Is there an organist/pianist at your church? Maybe have a chat with them about what they can play and what they would recommend.

yes,we are meeting with them tomorrow night but we want to have a few ideas of our own to take to the meeting

How about The Arrival of the Queen of Sheba - Handel?

or maybe some Mozart?

Or maybe the Allegro from Handel's Watermusic

if you have a trendy church how about "Ain't no stopping us now"

I once read on this very board (I think!) that somebody's friends chose "Highway To Hell" as a laugh!!!! he he, no but on a serious note stay away from Celine Dion's "Heart Will Go On" from Titanic because it's about a sinking ship.

Sorry I can't be more helpful, I'd say you'd be better talking to whoever is doing the music for your wedding as they will probably have a lot of good ideas and if they regularly play at weddings they can tell you what works / doesn't work. Good luck!

From singing at weddings, I know that pretty much nobody listens to the song when the bride and groom are leaving so try to keep it a little bit upbeat so it may catch peoples attention.

How about Crazy Love - Van morrisson
All You Need Is Love - The Beatles
I'm A Believer - The Monkeys
