraser, she has great love songs.

  
  

  P.S: I'm like super-new to the Knot... so I hope this all helps!!!
