Diana - I just had my musci planning session at my church last night! They gave us 4 choices for processional:
Bridal Chorus - Wagner (this is 'Here Comes the Bride')
Trumpet Voluntary - Purcell (This is what Princess Diana came down the aisle to...very fitting for you )
Canon in B aka Pachelbel's Canon - Pachelbel
Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring (Bach? - Beautiful)

And for Recessional they gave us these choices:
Wedding March from Midsummer Night's Dream - Mendelsohn (this is the traditional one that everyone recognizes)
Ode to Joy - Beethoven
Allegro Maestoso - Handel
Rondeau - Mouret (this is Masterpiece Theatre)

You can hear snippets of them by going to Amazon.com and entering the song named under Classical Music search and clicking. Or you can listen to them on any of the D/L websites like Kazaa and Morpheus etc. Good luck!

I met with the organist at my church last Saturday and he gave examples of the different songs. Procession I choose Canon in D (better if children are in the wedding, less 'overwhelming' with the organ pipes), Bridal Chorus for me and dad, and leaving with the Wedding March. Playing Ava Maria at the Candle Lighting.
