Less than SEVEN WEEKS!!!

It's getting close!  Less than two months!  We've finally decided on the music:

Bridesmaids' Procession: J.S. Bach's Arioso



Bride's procession: Andre Campra's Rigaudon



Recession: W.A. Mozart's Eine Klein Nachtmusik - Allegro

Music, Music, Music!

I've been thinking about music for the wedding. I am definitely looking at classical for the ceremony. But which pieces should we go for? One thing we AREN'T going to use is Wagner's "Bridal Chorus". Not only is it considered inappropriate in by both Catholics and Jews (though for different reasons. Catholics do not like the piece because not only because it is secular (from an opera) and has pagan roots, but because the marriage of two of the characters, Elsa and Lohengrin is doomed from the start. Jews do not play the "Bridal Chorus" because of Wagner's supposed anti-semetic beliefs. In any case, the "Bridal Chorus" kind of overdone and a little cheesy in my opinion.

Currently, my two favourites for the procession are Mouret's Rondeau (aka theme from Masterpiece Theatre) and Purcell Trumpet Tune. What do you think works best?
