Songs for church

I'm having a Catholic Mass for my ceremony and need ideas which songs to use. Thanks!

Re: Songs for church

Do you mean Christian music? Or just music for the recessional, processional, etc.

The only Christian song that I can remember off the top of my head is during the unity candle lighting, there was a song called 'Only God could love you more'.

At DH's friend's wedding last month, a violinist played a song called 'Meditation from Thais' by Massenet while the Mothers were walking in. It was so beautiful I started bawling! You can hear a clip of it here along with other popular wedding songs.
