Catholic Ceremony Music

so i've been a bad wedding guest and i haven't paid attention to any of the ceremony music that my 30 friends have played. i'm in a weird situation where my church isn't part of a chapel so i need to bring in my own priest and music. there is a nun who can help with things, but i'm pretty much on my own. any suggestions for a non religious catholic couple are welcome- i know i don't want to go modern and that my parents walked out to amazing grace, but i feel like i've been to too many funerals where that played. i need help!

My church had a list but I already sent it back. But I am doing Canon in D and of course the wedding march. Good luck. I looked them all up on youtube to make sure I liked everything.

Our RC church was very specific as to what was allowed. We had to chose something approved. There were lots of options, but nothing 'pop' or not considered religious or at least spiritually contemplative. My DH is the music lover, so he picked them but we listened to a LOT of Catholic wedding music that we found on Spotify and other sites like that.
