Wedding Music Made to Measure
If you attend more than one wedding in a year, you are likely to hear the usual
choices for wedding music, such as The Wedding March, or Pachelbel's
Canon. But for your own wedding, you may want something different, something
that reflects who you are as a couple.
Modern music offers many beautiful tunes that would be
perfect for the Bride’s Processional walk down the aisle. Here are some
suggestions:
Moon River (Andy Williams –
Breakfast at Tiffany’s soundtrack)
Endless Love (Mariah Carey and Luther Vandross)
Unchained Melody (Righteous Brothers)
I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing (Aerosmith)
You Are So Beautiful (Joe Cocker)

Recessional should reflect the love and joy you feel as well as your personal
taste.
