The Processional
The music for the processional
should be music that the party can walk to comfortably, preferably something
with a steady rhythm (as in "Here Comes The Bride"). Along with the suggestions
below, a number of hymns may be used for this purpose, either sung by the
congregation or played by the organist; the choice depends on the repertoire of
your house of worship.

Bride" from Lohengrin) - Wagner
