Music thread

I bumped this because I'm still stuck. Anyone else care to share?

I'm trying to plan the music for my day and thought we could all get ideas by starting a thread. If we just cut and paste the categories and fill in with our choices so far. I'm trying to come up with some unique pieces as I'm the last one of my friends and family to get married and want something unique.
