| Christian Songs Contemporary Christian songs can provide a very touching moment
during the ceremony itself. They can be used during the lighting of the
unity candle or along with a prayer. In addition to contemporary Christian
songs, traditional hymns may also be used. These songs can also be used
during the prelude. |

| Classical Music Classical music is often used for the attendant's processional (the
song the groomsmen and bridesmaids enter to) and for the recessional (the
song everyone exits to). The majority of weddings also use classical music
for the seating of family members, although there are many popular songs
that will work well for that also. Classical music can also be freely
interspersed throughout the prelude music. Since many programs list
composers for classical music, each composer is listed along with the
composition. |
